Proposal for travel restrictions inappropriate as Cabinet has yet to make a decision, says deputy prime minister.
KUALA LUMPUR: Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail has called for a review of any plans for travel restrictions on borrowers who fail to repay loans from the National Higher Education Fund Corporation .
“We haven’t made any decision. When did we discuss it? PTPTN has provided space and opportunities for the students to pursue higher studies but there are a handful who did not service their PTPTN study loans . Wan Azizah, who is MP for Pandan, told this to reporters after attending a breaking of fast with disabled people organised by the Pandan Indah Constituency Service Centre and Selangor Ehsan Ummah Welfare Organisation here today.
Wan Saiful urged the public to channel feedback to PTPTN via the right channel namely Kertas Konsultasi Rakyat which is provided on its official website.
