Malaysia Boleh! is now synonymous with the outbreak of syndicate of all sort. It gives the impression that everything in Malaysia is fake! We only have one body and it is irreplaceable, it is precious. So how can we trust it to the local doctor who academy credential is doubtful?
Life is short, shorter in Malaysia?
Forgery is not something only happen in Malaysia. When I was working in Singapore, forgery documents is a common news circulating within the construction industry. Induce by the good pay, foreign workers from Malaysia, India, and China bet their luck trying to sneak into the country for Sing Dollars. But what I notice is that Singapore government don't hide it, instead, BCA (Building Construction Authority, Singapore) circulate those incidents and how to identify the fake from the genuine one.
However, the case in Malaysia is more tricky since it involves internal people. Grandmaster-level type of forgery. thus the forgery might be seamless. The impacts for a few hundred (i.e. RM500 for SPM, RM 1700 for UKM degree Certificate) is dreadful;
1. Severely damage credential of academy qualification from Malaysia.
2. May effects granting scholarship to student graduated with Malaysia qualification.
3. Unfair for students who study hard and in a way motivate those who did poorly bribe for fake SPM& university certification.
4. Discounted trustworthiness for graduates from Malaysia.
5. Lack of job opportunity
My suggestion for the Ministry of Education is to immediately look into the matter, starting from how the examination is marked, verified, certified, published and archive. The ministry should come out with a corrective and preventive measure to ensure perpetrators face justice and no such incident repeat in the future.
Party concern, such as the employer, higher education institute, creditor, and foreign immigration, may want to have fast and easy access to verify graduate certification and be sure what verification is indeed true.
Verification may be granted by a registered entity and further with the consent letters signed by the graduate, in order for the Ministry to release information. This is to protect the private confidentiality of the graduate information.
In order to prevent any changes after a certificate is given out, national exam such as SPM should be published in PDF and statistic of each school should release. e.g. St. John's Institute for 100 students got A in English, 89 students A in Biology...Any further changes from appeal or review should be published separately. It still will not deter forgery from fabricating from within the ministry but will stop any changes after the certificates are released. I believe the problem lies in the management of the ministry.
