PTPTN is RM40 billion in debt and counting. On June 13, it will be closing the public consultation and begins the process of compiling the feedback of the people to be submitted to the cabinet., Wan Saiful seems to be leaning towards a mixed approach in dealing with debtors as opposed to the more punitive demands from sections of the public. We also try to get clues into his thinking about general policy on education funding.
