Abolish PTPTN or Convert PTPTN Into Scholarship?

Hello to whoever you may be

It’s another new day

We are a day older and a day nearer to DEATH

Life can be so fascinating if we rotate our PERSPECTIVES at times

The issue of PTPTN is closely related to IPTA/IPTS students across the nation

As at January 31, 2014, a number of 2.15 MILLION students benefit from this loan with a total allocation of RM48.27 BILLION since its introduction

In 2014, RM2.9 BILLION is allocated to 501, 414 current students and 211, 098 new students

*that’s a lot of bucks, we’re talking about BILLION*

I’m not an applicant, but most of my friends are

Alhamdulillah, I’m blessed with parents who can financially aid my study

But not everyone is as FORTUNATE as I am

The subject that I’d like to bring up to attention is regarding a motion to ABOLISH PTPTN

But before anything, let me represent myself as a NON-PARTISAN with a NEUTRAL belief

Let’s set aside our political affiliation and OPEN our hearts towards this matter

That way, we can mutually achieve a SMOOTH discourse along the way

The government and opposition are in DIFFERENT boat over this matter with the government wishes to SUSTAIN it and the opposition is interested in the other way around

In discussing this critical matter, opinions of the applicants are INEVITABLE

I just want to stress that NOTHING is FREE in this world nowadays

If you don’t FIGHT, you lose

Many applicants are UNEASY with the idea of paying back the loan

There are 412, 245 students who haven’t made their loan repayments as at August 31 last year

It is understandable that every applicant ORIGINATES from DIFFERENT financial backgrounds

There are applicants who BARELY even have money to live, what’s more talking about loan repayment? DEBTS are after their lives, how can they even SLEEP at night?

This situation or should I say DARK reality, can actually be AVOIDED from the very beginning

But how is this even possible?

I’ll tell you how

PTPTN has agreed to WRITE OFF the loan, but on condition

The condition is very simple, graduate with 1^st CLASS DEGREE and you’re free

For IPTS students, they must also acquire ACCREDITATION from MQA for the course they attended

People may say, it is a lot EASIER to speak than done

And the fact that not everyone is blessed with INTELLIGENCE, is the reason that not everyone can fulfill such condition as required

People may also say, PTPTN is fund by the people through TAXATION

Therefore, they are entitled to the money which they applied as loan

So, no paying back should apply here in the right sense

Well then, think again

As I said earlier, if you don’t fight, you lose

And nothing is FREE in this world

This is an OPEN world with no BARRIERS to excellent success

Every single person was born with a BRAIN, make use of that organ to the fullest extend

The only difference between successful and less successful students is measured at how WISELY they use their brains

You don’t have to worry about paying back your PTPTN loan just by obtaining 1^st class degree

Therefore, from now on, initiate some efforts to lawfully ESCAPE from the obligation of repaying your loan by STUDYING really hard (or smart or both) starting from the 1^st year of your study

I wish you all the best with that and make sure you SUCCEED!

Another thing before I wrap up, taxation is the most CRITICAL source of income to the country

Those money are used for the purpose of DEVELOPMENT which will benefit us all entirely

Buildings and infrastructures AREN’T the only areas that need development, so do our POLITICAL system, ECONOMIC growth and SOCIAL life
Especially EDUCATION development

Funds are needed to preserve and improve university infrastructures, to buy lectures materials and the list goes on. In fact, the list is rolling long
There are many things that can be done whenever there is fund of course.

What I’m trying to say here is, PTPTN or should I say the government, need those money back to offer us a COMFORT living. Don’t you want it that way?

It’s you to decide now for you future

Whatever your decision is, I won’t JUDGE

Nor will I INFLUENT your decision, it’s your call afterall

I only want you to decide wisely

Please decide wisely
