KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 — Graduates earning between RM2,501 and RM3,000 a month will only need to repay their National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) loans at a minimum rate of RM50 per month, with the flexibility announced in Budget 2027.
Deputy Higher Education Minister Adam Adli Abdul Halim said the loan repayment flexibility initiative is expected to benefit more than 400,000 people, helping to ease the financial burden on graduates who have just entered the workforce.
He said graduates earning below RM2,500 a month would not need to begin repaying their loans until they reached the stipulated income threshold.
“We can address this concern in the most effective way possible for now.
