THE Housing and Local Govern­ment Ministry has announced that blacklisted National Higher Edu­cation Fund Corporation (PTPTN) borrowers who are listed on the Central Credit Reference Infor­mation System (CCRIS) will not be blacklisted if they apply to buy a home (“Good news for PTPTN borrowers”, The Star, July 11; online at bit.ly/star_loans).

Is this measure good for consumers, especially young workers, and the banks and property developers?
