Janan Loh Does "actively moderating" = deleting the hard/embarrassing questions?

IDA Singapore Hi Janan Loh,we generally do not remove comments. As mentioned in the "About" tab on our FB page, we do not discriminate against any view but we reserve the right to remove comments that contain vulgarities, are personal attacks against individuals or are deemed inappropriate, out of respect for users of our page. It can be a tough call at times.

Terence Helikaon Nunis When someone puts a qualification on her resume, as in this case, that was never earned, the intent is solely to lie, to deceive, to defraud. No one puts these things there for decoration. It is a question of a lack of integrity and moral ambiguity. That the IDA sees fit to defend such an action calls the judgment of their management into question as well.

JS Samsudin ICA should also explain if the decision to award her citizenship included her "MBA ". I'm assuming ICA will say no. But when applying for citizenship , if the MBA was included, would this be false information and liable for revoking of citizenship ?

Kevin Chung In law, Fraud is deliberate deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain. A fraud was committed, what's there to "continuing to look into the case..."

Shiwen Yap IDA Singapore - whoever is managing the Facebook is in an extremely difficult position. I don't envy you guys. But do remember that any responses will have political overtones because its election year. In addition, you have a bunch of journalists following your site from around the world. Good luck managing this lovely little issue.

Ezra Kurniawan Nisha, please remain strong and calm. Regardless the outcome I am sure you have done your best for IDA. If you have no where else to go, Mr Teh Tarik at Tampines is currently hiring. They are always looking for grads from Mumbai to flip pratas. Take care Nisha. All the best.

Stacy Teo Maybe some at IDA may not know what a degree mill is. So here it is:
A degree mill is an unaccredited higher education institution that offers illegitimate academic degrees for a fee.

Mike Tan There are so many IT grads from the polytechnic looking for jobs, why hire someone from uni of mumbai? I believe a poly grad pay would be lower as well. To add, uni of mumbai is not a top notch uni by any standard n Southern Pacific uni is far worse.
