While confirming its commitment to abolish repayment to national higher education fund (PTPTN) loans and provide free education if it captures Putrajaya, Pakatan Rakyat has stressed that the rich must pay for their own.
“I heard that even the son of Air Asia boss Tony Fernandes also applied (for the loan), this is preposterous,” quipped Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim at a press conference, after chairing the Pakatan Rakyat leadership council meeting today.
He explained that while they will work towards providing the framework for free education and abolishing repayment of PTPTN loans, this will mainly involve the poor and middle income groups who have no other way to pay for education but through borrowing the money.
Lack of access to education, he argued, is not the worry of the rich and super rich.
