POLICE will call up the organisers of a gathering over a National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) promise at Menara PTPTN at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng in Kuala Lumpur today.

Dang Wangi District Police Chief ACP Shaharuddin Abdullah said the gathering organised by the Coalition of Malaysian Muslim Students (Gamis) had committed an offence under the Peaceful Assembly Act (APA) 2012.

“No notice was given and action will be taken against the organisers under APA 2012,” he said when contacted.

About 100 students had walked for 3km to the PTPTN Tower, causing traffic congestion.

Meanwhile, Gamis president Muhammad Faizzuddin Mohd Zai wants PTPTN chairman Wan Saiful Wan Jan to resign for failing to carry out the promise related to the agency.

On November 17, Wan Saiful reportedly said the agency could not fulfil the promise of deferring repayments for borrowers earning below RM4,000 as it would cause financial difficulties for the fund. – Bernama, November 24, 2018.
