PS Jeyaraj, 24, completed his two-and-a-half-year diploma in biomedical science in 2014.
Today, he works part-time at a customer service centre, a job which he applied using his Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) certificate.
He is also barred from leaving the country, being unable to repay his more than RM30,000 National Higher Education Loan Fund (PTPTN) debt.
