Description[?]:
| Regarding Article 1: Students are like our nation's treasures. Giving loans to students is completely brainless. We must help poor students freely. If you feel government has no money to help poors, you can cut salaries of yours and your party MPs. It may facilitate more money to help poor students. Regarding Article 2: Government provides free education national wide. Then why we should government help privates financially? Your government doesn't like to help poor students. But, you will give subsidiary to private institutions. What does it mean? Regarding Article 3: This Hurts me. Selective Schools. Highly intelligent students only can study there. So what about the others? If all students share a same class they can get lot life lessons. And, slow learners may be benefited by those so called intelligents. |

| Message | We agree with your proposals, but we would like to comment on what you’ve said. Firstly you said that “If you feel government has no money to help poors, you can cut salaries of yours and your party MP”, our party members and MP’s salaries are completely compliant to law you introduced. Our MP’s are paid the same as your MP’s, and our party members income is in no way affiliated with the government, so changing their salaries would have no impact on the treasury. Moreover, there is no reason why shouldn’t be able to pay for the loans, as (if you took the time to look before making ridiculous comments) our nation is in a surplus. Secondly, you made the claim that “[our] government doesn't like to help poor students“, to which I must laugh at. Our government has a robust welfare system in place, including UBI and high subsidies for low income families. I strongly suggest the PDP look into our country, as they don’t seem to know what they’re doing. |
