PTPTN

Told by GaikSim today that our PTPTN loans can be converted into scholarships again, which is stated in Budget 2010. How true is it? Is it confirmed? I'm not sure, but I wish that it will become a reality... So that i'll have a target to fight for...

News from The Star Online:

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/10/23/budget2010/20091023161104&sec=budget2010

* Conversion of PTPTN loans to scholarships for students who graduate with 1st class honours degree, beginning from 2010. *

"Beginning from 2010", means it's applicable for students who apply it or graduate, after 2010? Need more clarification!!!

Btw, there is still no update in Laman Web Rasmi PTPTN...

Hmm... Should I put too much hope into this?
