Petronas should underwrite our PTPTN loans


Dateline 2012-02-24:

A citizens movement in Sabah, calling themselves ‘Oil for Future Movement’ (OFF) wants Petronas to repay all the PTPTN (National Higher Education Fund Corporation) study loans taken by Sabahan students.

OFF chairman Phillip Among said it is only logical for Petronas to help out Sabah students if the federal government wants to give real meaning to its slogan “People First, Performance Now”.

He said thousands from Sabah who had taken study loans from the government-controlled PTPTN are now jobless and have become victims of the scheme which is now demanding they repay their respective aids.
