Got an sms from my staff, asking me to give her a call. Huh? Well, what the heck. I called. Turned out she wanted to borrow some money from me to pay off her MARA study loan. GULP??!!! I can't even pay my own study loan.. how the heck am I suppose to help pay hers? I asked her to elaborate. With the sobbings from trying so hard not to cry, the story goes like this.
She took a course some time ago with MARA loan. After 'graduating' (I assume), she kinda not taking it so seriously, so now when the 'surat merah' (her words) comes, the family went beserk and started scolding her but not offering any help or advice. Can't blame them though. Don't think the family have ever been exposed to this kind of issue. The total of the loan, around RM4k++. Heck! As long as they have not sent the legal letters sueing you, I believe we can still request for whatchamacallit.. staggard payment. I think that's what it's called. So, I asked her to bring the letter/letters tomorrow and discuss what should be done.
Geez, to think i can actually help people like this, makes me feel so.... put in your own words lah.. har har...

Student loan holders are typically given a grace period of about six months after graduating from their degree programs. In the past, this may have been ample time to find a job and prepare yourself for beginning repayment, but for many graduates today, finding a first job is a time-consuming process.
