I see. So people like ministers/ceo should not borrow car loan of 5 7 9 years? They only can borrow 1 or 2 years car loan? Then go ask the banks to apply for salary discrimination and see hw. Ask salary over 20k to settle all loan in 2 years? Since u say should priority ur loan right. Wtf
Now see, you don't understand the situation because you said you are being 'discriminated'. I will ikut your examplelah of a bank car loan. Banks will give CEO and ministers the same amount of years to pay back the loan like the rakyat like us. 5-6 years. Now, the tenure is set. You can either pay the monthly amount as stipulated or pay it off early. Same like PTPTN, yes. But this is where it goes different. Bank's car loan has the authority to repo your car if you failed to make the payment on time and they can kenakan you with extra interests. These people have a chance to lose something. And CEOs and ministers would be able to pay it off before their tenure.
Now, why did the current government decide to do this change? It is because PTPTN wasn't strict with their loaners. People can borrow the money but decide to lari diri or don't pay. You are the minority of people who pays on time and follow their schedule, good. But the majority aren't. What punishment do they give to the people who don't pay? Nothing. No extra interests, no fine, nothing. Because of how lax and incompetent the previous government was. So if you want to get pissed off, get pissed off with the previous administrator for not being strict enough with those runaways. Unfair, yes but this is like how the punishment is; 1 buat salah, semua orang kena. Not saying it is right but it is what it is now.
So you kept on saying investment this and that, why? Your choice, right? Fine. I give you that but clearly the choice you made is a poor one because you think that your loans is not as important as your investments. People make choices but they tend to choose the poor one. You are looking at PTPTN as a poor investment because you get nothing in return for clearing it up, hence which is why you rather pay the minimum amount until the tenure reaches.
