If only aim that means kiss goodbye to scholarship
What bout ppl who aim for scholarship, excellent co-co built all years, Certa, AJK, pengerusi etc, and straight As then moral B3, ----> 14th floor
From my point of view, I prefer PTPTN.
Let's see, you got straight A's in SPM and bloody went for all the co-curricular activities in highschool standing under the hot sun marching etc. and finally got a scholarship. That's cool. Well done. And then you will have to endure the bloody stress of not letting your cgpa/GPA drop below a certain value or not risking of losing your scholarship. Worst of all, you probably have to serve a company/government company/organization for a stipulated period of time after you graduated.
PTPTN however, chill during your high school and forge a low income statement for ptptn during registration to allow you to have the maximum loan. Imagine 5000 bucks for Sem 1 tuition fees and they wire 8000 bucks for that Sem. That's like 3000 bucks allowance for you. Allocate 1000 bucks for beer every sem = massive profit. However, yes. You have to pay back. But trying thinking it of this way, you love to aim straight A's in SPM, why not aim for first class honours? Your ptptn loan will be automatically converted to scholarship. = godlike profit. But yes, if you continue to chill during uni, have fun in repaying back then.
Just my two cents for spm leavers.
