KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 11 — National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) borrowers with no arrears who make regular repayments will enjoy a 10 per cent discount from 2027.
PTPTN chairman Datuk Seri Norliza Abdul Rahim said the incentive was a form of recognition for borrowers who demonstrated discipline in fulfilling their loan repayment obligations.
“The initiative, which will be implemented in 2027, aims to encourage consistent repayments and reduce the risk of loan arrears,” she said in a statement today.
She said the government has announced an initiative to defer PTPTN loan repayments in 2027, which would benefit more than 400,000 borrowers, as well as a minimum monthly repayment of RM50 for low-income borrowers.
