Aggressive action needed to recover PTPTN loans


I REFER to the article “‘We’re open to reviewing loans rates’” (The Star, April 12; online at bit.ly/star_ptptn). I am shocked and disgusted that the National Higher Education Fund Corporation’s (PTPTN) outstanding debt has “nearly reached RM40bil to date”.

What a shame that those who were aided in their time of need now do not care about the needs of other students. They should show gratitude that their parents were not burdened with loans or the need to mortgage their property.
