PTPTN decision to temporarily freeze its study loans to new students in Unisel, an university wholly owned by the Selangor government, is done in bad taste, it is a decision seen by majority of rakyat as an act of revenge, full of vengeance, contains malafide or ill intention, the funny part is they (the powers to be) could well live to regret it, but by that time it would be too late. It doesn't make any economic sense, let alone common sense. If the Selangor government could somehow find funds, to actually subsidize the studies, the stunt of freezing the loans would backfire, rakyat from other states and places would sit up and wonder...the possibilities and realities of free education actually being implemented, and whoever the Tom, Dick or Harry who proposed the freeze better go into hiding....
Yes, Selangor is a prized asset, yes, Najib sounded the war horn, instructing his cammaderies to re-capture Selangor.... but stooping this low?....Unimaginable low?...Disgusting low?...Yucks!
This would actually increase the sympathisers group, fence sitters would be tempted to join the bandwagon of Pakatan supporters, people would start to take notice that the powers to be are so power crazy that they are willing to try all means to suffocate the Pakatan States, economically that is, while their idea is that the rakyat will be angry with the Pakatan leaders....it is misfiring...in fact it is back firing.
The rakyat are not STUPID, they could evaluate what is right and what is wrong, the money is the Rakyats' money and not the Barisan Nasional's money...we deserve much better than this....
May God help us...and have mercy on us............A.H.Baharom
Hope that former Unisel's chancellor, Bik Mama can do something to help UNISEL's student gain back the PTPTN.:)
