: An estimated one in 20 potential hires in Malaysia has fake qualifications while one in 10 has credentials from unaccredited institutions, a corporate fraud investigation agency found.
“Many of these people with fake degrees are applying for senior management jobs and it happens in multiple industries, including banks, clinics and hospitals,” said Akhbar, who is also Certified Fraud Examiners Association president and former president of Transparency International Malaysia.Akhbar was responding to an Al-Jazeera documentary into fake degree mills in Pakistan that revealed a list of those who allegedly bought fake qualifications, including PhDs and Masters, from Axact.
“Thousands of people are employed in safety critical jobs while holding bogus qualifications,” it reported. Among those found to have purchased a bogus PhD was Myanmar’s former planning and finance minister Kyaw Win, who admitted to buying his qualification from the fictitious online university Brooklyn Park.
“In the end, these fake degree holders have no record of their fraud and will get a job in another company. They will continue to work in the system,” said Akhbar, adding that companies had a responsibility to make a police report.
Possible 80 (out of hundreds of thousands graduates produced annually) were detected, yet 1/20 applicants are fake? The purported methodology used in such a ‘study’ is highly questionable. Ridiculous.
They have to be weeded out n only the genuine qualifications recognised.
Most of them are probably in pakatanharapan_ & refuse to vacate their fat paying seats for under performing & spoiling the image of Good Governance for change, accountability, transparency etc.
There was an old saying in Malaysia: 'Kepimpinan melalui tauladan'.
