The complicated case of Ariff Alfian Rosli
This is from the Star:-
A Royal Malaysian Navy retiree in search of his son who has been missing since 2008 is now in a predicament after Petronas recently issued a summons demanding repayment of the latter's education loan, Utusan Malaysia reported. Petronas is claiming over RM890,000 from Rosli Haron, 56, for the loan taken by his son Ariff Alfian Rosli, 28, to study medicine at the University College Dublin, Ireland in 2003.
"I do not have enough money from my pension to settle the amount. Already my family is suffering from the loss of our child and now we are facing a summons, too." Rosli said Ariff had to continue a few semesters in 2008, but Petronas refused to sponsor the expenses of over 38,000 (RM160,000) a year.
He had advised Ariff to continue his studies in Malaysia, but his son was adamant to graduate in Dublin and had not made any contact since. Rosli had lodged missing persons reports with the police, Wisma Putra, and the Irish and Malaysian embassies in both countries, and had made eight trips to Dublin to look for his son.
This is a report from Anak Bukit Gantang:-
Ariff Alfian Rosli, Petronas sponsored student of University College Dublin married a guy named Jonathan.

nobody force ariff to accept the scholarship in the first place. To get a better picture , MOST scholars do well in their exams. Those who dont are usually not studying hard or else they were spending their free time on other things rather than studying. Its no too difficult to at least pass in medical school n the failure rate is not really high.
PETRONAS shouldnt be blamed for ariff's failure. For goodness sake , WHY IS IT MAJORITY OF SCHOLARS do not fail in their exam? If ariff had really want to complete his studies then his parents should hv fork out that rm 160K for him. And wat about his dublin bf? he should hv try to pay for ariff's fees for that final RM 160K.
Anyway, to mark this day for the happy couple, maybe some of your internet weirdoes should see what some of our internet weirdoes say about the topic. I'm linking a thread from Ireland's biggest online political discussion forum.
