  "summary": "The eligibility for PTPTN loan repayment deferment will be determined based on income information verified with the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN), according to PTPTN Chairman Datuk Seri Norliza Abdul Rahim. Borrowers earning up to RM2,500 per month are eligible for deferment, while those earning between RM2,501 and RM3,000 per month must make a minimum payment of RM50. This measure is part of the government's initiative to align loan repayment obligations with borrowers' financial capabilities and is expected to benefit over 400,000 borrowers nationwide when implemented next year.",
