Police were tracking 525 people who allegedly bought fake degrees and certificates from the international universities that never existed. Selangor police chief Deputy Commissioner Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said the police would like to question those 525 people for their investigations. He told a press conference at Selangor police headquarters that the association, which has been active since 2003, has sold up to RM5million worth of fake certificates and degrees.
Police have arrested a 37-year-old man, who was believed to be the mastermind, and a woman, 36, following a recent report in Malay daily exposing the syndicate. DCP Tun Hisan said that investigations have showed that the syndicate was being managed by a pair. It was believed that the wife of the mastermind was a lecturer at a local university.
Police raided the syndicate’s office at Jalan USJ 10/1A in Subang Jaya on Wednesday as he said that following the news report and information from the Higher Education Ministry. He said, “We managed to seize lists of the bogus certificate recipients, application forms and various other documents.”
Police also said checks discovered that the universities in the United States and Britain were non-existent. When the names of the foreign universities were written into the search bar on the Malaysian Qualifications Agency website, they failed to get any result. The syndicates stated that these certificates were issued by a private institution of higher learning said to be affiliated with five universities identified as University of Rock-hampton and Harvey International University in the US.
Is it a crime to BUY a fake certificate ? Fake jewellery ? Fake medicine ? Fake toys ? Fake PRADA , LV, GUCCI, et al ?
I would believe that it will be a crime if someone SELLS fake goods and claims that it is the REAL thing. As for fake degrees, serve those companies that employ such holders right for not taking the time to authenticate them.
Thousands of government officers with first degrees from Malaysian’s universities, to do Masters and PHD’s all over the world in the 60 ties,70 ties, eighties …………… till today to fill up aperthecomment_ID vacancies. Please prove us wrong. So fake degrees is the making of the present government!
