To PTPTN borrowers who graduated with First Class Honours but not entitled to loan exemption
Posted by TraCy at 1:14 PMTo PTPTN borrowers who graduated with First Class Honours but not entitled to loan exemption:
All these years PTPTN borrowers were exempted from loan payment provided they graduates with a First Class Degree Honours. However, things changed in 2005. If one were to refer to PTPTN website, it was stated that "Exemption of repayment will only be considered for borrowers who obtain first class honours for loans approved prior to 1st July 2005 ONLY by submitting an application". And I was among the unfortunates.
Following the announcement of budget plan of 2010, I sincerely believed that all the university students were delighted by the news that First Class Honours graduates would be exempted from the loan repayment (again). Unfortunately, after checking with the authority from PTPTN, only graduates who complete their study in 2010 are eligible to that privilege. How could this happen? It is extremely unfair to the a few batches of students whose loan was approved after July 2005, and graduated in 2009.
In a letter I received from the office of the Higher Education Ministry recently, it was stated that: "Kementerian sedang mengkaji beberapa impak khusus kepada kerajaan apabila pengecualian daripada membayar balik pinjaman daripada PTPTN bagi pemegang Ijazah Kelas Pertama dilaksanakan. Perkara ini akan dibentangkan kepada YAB Perdana Menteri dan keputusannya akan dimaklumkan kelak."
I hereby appeal to all PTPTN borrowers who graduated with First Class Honours but not entitled to loan exemption to leave me a message, with your name/University/program/graduation year stated. I sincerely hope that we could be connected to each other via FB, united we stand and spell out our wish to be exempted from the loan repayment. I hope that we could at least put up a letter by the second week of June 2010.
Many thanks!
Best Regards,
Tracy

Yes, all those who graduate in 2010are entitled to the exemption.
I've just called PTPTN last friday, still waiting for feedback. Apparently they did not received the feedback forwarded from the Prime Minister's Office via email. Hopefully there would be positive progress soon...

Thanks for your input. Please be informed that the first appeal had been submitted to the Prime Minister's Office in late July. However, there was no news about it. I am currently working on the second appeal.
I do receive some feedbacks without details (perhaps they are not interested to be added to the name list). Kindly note that only those who had provided information on NAME/UNIVERSITY/YEAR OF GRADUATION/PROGRAMME would be listed in my appeal letter.
Appreciate if this news could be forwarded to your friends who are facing the same problem. I believe the appeal would carry more weight if we have more names.
Many thanks.

Tracy
Tracy I've sent you email on my details.
To all who faces the same "wrong timing" scenario,
I've appealed once by my own and it wasn't effective. If you are reading until here, I presume you face the same problem. Please make the appeal possible by dropping your details to Tracy. After all, we all deserves a scholarship!
I am another first class graduate of 2008 and I just send you my detail to your email. I really hope we all can receive a fair treatment.
I just sent my details to ur email. Kindly add me into ur namelist and hopefully, ur appeal will be approved.
To all,
Please dont give up easily.

IPT = Institut Pengajian Tinggi
Certificates must be signed by the Academic Department (Department which issues your transcript/scroll) IN YOUR UNIVERSITY, not PTPTN.
Congrats that u r exempted.

Can I know what's your exemption status now? I'm a graduate from 2008 batch (July 2005 loan borrower). I've been calling PTPTN numerous times but my status is also never exempted. Disappointed!
