Khaled stands by earlier decision to freeze PTPTN for Selangor
Datuk Seri Khaled Nordin today stood by his earlier decision to back the recent student loan freeze in Universiti Selangor (Unisel).
The higher education minister today refused to apologise for backing the National Higher Education Fund (PTPTN) loan freeze and insisted Pakatan Rakyat (PR) could not deliver on its promise of free education.
Calling PR’s pledge of free education “just a mere promise”, Khaled (picture) said PR’s announcement to sell land owned by the university to raise RM30 million to help finance those being denied access to the student loans “is just an excuse to sell land”.
