Not calculated like that.

Loan interest is calculated daily.
if you have outstanding loan let say 250k, it will x the new BLR (if) with daily calculation.

There are 2 situation can occur,
1. Monthly loan repayment increases based on calculation of the whole tenure of the loan vs its interest rate.
Aka previous if BLR 6.6% enable to repay off the 25 year loan with 1000 monthly, with the new increased rate, it become 10xx.

2. Monthly repayment still stay the same, 1000, but to finish off the loan take more than 25 years.
*
If u are in 20s, 30s and taking 20 / 25 yr loan, possible for monthly repayment to remain constant but loan tenure extended

But Tenure of Loan repayment cannot be extended for those who take 30-years loan or past 40++

My view, unlikely BNM want to move the rate prior before GST implementation.

It may be one off 0.25% increase then no move until the GST implemented, as there are plenty of uncertainty factors
with GST implementation with potential one off inflation due to GST, and economy slowdown due to GST as well.
*
there could be 1-more rate hike just before or right after GST

Its not whether we are ready or not

Not ready also no choice - have to accept it

Just hope for reduction in Personal Income Tax
