KUALA LUMPUR – The government has agreed to give a three-month loan deferment to National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) borrowers affected by floods.
Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Noraini Ahmad said the decision was made as the government cares and is committed to helping Malaysian families, including PTPTN borrowers, who are affected by the recent floods, which had caused major property damage.
“Affected borrowers can apply (for the loan deferment) to PTPTN from December 28 to March 31, 2022,” she said in a statement today.
Noraini said the details would be announced by PTPTN soon and it was hoped that the loan deferment would help alleviate the burden of the affected borrowers. – Bernama, December 25, 2021
