Sending the wrong message to debtors


I REFER to your report “Let PTPTN borrowers use EPF money to pay off loan,” (The Star, July 19)

I question the Pakatan Harapan government’s move to defer repayment of National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) loans until student borrowers earn more than RM4,000 a month as well as the decision not to bar defaulters from leaving the country.
