Malay groups want PTPTN loan exemption for Bumis only
BY ANISAH SHUKRY Published: 23 November 2014
A coalition of Malay rights groups, led by Perkasa, today urged Putrajaya to consider allowing only Bumiputeras to be exempt from repaying their National Higher Education Fund (PTPTN) loanschemes. They noted in their National Unity Memorandum that the majority of PTPTN borrowers exempted from repaying their loans were Chinese, and this could anger the Bumiputeras. (他们在《民族团结备忘录》指出,大多数获得豁免偿还PTPTN贷款的都是华裔,这可能激怒土著。)
"The Malaysian government must take immediate action over the phenomenon of many non-Bumiputeras being exempted 100% from PTPTN, compared with the Bumiputera students," read the memorandum, which was drafted by a committee headed by Perkasa chief DatukI brahim Ali.
"At the same time, the Malaysian government must study the reasons why Bumiputera students' academicsare declining, compared with non-Bumiputeras."In this context, the Malaysian government should review whether PTPTN exemptions should be given to Bumiputeras alone, in line with Article 153 of the Federal Constitution."
The current PTPTN systems allows for all its debtors who graduated with first-class honours to be exempt from repaying their loans, regardless of race. (目前,PTPTN的接待制度允许的所有借贷人如毕业于一等荣誉,可以把贷款转换为奖学金,以免除偿还贷款。该制度是不以种族区分。) But the memorandum by the Malay groups today warned that the rising trend of Chinese students enjoying the loan exemptions could jeopardise national unity. (华裔学生享受免除贷款的上升趋势可能危害国家的团结.)
They noted that in 2011, 8,818 Chinese students were exempted from repaying the PTPTN loans, compared with 2,347 Malays, and 456 Indians."If this issue is not handledwisely, it could result in Bumiputera students getting angry with PTPTN and upset with the Malaysian government. (“如果这个问题没有处理得当,就会造成土著学生恼怒PTPTN及对马来西亚政府感到失望.)
"At the same time, this issue could potentially create anger among Bumiputera students towards non-Bumiputerastudents." (“同时,这个问题可能会令土著学生讨厌非土著学生。”)
The memorandum also suggested thatmore non-Bumiputeras earned first-class honours compared with Bumiputerasbecause private higher education institutions (IPTS) were more"lenient" and had a "hidden agenda".
"Firstly, how and why are Bumiputera students unable to compete with non-Bumiputera students?
为何土族学生成绩无法超越非土族学生?
"Secondly, are PTPTN's actions caused by the lenient marking systems and curriculum of the IPTS, to the point that many non-Bumiputera students gain first-class honours, so that they need not repay their PTPTN loans? PTPTN的政策是否造成私立大专院校对非土族学生批改松懈和降低水平以让他们得到一等学位而不必偿还PTPTN贷学金?
"Thirdly, are Bumiputera students in the IPTS and IPTA not the cream of the creams?
难道土族学生不是政府大学和私立大专院校精英中的精英?
Fourthly, is there a hidden agenda by certain quarters in IPTS to allow many non-Bumiputeras to become exempted from repaying their PTPN?"
政府大学相关机构是否有一个隐藏的议程让许多非土族学生豁免偿还PTPTN贷学金?
The memorandum was debated amongover 300 Malay NGOs at the National Unity Convention in Kuala Lumpur today,before it was approved later in the evening. The groups intend to send the National Unity Memorandum to the government, the Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Council of Rulers.
