00:00A youth NGO has dismissed Warisan's pledge to write off outstanding student loans for Sabahans

00:07if it forms the government after the state election to come, describing it as mere rhetoric.

00:13The Sabah Youth Council said even if Warisan kept its promises, the financial implications

00:18would be huge and would impact other sectors in terms of funding.

00:22Council President Abkhari Fawaz Abhikan said it would be more practical for the party to

00:27subsidize the loans by 50%, especially for the needy, adding that it would be a better

00:32use of state government funds to resolve water woes and repair the roads instead.

00:37Meanwhile, Kunak Assemblyman Nur Azlina Arif said Warisan had a tendency of making grand

00:43promises to secure political power, calling them highly unrealistic.

00:48She asked what would happen to those who have already repaid their loans or those who've

00:52borrowed from other agencies like Mara.

00:54She said the public needs to recognize that Warisan, in its bid for power, often resorts

01:00to making lofty pledges and exploiting public concerns for its advantage.

01:05Warisan President Shafi Abdel pledged to write off the loads at an event on Sabah on Saturday.

01:11He also promised free education for the people of Sabah.
