Many parents, especially those from the Chinese community, are unaware of the
existence of the Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi Nasional-PTPTN (National
Body For Higher Education Fund). As long as your child is accepted into any
government-run or semi government-run institute of higher learning, he/she is
eligible to apply for an annual study loan of RM15,000.00 maximum. The amount
approved will be depending on the total incomes of the parents. Students whose
parents' monthly incomes are RM3,500.00 and below are urged to apply in order to
lessen the burden on your family budgets. There is no more excuse for NOT
sending your child to further study if his/her results are good enough to earn a
place in any government or semi government institute from now on. I was quite
saddened by the bad news that there were mishandlings of the PTPTN loans
recently. The concept is so good and noble , yet there are selfish and greedy
people trying to ruin it. We need highly educated young people in order to build
a nation that is advanced, prosperous and happy. Please don't ruin the PTPTN
loan scheme so that smart children from poor families can persuade their dreams
of completing their higher studies and help to build a nation that can be on par
with any developed nation.
