From MP for Kapar’s site:
Amaun pinjaman yang sepatutnya dibayar balik oleh peminjam kepada PTPTN adalah sebanyak RM 2.12 billion yang melibatkan 597,066 peminjam. Daripada jumlah tersebut, sebanyak RM1.02 billion telah berjaya dikutip manakala baki yang tertunggak adalah sebanyak RM1.09 billion. Daripada jumlah baki tertunggak tersebut, sebanyak RM 798.07 Juta (73.2%) adalah terdiri dari peminjam kaum Melayu, RM 174.05 (16.0 %) dari peminjam kaum Cina, RM 51.0 juta (4.7%) dari peminjam kaum India dan RM 67.3 (6.2%) terdiri daripada peminjam lain-lain kaum.
hmm…any comments? For me, I was thinking that “lain-lain” should have been the highest borrowers (assuming we are refering to East Malaysians). Maybe most of them paid back in time, thus not reflected in the defaulters statistics.
Thanks for letting me know that I’m not the only one who is struggling with personal debt. I lost my job 6 months ago and have not been able to find anything, full time or part time. I have stopped using all credit cards and always pay cash for everyhting now. I just didn’t figure that I would ever get into this situation.
