Many Malaysians find themselves struggling with repaying their National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) loans, leading to a significant number of borrowers defaulting on their payments.
To tackle this issue, the authority has launched student loan discounts and it is about to end on March 31.
To locate the study loan defaulters, they’ve devised a masterstroke by posting “missing person notices” to seek those “vanished” university graduates to repay their study loans.
Through a post published on their official Facebook page yesterday (1 March), they asked netizens if they have friends who have “disappeared from the face of the earth” without repaying their student loans, inviting them to tag these individuals.

There was a netizen reflecting on some issues like the troublesome rescheduling process.
“I really want to pay, but that’s the thing. Every time I want to reschedule, I have to pay a fairly large amount. Is there an easier way to reschedule? I really want to start paying.”
