Sigh...malas nak layan dah. Continue to look at the smaller picture. I can't argue with simpletons.
come, let's look the bigger picture.
providing good education is the government's job right ?
more people getting tertiary education is good for the economy right ?
they are more professional and drives the economy more, right ?
so, it is in the government's best interest to make sure that PTPTN continues, so it can continue support to produce more graduates for the country.
now, let us look at why making PTPTN payback a firesale is bad.
first, it will discourage new borrowers, which in turn, reduces the amount of graduates.
less capable workforce for the country means less taxes, and less economy advancement.
second, with this new rule of forced payback in place.
every investor in the world would think, the government can do anything to make its people to pay debts, surely they can amend the public law and screw up private companies to pay debts to banks or the government.
so, now is this the bigger picture ? or we just pay off the PTPTN, then everything else don't matter ?
