Take stern
action against staff using fake degrees
PETALING JAYA: Bosses are calling for stern action against staff who
secured their posts using fake degrees while professional bodies say there are
enough measures to ensure that everyone is truly qualified.
Malaysian Employers Federation executive director
Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan called for immediate action against those who bought
qualifications from fake degree mills.
“It is disturbing to learn about such news. The
government needs to act fast and nail down the culprits. They should be charged
and hopefully, those found guilty will be punished.
“Businesses should check the qualifications of their
staff properly and those found guilty must be punished.
“The punishment should not be less than a dismissal,”
he said.
According to Malaysian Academic Movement
secretary-general Rosli H. Mahat, it is unfortunate that some Malaysians
continue to look down on those without high paper qualifications, resulting in a
demand for fake degrees.
Employers, said Rosli, must do their due diligence and
conduct background checks if they suspect their employee’s qualification to be
fake.
Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah
said the Malaysian Medical Council has stringent processes to ensure that only
genuine degrees are accepted before any medical graduate could be registered as
a medical practitioner.
The Institution of Engineers said all engineers in
Malaysia are required by the Registration of Engineers Act to register with the
Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM).
