Kuala Lumpur: Student Manarina Hasya Muhamad Karim, 22, who died in an accident involving two buses inside the campus last month will have her outstanding loan of RM12,629.82 with the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) settled.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, PTPTN in a statement informed that the late Manarina’s loan, which she had obtained to pursue her Bachelor’s degree, was settled through PTPTN’s Education Loan Group Takaful Protection Scheme. The statement highlighted PTPTN’s visit to the next of kin of the victim under the Program Ziarah PTPTN Prihatin, following the tragic incident at the bus stop near Jalan Persiaran Perdana, UUM.

The visit and handover of corporate social responsibility (CSR) contributions took place at the residence of Manarina’s family in Felda Chemplak, Labis, Johor, and was officiated by PTPTN Senior General Manager, Corporate Communications and Marketing Department Zawiah Wan Abu Bakar, representing the PTPTN Chairman and Management. PTPTN Johor State Office Branch Manager Rafidah Sidek was also present.

PTPTN stated that the family will receive a death khairat of RM1,500, along with a CSR contribution of RM2,000 cash and a food basket. The statement expressed PTPTN’s commitment to CSR programs and borrower welfare, extending sympathy to Manarina’s family and hoping that the benefits from the Takaful Protection Scheme would offer some relief during this difficult time.

Group takaful coverage is designed to protect the loan amount issued by PTPTN, providing 24-hour worldwide coverage in cases of death or permanent disability. For borrowers who have died or suffered a disability, their next of kin must file a claim by completing the Takaful Claim Application Form, available on the official portal www.ptptn.gov.my. The completed form and required documents should be submitted to the nearest PTPTN State/Branch Office or mailed to PTPTN Headquarters, PTPTN Tower, Kuala Lumpur.
