Happy New Year 2013 to everyone.........

Your humble blogger wished you a happy new year 2013! He wishes to waste less time on this blog.

Unless a shameless slut suddenly gets a hormone surge in his body to shout "Long live my stinky illegal trespasser sugar-daddies whose smelly man meat I crave to suck" or make such a sick $$ begging, attention seeking publicity stunt, your blogger will resign to his TantricYoga sessions - for the world peace. Your humble blogger believes keeping a harem and making love to girls and women of all races and religions can bring peace to humanity.

You need to fake a PhD when you aim for a peasant media!

Your humble blogger has been busy with teaching and tutoring load, administrative duties, endless meetings and editing crappy open-access journals where any fool can publish if they can pay $$s.

To keep his job, he edits some books from cash starving university presses where one can publish if he can spare $$s! When he is a bit free, when he turned to Burmese media and social news outlets, he found it is disturbing to see most Burmese peasants (call them laymen?) don't understand where PhD doctors write and show case their scholarly works. Since fake PhD Burmese writes in popular blogs like Irrawaddy, DVB, etc.. Burmese assume that they are legitimate show-casing research outlets where PhD doctors should write to publicize their works.

Your blogger needs to explain you the golden rule of true research doctorates aka PhDs. For example, in your blogger's research field, there are less than a dozen professors in the whole world who could understand and appreciate his scholastic works. And he'd be happy if only ten of them like his work, peer-reviewed referred papers, then he is happy. Sorry to say this out aloud, but he doesn't give a damn what peasants think of his work. Therefore, he will not waste time to see his work in blogs like  Irrawaddy as Irrawaddy audience are peasants.

Sorry to hurt your ego if you were one of those peasants! But this is how the academia and academics work. We only want like-minded peers, i.e. professors and fellow researchers to read and digest our works. Truth hurts but this is how worker bees in Ivory towers prefer. It explains how researchers and professors in university campuses work, we want to see our work in high impact referred journals and not in shoddily edited university presses or popular media outlets.

Having said that, there are fake and real PhDs who crave for media, who love interviews, who want to become peasant media sluts, who act like media buffoons and celebrity morons leveraging their PhDs. That pathetic phenomenon is not only confined to Burma and it is wide spread - see below.  The sad part is that when you do not have brains to earn a PhD and you want to talk to media to let them publish your idiotic rants like "Long live my sugar-daddies with long and thick and yet smelly manhoods which I crave" then you need to fake a PhD!

Former Vice Chancellor in fake Ph.D. degree controversy

Vice Chancellor (VC) is the guy or girl who can shit on heads of deans in a lot of universities.
And you cannot get that post without a PhD degree unless you are in a medical or law school.

Plagiarising PhD dissertation is as bad as faking!

Thinking Aloud: Plagiarism? What? — Razi Azmi

'The political career of German Defence Minister Karl-Theodor Guttenberg, who was regarded as a potential future Chancellor, is in tatters. He felt compelled to resign ‘from all political offices’ after it was established that he had plagiarised his PhD thesis. As for any academic future, Guttenberg has been served a death sentence, after the University of Bayreuth decided to strip him of his PhD degree.'

When the blog gets audience, the blogger gets famous!

Your blogger has just came back from strings of overseas trips for he has to lecture at the executive programs of 2 universities: one in Pacific and another in Atlantic coastlines. In addition, he also consults some private and public organizations. In other words, he is trying to inform on-line friends and foes that he does not have to suck the balls to get a job. He does not fly First Class, still flies in the cattle class (economy class) but he still does not need to go to budget airlines. That means to travel, to stay in hotel, to get serve a meal at hotel, he does not have to swallow after tiresome 24x7 sucking, writing crappy pieces in some blogs. And he gets invitations from leading professors of conferences, seminars, and symposiums, he prepares and presents keynotes in addition to preparing manuscripts for leading peer-reviewed journals. He is not that successful yet but he does not need sucking nor swallowing to make a living. Now this blog is giving him more invitations from overseas conferences as this blog gets famous. The below is the breakdown visitors last week:

United States            71
Myanmar [Burma]    59
Malaysia                   56
Russia                       52
Australia                   37
Spain                         33
United Kingdom       28
Brunei                       27
Sri Lanka                  19
Thailand                   16

To be brutally honest with readers, he was surprised to see traffic from Spain, Brunei, and Sri Lanka. What is going on? Why people in Saudi Arabia (it was in top 10), Spain, Sri Lanka interested in this blog? Why is Brunei always showing up in top 10?

