Give Wan Saiful a break, he’s telling the truth — Geoffrey Williams | Malay MailMAY 19 — Wan Saiful Wan Jan, Chairman of PTPTN, is fast becoming Malaysia’s very own Theresa May — a very good person with a seemingly impossible job! Rightly admired for his honesty and insightful thought-leadership, Wan Saiful and his team at PTPTN have done an excellent job in laying out... The dumb commenters & columnists who don't see that the one at fault are the stupid defaulters in the 1st place. If you can't afford to study and don't want to be burdened by a loan then don't take it in the first place. The govt is giving a loan. Not a grant. Not a scholarship. Like the EPF, all PTPTN borrowers should be listed in the system and an auto debit should be incurred based on bandwidth. If that student cannot 'afford' it then they should not take the loan. Then you will be debt-free. Simple. If you have no means to pay back in future, do not study. At first u act grateful when the govt gives u a loan and when your studies is over u say bad things and refuse to pay back? Such entitlement! Malaysians do deserve to be burnt to the ground.
