PTPTN chairman Wan Saiful Wan Jan said the announcement will be made soon after Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng, Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik and Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman have completed their review on the document. “We have requested for the green light to present the paper last month, but perhaps there were some consideration to be taken at the higher level. Once we have received it, we will present the paper,” he said.
Last November, the Budget 2019 had stipulated that all PTPTN recipients earning more than RM1,000 would be subjected to salary deductions beginning at two per cent in order to repay their study loans.
