Yes, you have not read wrongly! I was interviewed (via FB message lol) and my comments are included in Metro, The Star (Perak Edition) along with a pic :P The article is cropped off a bit at the bottom (the screenshot can only capture so much lol :P)

My experience with this time's interview with a journalist is rather carefree - definitely not like being interviewed for a job or scholarship lol. We are more like 'aunties' at the nearby coffee shop chatting away, sharing each other's thoughts and we both got confused with PTPTN's many twist and turns in their re-payment scheme/s (considering that I have paid very little attention to PTPTN because I'm not a PTPTN borrower lol).
Hence, my strong opinion on making sure all students, before applying for a loan, please be aware of the pros and cons, the repayment schemes and ensure that being a loan borrower, it is your responsibility and duty to repay the agency (despite how low an opinion you have of them). It's like a bank loan, if you don't pay up, you will lose... everything. Seriously. Learn of the consequence before jumping on the PTPTN bandwagon; learn of alternatives; be aware of what you can and cannot do while you still owe money to the PTPTN agency.... information is the king here. Make sure you know and understand these stuff.
