BANGI: The National Higher Education Fund Corp (PTPTN) must give a reasonable amount of time before reintroducing any travel ban for those who fail to service their education loans, says PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
"I agree with the public's positive view to ensure that any decision will be not be seen as troubling defaulters," he said when asked about his views on the PTPTN's proposal to reintroduce a travel ban to loan defaulters.
"I am will support the people's will, and I feel that the public will disagree with any harsh actions, especially for those who have yet to get a job. "Why do we want to burden them, that is my view," said the Port Dickson MP. In a media briefing earlier on Thursday , the PTPTN management said it was also looking at several other options to improve study loan repayments.
“If the people are for it, we will bring it up to the Cabinet, but the decision is not in our hands,” he said when launching a public consultation initiative at the PTPTN headquarters earlier on Thursday.
