Pakatan: Abolish PTPTN, but rich must pay
While confirming its commitment to abolish repayment to national higher education fund (PTPTN) loans and provide free education if it captures Putrajaya, Pakatan Rakyat has stressed that the rich must pay for their own.
“I heard that even the son of Air Asia boss Tony Fernandes also applied (for the loan), this is preposterous,” quipped Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim at a press conference, after chairing the Pakatan Rakyat leadership council meeting today.
He explained that while they will work towards providing the framework for free education and abolishing repayment of PTPTN loans, this will mainly involve the poor and middle income groups who have no other way to pay for education but through borrowing the money.
Lack of access to education, he argued, is not the worry of the rich and super rich.

Lain pula sekarang, mahu memansuhkan PTPTN, tetapi meletakkan double standard.
ReplyDeleteKalau mahu memansuhkan PTPTN, semua rakyat berhak menikmatinya. Orang kaya juga membayar cukai setiap tahun, mengapa merekat tidak menikmati pinjaman PTPTN?
ReplyDeleteBeban cukai yang tinggi akan dipindahkan kepada rakyat jika pendidikan diberikan percuma.
ReplyDeleteTidak semua rakyat mampu membayar cukai yang tinggi. Pasti segala cukai akan naik
DeletePertimbangkan dulu jika mahu hapuskan pinjaman PTPTN ni.
ReplyDelete“I heard that even the son of Air Asia boss Tony Fernandes also applied (for the loan), this is preposterous,”
ReplyDeleteHeard only doesn't prove anything. Get your fact right first.
Bukankah PTPTN untuk bantu yang pelajar yang susah? Kalau sudah latar belakangnya kaya, bukankah automatik pelajar itu tidak layak menerima pinjaman? Buat loan di bank sajalah.
ReplyDeleteTu cuma gimik saja, Anwar cuma mahu menarik perhatian dan undi kaum muda mudi.
ReplyDeleteKelentong Anwar sajer. Semasa PTPTN ditubuhkan Anwar adalah DPM dan juga menteri kewangan. Tak kan la dia tidak terlibat meluluskan PTPTN..Nyayuk
DeleteAnwar sendiri dulu terlibat dalam penubuhan PTPTN, sekarang pura2 jadi hero pula.
ReplyDeleteKalau dilihat memang PTPTN perlu memastikan mahasiswa tidak berbeban. Tambahan lagi kadar faedah yang ditetapkan oleh PTPTN itu.
