What is PTPTN? PTPTN is the student loan that I need to fund my studies.

My experience with PTPTN application has NOT been satisfying. Here’s my story. I was supposed to apply for the loan since I first enrolled which was July 2007 but then I was told my course does NOT have the code yet but we can wait for the online application. Ok. Fine. I waited and waited. They said they’d call when the code is ready.. I waited and waited. I asked them again but they said no, not ready until online application has been canceled and back to the form which we would have to buy RM5.

I remember going to the briefing, then I was yet once again told my course does NOT have the code. I remember asking my faculty lecturer about the form, she said the form is not likely to change and has not changed for years… so I should fill it up and keep it…. nope, she was wrong.

It changed.

That was RM5 gone down the drain.

So few months ago I asked the people in charge of PTPTN and said I’m from July intake, 2 semesters gone already.. they said if I apply at that moment they won’t fund the first semester so I was like WHAT. THE. FUCK. But they said they would try to help and I don’t have to worry.

Then last month I asked again, bought the new form ..fucking Rm5 and asked the new guy in charge whose name I won’t mention here. Fuck. He said the course code has been ready for ages. I’m wrong. I should admit I’m wrong for not asking earlier. The old person in charge was wrong. So i said FINE. I”M WRONG. I didn’t want to argue with him. My mistake for not bugging them a lot. So I proceed to fill in the form ON THAT DAY. That was 2 weeks ago.

ON THAT DAY, I quickly filled the SSPN form and rushed back home to fill in the form. Then rushed to the CIMB bank. Opened up account with much difficulties, and suddenly the PTPTN guy from college called and said HE FORGOT TO PHOTOCOPY MY IC. Wtf. So I’d have to redo the SSPN account again… turned out that CIMB bank branch could not accept the individual SSPN… so then I rushed to Bank Rakyat. Luckily they accepted it.. then rushed to find stamp but no luck. Photocopied other documents, sent mom home and rushed to the college in hope to submit the form before 3 pm. I was relieved I had it all done… mind you I was already an hour late for class.

GUESS WHAT?

He checked my document, and turned out I’d need commissioner for oaths letter. WHAT THE FUCKING HELL? All that troubles for nothing??? Why the fuck didn’t he tell me earlier? And no he DID NOT admit his mistake, he did NOT apologize. So I couldn’t submit on that day.. and I swear he told me the due date was the 28th but yesterday I checked, it was due yesterday. Fuck.

So while all other applicants crowding the counter, I filled in the rest of the form and tried to submit. Guess what? My IC is supposed to be photocopied in A4 size. 2 weeks ago, I asked him to check all the documents to see if I need to add or change… he said NO. Now the IC is wrong.. I told him he didn’t tell and he got all pissy and said “DON’T GIVE EXCUSE. ADMIT YOU’RE WRONG“. Arse. I’ve been told I don’t admit my mistakes, I accepted that and am trying to change but I WILL NOT admit things that I know for the fact that I am right! And that guy clearly did NOT tell me earlier when I asked him to check, and he said everything is ok, just the letter left, and I have to admit my mistake?? Is that my mistake?? FUCK THAT.

After all the bla bla bla problems … he asked me what year I am.. I said I dunno.. I’m from July intake.. he said UH OH…….. and I was like OH SHIT WHAT NOW?…….. then he remembered my name and was again almost pissy said “OH WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME WHO YOU ARE! GEEZ!!!”

O.o;;;

Uh……….. what. the. fuck??

Am I supposed to scream my name?

My fucking name is written on the form which he checked. He even photocopied my IC TWICE! How the fuck was I supposed to know he didn’t recognize my face when I thought he did??? He could have seen my name so many time yet he got all pissy at me???

Fuck that ok. PTPTN management was the worse in my college. Not only was he rude to me (the way he acted), he was not that efficient.

That was my PTPTN journey to hell. It has not been fun.
