The Youth and Sports Minister says he is against any plan to potentially blacklist PTPTN loan defaulters from travelling.

Syed Saddiq says he will challenge any such proposal brought to the Cabinet.

He explained that the travel ban will only add undue pressure on fresh graduates earning low incomes.

The Minister was commenting on calls to reintroduce the travel ban for loan defaulters, if the majority of people are in favour of it.

Meanwhile, PTPTN has launched an online survey, which will run until June 13 to get feedback on its study loan repayment scheme.
