David Webb has written many articles about directors of Hong Kong listed companies with fake degrees: webb-site.com/dbpub/subject.asp

I expected the situation in Malaysia to be the same, if not worse.

My eye fell on "Tan Sris’ involved in buying fake degrees, say cops", an article in MalaysiaKini: www.freemalaysiakini2.com/

Some excerpts:

Eminent members of society, some of whom hold ‘Tan Sri’ titles, have been implicated in buying fake degrees from a syndicate recently brought down by the Selangor police commercial crimes investigation department (CCID).

“Many of those involved are those with status in society,” Selangor Chief Police Officer Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said.

Tun Hisan said those who bought the degrees “know very well” that they were purchasing fake degrees and if they used those documents to get jobs or for whatever purpose, it involved the “element of fraud”.

As to whether those who purchased the fake degrees would also be charged, the Selangor CPO said police were considering that possibility.

Some of the universities the syndicate used for the fake degrees included University of Rockhampton (USA), Harvey International University (USA), Cannington Brook University (UK) and Glastonbury University (UK).

Some of the universities “only exist in cyberspace”, while others are real institutions but with no Malaysian operations or links at all.

Tun Hisan urged parents whose children had degrees from the Jakri Education Group, or employers with staff who had the same credentials, to verify their qualifications.

I did a few Google searches with the above mentioned universities, and did indeed get quite a few hits of directors of listed Malaysian companies.

Will Bursa Malaysia or any of the listed companies take action?

low iq high qualifications
written by voxpopuli, August 25, 2012

Malaysia's discriminatory policy of denying other minority races a tertiary education is undeniably causing
a very skewed employment trend.Malays are guaranteed spots in the universities despite better qualified minorities with better grades in large quantities.This deliberate attempt to engineer a single majority race in the country with high qualifications has resulted in the Malays claiming all the plum jobs in the government as well as the private sectors.To make it worse they now have fake degrees including doctorates for the individuals holding high government and semi government posts.
Malaysia has become a nation split by individuals with low iq and high qualifications on one side while they have plenty of individuals with high iq and low qualifications (due to discrimination).
Until some form of meritocracy and acceptance of all citizens as equal sets in,we will continue to be led by
Monkeys with degrees.

when When the prom season approaches, many girls start looking for the most beautiful dresses

that fit them the best from many different places. It can be retail stores or online dress

shopping malls. Which place has the best price and quality for a buyer's convenience and

budget?
