wayang only.

What about MPs who used Dr title as if they earn it when it was just honorary doctorate.

An honorary degree[1] or a degree honoris causa (Latin: "for the sake of the honor") is an academic degree for which a university (or other degree-awarding institution) has waived the usual requirements, such as matriculation, residence, study and the passing of examinations. The degree is typically a doctorate or, less commonly, a master's degree, and may be awarded to someone who has no prior connection with the academic institution.[2]

The degree is often conferred as a way of honouring a distinguished visitor's contributions to a specific field or to society in general.[3] It is often given to graduation speakers at a university or college, and the university may derive benefits by association with the person in question. The degree is not recognized by employers as having the same stature as a corresponding earned doctorate degree and should not be represented as such.

It is sometimes recommended that such degrees be listed in one's CV as an award and not in their education section.[4] With regard to the use of this honorific, the policies of institutions of higher education generally ask that recipients "refrain from adopting the misleading title"[5] and that a recipient of an honorary doctorate's use of the title "Dr" before their name should be restricted to engagement with the institution of higher education in question and not within the broader community.[

Singapore toughens stand on foreigners holding fake degrees
Press Trust of India | Singapore May 12, 2015 Last Updated at 08:32 IST

Taking a tough stand against forged degree certificates submitted by foreigners in applications for employment, permanent resident status and citizenships, Singapore has said those found lying would be "dealt with firmly".

Two ministers of the city state have warned that applicants lying about their educational qualification would be "dealt with firmly", The Straits Times reported today.

Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say told the parliament that to detect forged qualifications, his ministry is conducting internal database checks, as well as external checks through third-party screening agencies and direct verifications with the issuing institutions.

Meanwhile, Second Minister for Home Affairs and Foreign Affairs Masagos Zulkifli said citizenships and permanent residency status would be revoked in the case of fake degree submitted to support earlier applications.

Those found to have submitted forged documents or lied to obtain employment passes would be banned from working in Singapore and would face a fine up to SGD 20,000 (USD 14941) or jail term of up to two years, according to media reports.

This comes after claims of new citizens and permanent residents obtaining fake degrees circulated on forums, social media and alternative news sites last month.

Lim has also stressed that employers have a primary responsibility to ensure the authenticity and quality of the academic qualifications of the foreigners they wish to hire.

He said that his ministry also completely disregards qualifications obtained from unaccredited institutions, also known as "degree mills".

Applicants with such degrees "will have to meet more stringent criteria in terms of experience and salary" to qualify of work passes in Singapore.

However, both the ministers stressed that academic qualifications are not the "sole determining factors" in granting citizenship, permanent resident status, or work passes.

An estimated 40 per cent of Singapore's 5.4 million population are foreigners.


2 out of 5 people her are foreigners... and that statistic presumably excludes the 'new converts'.

So much for the 'strong Singaporean core' in the Population White Paper. :kma:

Yes you are right, foreigners make up 2 out of every 5 people in Singapore, no mention is made of the gradual bump in Singapore citizens from 2.7m to 3.3m in spite of ever declining birth rates.

laksaboy:

I'm sure by now most of us understand the "strong Singaporean core" to mean FamiLEE, their inner circle and again some civil serpents such as the head civil serpent.

Did the Population White Paper give a specific number that makes up the "strong Singaporean core"? NO. A figure of 100 to include FamiLEE, their inner circle and some civil serpents can form the so-called "strong core".

You guys are too xenophobic. If we insist that every foreigner must be a graduate from NUS, NTU, Oxbridge, Ivy League US college, then most of our news sinkie bros and sis have to leave. We need to accept degrees from Manila and Mumbai, so that our new citizens can find good PMET jobs, settle down here as PMETs and integrate into our society. You selfish bastards can't see the big picture because you are too selfish!

Dear john, would you send your children to study in Mumbai or Manila since you say it is acceptable. It is much cheaper and since the standard of living is also much lower, it will mean cheaper cost in terms of tuition fees and boarding. Forget about the smu, but or nus, might as well close down the local unis.

I am sure armed with a degree from Mumbai u or Manila u, they will be very well received here and find good jobs here too in the public and private sector.

You traitor! Sinkapore is not responsible for providing jobs to the PATANs. And most of them are not citizens!
Sinkees are too nice. Many of the PATANs would have lynched and eat up if similar situation in India or China.

JohnTan should be sent to India to be made into curry to serve the Indians that he loves.

PAP said they would deal with fake degree, not degrees from degree mills.

Degree from degree mills are considered genunine even though there is little or no course work. Life experience is the main determinant of eligibility.

Sinkapore will still welcome tens of thousands of foreign fakes.
