Am I allowed to move in MMU's hostel by 26th Jan (Registration Day) instead of 27th and 28th Jan (Orientation)? I'm too worried of being soo 'home'less.

I went through MMU thread V2 on this forum, some previous posts suggested that the application of PTPTN loan could be done even after the orientation(when the 'Ceramah Hari bersama Ptptn' thing is given.
So, was it true? 'cause I just bought the Ptptn pin, havent really got any idea what to do with it. I thought I'd have a better idea regarding it after the ceramah thing....
( I cannot survive without Ptptn loan)
Helpppp....

About PTPTN loan application, i think it's best for you to attend the orientation so that the Admission officers will brief you about it.
Usually they will announce the date for MMU student's to apply it online, then after you apply it, wait for the "Hari Bersama PTPTN" to submit the documents needed.

thanks, ill attend the orientation,

usually they will make an announcement on onlinecyber about "Hari Bersama PTPTN", so add onlinecyber in ur "everyday web to visit" list

Just to add, you can actually go to PTPTN website and register. That pin number is enable you to have an account so they can inform you whether the money is in or not. You can wait if you want, but for me I registered right away. Google ptptn malaysia, that's what I did.

Of course you can wait for the orientation, they will help you explain better. Most of the time, the orientation will be done during class hours =( so get ready to sacrifice some class time for you to do your ptptn.

Btw, listen CAREFULLY and take notes when they tell you what to do, because if you have even one document unverified, then you'll have to wait, queue up and go through the whole process again.

Oh ya for those who took PTPTN and are working now, just a reminder. They have finally changed the interest rate to 1% so you guys have to submit a simple formal letter to them so that they will manually change the interest rate for you. it's troublesome i know, but you get to have 1% rate which is really a relief!

About the 1% interest, it's not quite a relief actually.
1% interest is based on fixed interest, which mean they will take the total amount you loan, then have around 1.xx% interest rate + handling fee + xxxx,
then only will divide on how many months you need to pay back.

For 3%, they will take the total amount you still "hutang" them, then x3% for that month.

For those who wish to pay more to finish up the loan earlier, it's best to stay at 3% based.

Example: If you get loan for 8k for foundation and you get scholarship for Degree, and you wish to pay the total amount of 8k once you graduate,
you just need to pay the interest for the "delay" you made for your degree program.

BUT, if you take the 1% based, even you wanna pay the total amount of 8k once you graduate, you still need to pay the total 1.xx% interest for total months you agreed. (90 months example)
Means even you're paying early or late, the total amount you paid is the SAME.

-Do I have to get the 'NO. PENDAFTARAN DARI JABATAN KEBAJIKAN MASYARAKAT' ?
-What is 'NO. CUKAI PENDAPATAN'?
-Buku/Penyata nombor akaun persendirian mengikut bank yang telah ditetapkan oleh IPT masing-masing-->Photocopy the whole account book and get it certified?


sorry, I really dunoo.

very expensive wei, fourth floor more expensive than ground floor, why?

ground floor will have more movement and activity. Yes, privacy. But the difference is not much as well

True true, search for houses around Taman Dahlia or Bukit Beruang. Rent can go as cheap at RM150 per person depending on whether you share with your roommates or not. RM200 per person you can get an airconditioned single room for yourself in Bukit Beruang already. And trust me, air cond in Melaka is HIGHLY appreciated!

yeap. true. but what the person ask is regarding the hostel in cyber.