And he also got an invitation from International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies which is in the Kuala Lumpur, that capital of Malaysia. They must be among the visitors from Malaysia; counted 56 hits in last week. Your humble blogger has no choice but to decline the email invitation from (Mister or Doctor?) Mohd Nuruddin<mohdnuruddin@iais.org.my>. This blog is set up and maintained for academic integrity and higher education of Burma. But the blogger is proud to show the invitation as follows:

'Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh and Greetings of Peace,

An interesting list of the country of origin of blog visitors!

Your blogger is on the road as he has to make a living! Dead time at the airports and on the planes are the best time to fiddle his humble blog. This time, he is curious with the new blogger interface and so he has a glance at the source countries, where the his readers, audiences live. The following list is the name of the top 10 countries of the traffic source, where visitors of this blog last week are:

Malaysia                 49



Myanmar [Burma]    40
United States           36

Sexually abused boys will turn out to be PhD fakers!!!

Warning! Fakers and forgers will get arrested while those plagiarized will lose PhDs if they were exposed! But it is a pity as those sexually abused children today may turn out to be fake PhDs! See the article below:

Yes, I got a fake PhD certificate made: Meekin
February 3, 2012,  DC, Bengaluru

'Paul Meekin, the former headmaster of Trio World School, who was arrested on Wednesday night on charges of submitting fake doctorate documents to the management, told the police: I have been a victim of sexual abuse (sodomized or taken from behind by another male, penetrated between the bottom cheeks by the abuser) in my childhood. My parents abandoned me at a very young age and I was in the custody of an orphanage in England. I was sexually abused during my stay at the orphanage. And, this is where I started consuming alcohol at the age of 12. I have been addicted to it ever since.'

Sometimes smart young people make mistakes too!

An on-line friend of mine, an Arakanese who descended from the long line of Rakhines who have fought and paid their dues for Burma asked me why Dr. Nyein Chan, who earned PhD from UCL
at a young age of 26 made the YouTube video aimed Daw Aung San Su Kyi, our leader!

He lamented why Dr. Nyein Chan, has done that, made the Myanmar Express guy (from Canada)
happy and made us confused. So even your humble blogger is busy, he has asked Dr. Nyein Chan
why has he made Zar Ni's patron (sponsor) or client (sucker)  MBBS physcian Doctor - he is a physician so he is addressed as a dr. for courtesy - Ko Ko Gyi (who graduated from the University
of Medicine 2, Myanmar yet he is trying to bite our hands those educated him) delighted!

But Dr. Nyein Chan is a nice guy, he may be young but mature enough to confess when he did something wrong. His reply as follows in his own words:

"Thanks for forwarding this information and your advice. This time I made an error in my judgement. After all, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is a fellow citizen and I agree that she has done so much to restore democracy in our country. I was very upset with her attitude towards current Rakhine issue. In any case, I agree that I should not direct my attacks to her. I feel and believe that we, Myanmars, should be united especially at this time when we are facing foreign invasion and international pressure. I will behave next time. Meanwhile, apologies to you if you were offended by my video."

I think it is part of maturing process, young and smart people take from intelligent and educated to become wise. I hope this blog post will make both my friend and Dr. Nyein Chan happy. We all make mistakes! Don't we?

Zarni could not make noise in Channel News Asia debate

Dr. Nyein Chan, a brother-in-arms informed your humble blogger below:

'U Maung Zarni skipped recent debate organized by Channel News Asia. It was [supposed to be held] about 2 weeks ago. The reason he skipped [according to sources in Singapore] was because he [ZN] has been under considerable degree of stress' for being investigated by 'LSE and UW Madison and also out of fear that people would question his academic credentials (PhD?).'

Your humble blogger cannot confirm nor deny this but he thinks lesser noise he can make, the better for others to have genuine dialogue. In that sense, this blog is still serving the founding purpose. 

Wednesday 3 October 2012

Zarni is now now under investigation. Tip only Burmese!

