SEMPORNA: Parti Warisan plans to cancel education loans, including PTPTN, for Sabahan students if it returns to power in the upcoming state election.

Party President Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said the initiative hinges on a restructuring of Yayasan Sabah, with the aim of offering full scholarships when funds permit.

He added that the relief would also extend to civil servants, whether still in service or retired, to ease financial burdens.
