PTPTN, a pawn in hands of politicians

Vindictive! This aptly describes the Barisan Nasional federal government, which has no contrition in bending to despicable levels to achieve the agenda. Too many incidents have taken place which have proved the machinations of this government.

The latest of events however is by distant the many pathetic of moves done by BN, or more precisely by nothing alternative than the emissary budding apportion Muhyiddin Yassin.

This time the victims were nothing alternative than students of dual universities managed by the Selangor state government. Selangor, once the BN-stronghold, fell in to the hands of the antithesis in the 2008 general election.

The Jun 6, 2012, domestic shenanigans by BN to solidify loans to the April intake, left some 1,000 uninformed intakes in the lurch, giving these students of Universiti Selangor (Unisel) as well as Islamic University College (Kuis) sleepless nights, disrupting their concentration on their studies.

While the pierce to solidify the loan was done by the National Higher Education Fund (PTPTN), it however was allegedly masterminded by Muhyiddin who is additionally the Education Minister.

Muhyiddin is out to "teach" the Selangor supervision led by Pakatan Rakyat the doctrine when the latter claimed it wanted to repel the PTPTN as well as yield 'pro bono' preparation to students.

Sadly, the 'freeze the loans' preference was additionally backed by Higher Education Minister Khaled Nordin.

But small did Muhyiddin as well as Khaled realise which their irresponsible movement would backfire. As the result, the loans were restored 3 days later.

Muhyiddin's deep-rooted reven! ge
Such deep-rooted punish shown by leaders like Muhyiddin as well as Khaled cannot be overlooked as well as needs to be arrested, by approach of removing absolved of such politicians who place domestic moves above the well-being of students.

Muhyiddin had the gall to justify the freeze, observant Khaled was "testing" the PKR-led Selangor government's capability to suggest giveaway preparation to students.

"Khaled wants to find out if the Unisel students have been unequivocally in need of PTPTN loans as well as how serious have been the opposition-ruled states about charity giveaway education," Muhyiddin said.

The DPM pronounced if the Higher Education Minister was satisfied which the students need PTPTN loans, it meant which the opposition's call to abolish PTPTN was something unrealistic as well as does not take in to consideration the interests of students.

Clearly, Muhyiddin is the preacher of "there have been no giveaway lunches" but afterwards to punish the students usually to make his indicate was unbecoming. Is which how leaders of the nation aspiring to achieve Vision 2020 behave?

The semantics of receiving Malaysia to larger heights is usually good as distant as words go. Translating words in to movement is something leaders like Muhyiddin is distant from capable of doing.

'Freeze' pierce bad publisity for Umno
Contrary to PTPTN chairperson Ismail Mohamed Said's assertion which the solidify pierce pushed PKR to the corner, the act finished up being the bad publisity for Umno, the widespread celebration of BN which calls the shots in many issues.

Since when has Ismail been bustling blending politics with work or for which make the difference why is he bustling apple-polishing his domestic masters? Like Muhyiddin, is Ismail as well out to serve the motive?

Ismail's smugness is worrying as well as similarly worrying is his giving priority to ma! king his 'bosses' happy.

"During debates, PKR leaders boldly say which they wish to abolish PTPTN as well as give giveaway preparation to students. So, we tested them on Unisel. In 3 days, they (Selangor state government) asked us to restore the loans to students.

"Even Selangor menteri besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim concurred which they can't give giveaway preparation to students during the own varsities," Ismail gloated.

No doubt left which PTPTN has turn the 'pawn' in the hands of politicians like Muhyiddin as well as whoever occupies the PTPTN chairperson's responsibility-laden position.

Is Ismail impersonation amnesia or is this MP for Kuala Krau as well bustling playing politics which he has lost the 'freeze' pierce was condemned by all, together with those from the BN camp?

If Ismail is trying to paint the fake picture which Selangor MB Khalid went begging during the doorstep of Umno to get the loans restored, afterwards the former has failed.

Khalid instead took the 'SOS' approach by announcing which the Selangor supervision would repay resources worth about RM30 million in order to help students of Unisel affected by the 'freeze'.

"The Selangor supervision views with concern the difficulty faced by the brand new students of Unisel who have been victimised following the actions of the federal supervision as well as Higher Education Minister to solidify their PTPTN loans," was how Khalid reacted.

Thankfully, the Selangor MB was not willing to bob usually as low as Muhyiddin as well as Khaled.

Malaysia's evolution the distant dream
DPM Muhyiddin, who is additionally Umno emissary president, is sparing no effort in forcefully endorsing his "Malaysia for Malays only" bulletin while his boss, budding apportion Najib Tun Razak is going about claiming Malaysia needs evolution, not revolution.

Has Najib ever pondered what pushed the unchanging pe! ople to 'rebel' or partake in the revolution? It is precisely because of the abuse of management as well as energy as displayed by his DPM which go on to turn 'the final straw which breaks the camel's back', to proverbially put it.

In Muhyiddin's case, it is carefully depressing sufficient which he unabashedly keeps revealing his extremist nature to the rakyat. Now, he has openly done it well known which he has no qualms victimising anyone who dare consider otherwise as well as who have the courage to 'rock the boat'.

In the meantime, the Najib-Muhyiddin mindsets continue to clash, during the responsibility of the brotherly Malaysians. And Najib's '1Malaysia' promotion proclaiming Malaysia as the nation where the people regard themselves as 'Malaysians first' as well as by race, religion, geographical segment or socio-economic background second continues to befuddle the rakyat.

To Najib, know which the nation's true evolution can usually happen when extremist mindsets die the natural death, paving the approach for holistic meditative to flourish. Until then, series competence be the usually approach to make these supposed leaders consider as well as reflect on who they have been indeed serving i.e. the rakyat or themselves.