According to Dr. Nyein Chan, Zarni is now under investigation from LSE where he is a visiting fellow and UW-Madison where he claims to have earned PhD. Please see Dr. Nyein Chan's claims:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiNKhyNfgQU&feature=plcp

For those who have been tipping me fakers from foreign countries, I do not have time for your love-hate affairs. Please tip me only if and only if:
- a faker is a Burmese, or a Burmese origin who is embarrassing us
- a non-Burmese who is messing in Burmese affairs messing us
- a non-Burmese, nothing to do with Burmese but he is exposed by investigative journalists and fellow academia

The reason is simple. I don't have time for exposing all fake PhDs. There are thousands of them, half of some parliaments or cabinets. Exposing them is not my mission. My mission is to serve Burma, my country from a distance. I have made enough enemies and I am not proud of it. I have tonnes of things to do, my employer may not be happy to see me wasting time blogging while should be teaching, publishing and taking power naps in meetings. I prefer to use my time for chasing skirts, handsome boys are welcome too, rather than wasting time in exposing fakers around the world. My mission is simple, it is just for my country, Bamar Pyi. Please stop sending the name of people you dont like or hate to me. I will not waste time for you or your foes. I hope I have made it clear by now.

Habib Siddiqui, a Chittagonian Kalar, is the mother of ...

Today I saw one of my hall of shame visiting residents is busy. He has been in this hall of shame his faked Burmese-ness while he sided with Bangladesh in the maritime dispute of Burma vs. Bangladesh while he also try to grab a leadership position in a separatist movement in the fringes of Burma. He is Dr. Habib Siddiqui, a Chittagonian, a Bangladeshi expatriate in USA, has been busy working hard for his half-brothers and step-sisters!

See this news, that made me promoted him to full membership in this hall of shame as with his fabrication of facts he earned his elite position here.

Letter to the U.S. Senators and Congressmen on Suu Kyi's visit to the USA
http://www.asiantribune.com/news/2012/09/19/letter-us-senators-and-congressmen-suu-kyis-visit-usa

So I am sharing my findings on him, that bastard is a faker, falsifier, forger and the mother of fabricators (who knows English language well will smile now as everyone know mother of xxx in English means mother f..ker of xx)

http://burmesewithfakephds.blogspot.com/2011/12/drhabib-siddiqui-not-sure-fake-but-he.html

I will reproduce for your convenience:

'A web commentor suggested to find out about Dr. Aye Chan's Ph.D. While I have no doubts that our revered Rakhine history scholar Sara U Aye Chan holds a PhD. Yes Dr. Aye Chan is not a faker but I found a faker, who fakes as Burmese but who really is a loyal Bangladeshi whose blog below:

http://drhabibsiddiqui.blogspot.com/

An old message in Yahoo group gives 'a brief Bio-data of Dr.Habib Siddiqui (Ph.D)', introduced by 'Mohamad Yusof MM (aka)Maung Sein, Chief Coordinator, MORUG Coordinating Council, USA(HQ), MORGU means MOVEMENT OF GREATER ROHINGYA UNITY (MORUG) USA-(HQ),NEW YORK CITY as follows:

'I would like to post a brief Bio-data of our most respected brother Dr.Habib Siddiqui(Ph.D) who has kindly accepted our invitation to bean active part of MORUG-ICRBR activities and the conference.

Academic Background:

Dr. Habib Siddiqui is an alumnus of the prestigious University of Southern California, Los Angeles, where he earned his Ph.D. He is[the] author of several research papers.'
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/APUF/message/1269

However, see his comments below in the eBangladesh web site:

'What any concerned Bangladeshi or an [Bangladeshi] expatriate can do is to compare the above PSC with those made by other such authorizing companies (e.g., Petronus) elsewhere and disclose any flaws or gaping holes in ours to better redress such issues. In this age of information highway, the In ternet allows us to compare such matters rather quickly.

Bottom line: as I have pointed out in my interview with the Energy & Power recently, Bangladesh cannot afford to be oblivious of its natural resources that are already pirated and robbed by foreign countries like India and <sic> Burma <sic>. Inaction on exploration does a greater harm than even a flawed agreement, if any. Because by the time we develop our own skills to either extract on our own or reach a 100% consensus, all that is ours may already have been stolen by our neighbors. Mind that
many reservoirs are trans-national and interconnected. So, even if we were not to drill on our sides, a neighbor can suck ours from its side because of the nature of the reservoir.

