Worker with JMJ with questionable degree.
M.A. Wahab has a bachelor's degree from Cranston University which is a degree mill as shown here:
http://doctorhistory.blogspot.sg/200...versities.html
and here:
http://news.asiaone.com/News/Educati...26-182426.html
... Besides Cranston University, the university where he got his Masters' degree is also a degree mill. Templeton is listed as a degree mill too. Furthermore, his masters' degree was completed in just 1 year!
Here is M.A. Wahab's LinkedIn:
https://sg.linkedin.com/pub/m-a-wahab/2/b3b/742
I wonder if such people are aware that their degree is being awarded by a degree mill? And this guy is supposed to be a Professional Transformational Coach & HSE Practitioner working at JMJ Associates.
Why doesn't anyone do a check on the degrees applicants list on their CVs? Not even a google search when they encounter an unfamiliar university?

Engineer working at Carl Zeiss with Southern Pacific University degree.
This is Lee Keng Yew who is currently working as a Senior Service Engineer at Carls Zeiss Singapore. He is a Malaysian FT from Penang and he has been working in Singapore for 10 years now.
As we all know, Southern Pacific University is a degree mill that will give degrees to you as long as you pay for it. Carls Zeiss has said that they will be looking into this case.

This Malaysian, David Wong has his diploma, degree and MBA all from a degree mill yet managed to successfully get a job in Singapore! He has no reliable qualifications but got rewarded with a job. Is this meritocracy?
Dubin Metropolitan University is a degree mill and even his own homeland of Malaysia has reported this:

This India FT has a degree from Karnataka State Open University (KSOU), a distance learning university that has received a lot of bad publicity. And she's working in the HR department, can you believe it? Will she be hiring fellow foreigners with dubious degrees instead of qualified Singaporeans?
Located in the state of Mysore, India, KSOU is a distance learning open university. Founded in 1996, it offers distance or online degree programmes targeted at "working professional...s" who cannot attend full-time or part-time educational courses offered by universities.
In other words, KSOU is a notch below full-time universities in India including the now-famous Mumbai University which IDA employee Nisha Padmanabhan from India attended.
Apart from its low ranking, KSOU is also fraught with problems. In the past years, it has appeared in the news for the wrong reasons.
1. Degrees for Sale
It was subject of an investigative report on how some universities franchised out their degree programmes without controlling the franchisees who then offered these degrees for sale:

2. Mass cheating at exams
In 2013, it was implicated in a case of mass cheating and copying at exams held for its programmes at exam centres outside its home state:
http://m.indiatoday.in/story/mass-co.../1/285577.html
3. Financial irregularities and corruption
More recently in Dec 2014, The Hindu reported that the Governor of Karnataka had ordered an inquiry into allegations of financial irregularities, and corruption in appointments to key posts at the University.

KSOU appears to be the university of choice for many PMETs from India working in Singapore.

Ramses Butarbutar, an Indonesian working in SG has a degree from Preston University, a degree mill operating out of Pakistan.
Here are the reasons why Preston University is a degree mill.
Firstly, Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston...(United_States) states this:
... "Preston University is a private for-profit unaccredited institution that offers a variety of academic degree programs bydistance learning. Preston was originally based in Wyoming and in 2007 was based in Alabama. As of 2012, Preston identified Los Angeles, California as its base of operations.[1][2][3]
Preston University is owned by Abdul Basit, who lives in Pakistan.[4]
About 30 affiliated campuses throughout the world were listed by Preston.[5] A number of degree programs ranging from associate to Ph.D. in a variety of disciplines were offered.[6] As of August 2012, the Oregon Office of Degree Authorizationreported that the university was operated from Pakistan, had formerly operated in Wyoming and Alabama in the United States, had recently started "selling degrees from" the U.S. state of California, had been active in Nepal in 2009, also had a presence in Dubai, and used several different institutional names in several world regions"
Next, if we dig a bit further, there was a Straits Times article which listed Preston University among others as a degree mill. The Straits Times refused to back down when Preston University objected to being labelled as a degree mill. (Source: http://news.asiaone.com/News/Educati...906-86167.html). Preston is also on a list of universities listed as degree mills: https://peoplecheck.co.kr:442/resources/down/list01.pdf. Malaysia's news website also reported that it was a degree mill (http://www.thestar.com.my/story/?fil...ocus%2F4575051).
Lastly, even Pakistan where Preston University is based also classified Preston University as a degree mill (http://educationmalaysia.blogspot.sg...rsities-i.html).
This site refers to Preston university as a fraud university with a history of fake degrees! (http://theprestonuniversityfraud.blogspot.sg/)
When there is abundant information to show that Preston University is a degree mill, why is foreign 'talent' from such dodgy universities still being hired in Singapore?
