The Student Loan Fund (SLF) should stop its fierce pursuit of those who cannot repay their debts in time.
Taken into account alongside the Covid-19 pandemic and the worst economic recession in decades, surely it would be better if the fund urgently sought ways to help jobless, debt-ridden graduates get back on their feet.
The House of Representatives is updating the Student Loan Fund Act to improve its services and efficiency. One hopes any amendment will make students' best interest the fund's priority, not the continuation of punitive measures, inflexible rules and organisational rigidity -- all of which stem from its persistent prejudice against the defaulters as being unethical and financially irresponsible.