(Dr. Siddiqui has a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, and his PhD thesis involved the subject of enhanced oil recovery in disordered porous media.)'

http://www.ebangladesh.com/2009/09/23/offshore-drilling-%E2%80%93-unnecessary-controversy/

Now you know who he is. He is against our interests and worry for others. But what is interesting is that he inherited and lost his paternal properties to

- I wonder how come his ancestors owned about 90 crores (900 Million Bangladesh Takas, that is about 120 million US Dollars) - land-grabbers bossed by a politician (according to Shabbir Ahmed, Dr. Habib Siddiqui did not even mention the name of the politician) and that inherited realestate is in Chittagong. The article below reveals some other interesting characters of "Dr. Habib Siddiqui" who tried to encourage Bangladesh to act tough towards Burma (see the link above). From that article:

'In fact, he wrote voluminous articles to counter the criticism of the liberal-freethinking writers against the fundamentalist goons of BNP and Jamaat-I-Islami.... But the killing of a Hindu priest was "a big fuss" to Mr. Siddique as he wrote.... He also tried to divert the attention of the conscious people by finger-pointing many other incidences against Muslims in other parts of the world especially in India.'

Incongruity in Habib Siddiqui is a cause for concern,
By Shabbir Ahmed,
Published on April 02, 2006,
http://www.mukto-mona.com/Articles/shabbir/habib_land_grab.htm

So while this Dr. Habib Siddiqui is unlikely to be a Burmese, he is more likely to be a Chittagonian from Bangladesh, since he incited aggression towards beloved "Myanma Pyi". I am exposing him in
"Hall of Shame" together with some Burmese fake PhDs.

Moe Thee's testimony for intellectual capacity of Zar Ni?

Your blogger has been sick and traveling to places where Internet
access is quite rare and unreliable. However, it does not escape his
attention that Moe Thee Zun, another faker (in his case, he fakes as
a patriot) rushed to rescue Maung Zarni from the gutter. Normally
I will not waste my time on Moe Thee but since he is messing up
with me I have no choice but to return favor. This must be one of
the jokes of the century.

First, I thought of not replying any as I don't want to waste time.
My reason is that Moe Thee is not qualified to discuss this as he
has not earned or faked a PhD. Moe Thee never has written any
thesis in his life, he might have done some class assignments but
it was likely that he sought help from his buddies. I could have
stopped here but my dislike for him is pushing me to write more.
So be it, he asked for it and now he will get it.

Moe Thee is a low-class bum who is lower than fakers in pecking
order. Apart from Zarni, some of the hall of shame residents here
are achievers and they were fooled by some con-men so they paid
for degrees. But they are achievers by any standard. Even Zar Ni,
who cannot prove us that he has written a PhD thesis managed to
publish in some low ranked journals such as edited books. Editted
ones are not really peer review. For example, a professor got quick
cash to burn and he can talk to some university press for a book,
which he will serve as editor. So let's say if your specialty is "South
East Asian Studies", you can ask a chapter from anyone who can
write English, who can pass as an expert so that you can do a favour
yourself a book while contributors can boast of publication. But it is
not really peer-review, gold standard of academia.  So Moe Thee is
no where the status of any of this hall of shame residents in this blog.

Moe Thee is just a fool, anyone who was fooled by him, once close
to him know all about him. How about those who are still with him?
There is a cliche "Birds of the same feather fly together." But what
a surprise, I did not know Moe Thee can write such fluidly although
it is still grammatically incorrect and also contextually inappropriate.
I suspect someone might have written for Moe Thee for him to post
on his blog. Let it be! Who cares those intellectually impotent guys.
Yet your humble blogger was surprised that they accused Ace Boy
is a Dr. Aye Chan. No he is not! Ace Boy is more likely to be "Phyo
Win Latt", Zarni's fan. However, this is just an intellectual conjecture!

Get your (fake) PhD in 1 minute or 30 seconds

It is easy to generate a certificate as writing a thesis
is challenging. Earn yourself or give yourself a PhD
certificate in 30 seconds if you can type in and click
mouse very fast :). Help yourself see below:

http://www.pixdox.com/magicmill/creatediploma.html

Can I have a better suggestion? Try to find a university
town where a well regarded university is there. Sweep
floors, play table tennis at student union, coach beach
volley ball, tell girls that you love green peace (they
swallow it) and you save trees. Participate in any/every
thing that will make people think that you are a student.

