MALAYSIAKINI reported that PERMATANG PAUH by election candidate from BN, Arif Shah Omar Shah has stopped pursuing his PhD degree after questions were raised over his academic credentials.
The big question here is if Arif still continued to pursue this bogus Phd. up till April 21, when did he stop then? Did he decide to stop because of the heat coming from Bloggers? First and foremost, how can someone with just a Diploma go on and pursue a Phd. The so-called International Distance Learning Centre of Edision University of Technology is a mailbox office: International Distance Learning Centre: 2nd Floor, 145-157, St. John Street, London EC1V, 4PY, UK. Tel:0845-8790040 If you do a google search on the above address, you will find hundreds of company using the similar mailbox address. This clearly proves that it is a Bogus University. Edision University of Technology is accredited by WORLD ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES (WAUC). The WAUC is global accreditation association founded to establish and promote global standards in higher education among colleges and universities worldwide." The "accreditor," WAUC is owned by Dr. Maxine Klein Asher. (Her own degrees are real.) She also owns American World University, which, according to this WIKI, sells degrees: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxine_Asher You can also find some "ripoff report" articles if you Google her name or WAUC. With just US$1,699 anyone can register a business entity in British Virgin Island under the name of university.Please visit www.britishvirginislands-ibc-registration.com/BVI-Fee-Schedule.html. Two things bother me about this guy Arif Shah here, one, if he knew the Phd. from Edision was bogus but yet continued to pursue it, he must be a person of the lowest level of integrity who would be willing to deceive the Rakyat (People) with his phony Phd.. If Arif Shah got into the Phd. program without checking the University's background (Remember, you have to pay a lot of money to get a Phd.), then, he must be the biggest oxymoron around. In other words, he is not fit for public office i.e. State Assemblyman or Member of Parliament. However, The Scribe has other reasons why Arif Shah should never be voted in as Permatang Pauh MP let alone be the Seberang Jaya Assemblyman for the following reasons: Read More Here