Make friends with some white guys and girls to pose
with them in pictures on social networks like Facebook
and twit often. Stay like that, take some classes if you
can afford to pay some tuition fees, do like that at least
5/6 years and then when the graduation time arrives,
don't panic. You just arrange a graduation gown, take
a picture of yourself in it and take photos in ceremony.
Visit this site or pay more $$ to get yourself a better,
more authentically looking certificate.

Finally, just write anything, "he told me that Dr. Pooh
is important and he transformed Birmese education",
"she said that, they did this, they did that, that is it."
That is it. Fake a thesis and you are almost done!

Next, download and install the MS Word/LaTeX to
your PC, convert above file into a PDF and post it to
some of your fans' web site. Pyinnya.com is there.
Don't forget to add a Wikipedia article and make sure
you edit before someone exposes your dirty secret.

Make sure you print out the fake thesis, don't spiral
bind it, don't be a cheap bastard, but invest it nicely,
as your thesis is only worth of the hard binding fees
you paid. Claim that it is not there to protect some
poor souls inside your old home country. Icy cool?
Now you learn it. Call yourself Dr. Maung Charlie.

Perhaps I can earn a real PhD by writing a PhD thesis
about fakers.

Faker Maung Zarni who forged PhD is exposed for...

This humble blogger has received accusations from
Zarni's fans that Maung Zarni is named and shamed
for his support for Rohingyars (self-styled invented
name of an ethnic race in northern Arakan, Burma).

No that is not true, he is exposed for we could not
find his thesis at his alma mater, from which he has
possibly dropped out without completing a thesis.

We have found an Adobe Acrobat file from a site,
hosted by one of his clients at Pyin Nya (education)
web site at URL http://www.pyinnya.com. But for
your humble blogger cannot be easily fooled to take
a pdf file as a thesis for it does not contain any hints
of intellectual analysis worthy of a bachelor thesis.
Hence we challenged Maung Zarni that send us his 
real PhD dissertation to convince us so that we will 
remove him from this hall of shame. And we will 
even give public apology to him for accusing him
that we have wrongly accused him.

But till now, we believe that Mr. Zarni did not earn 
a PhD as he claimed. His pdf file is crap. Any fool
can write that. If that were a PhD thesis, we think 
any of the readers here can also earn PhD from the
University of Wisconsin at a little town "Madison". 

Let us repeat this is an academic blog, this blog is
and was created to prevent fakers from messing up 
our motherland's higher education. We are not here 
for political campaign or hubris. We are honest and
we are simple folks. Send us your thesis or show us
your campus, your name will be removed. But till
now, we stick to our guns and we stand by with our
accusations.

What is a PhD dissertation and what is ProQuest UMI?

Not only this humble blogger with 2 Doctorates and 3 Masters,
why researchers such as investigative journalists also rely
on PMI Proquest. Following is the words of the researcher
from the story about Hien Tran, the California Air Resources
Board (CARB) scientist, the lead author of CARB regulation

'ProQuest UMI Dissertation Publishing has been publishing
dissertations and theses since 1938 and has published over
2 million graduate works from graduate schools around the
world'

Air board investigating whether lead scientist on diesel
regs lied about his Ph.D.
http://www.utsandiego.com/weblogs/americas-finest/2008/dec/18/breaking-news-air-board-investigating-whether-lead/


In addition to those diploma-mill paper buyers like (fake?)
Dr.Tran, if readers may remember for this blogger discussed
in his earlier posts, there are fakers who chose not to buy
a paper from a cerificate but fake the diploma of those big
named universities. In other words, if you dare to break the
criminal laws, you can buy a Harvard PhD certificate from a
forger via online. Even if you are seeing the diploma paper,
the diploma on a person's wall, it still can be a Photoshop
manipulated, a doctored image printed in colour and framed.

For reasons above, to verify whether someone has earned a PhD,
one has no choice but to look for a doctorate (that means PhD)
thesis which is supposed to be written by the suspected holder.


There is another trick in a faker's portfolio of faking tools,
that is to write something crappy, make it about 100 pages.
A doctoral thesis is the condensed compilation of 4 years work
after a 4 or 5 years first degree. That is why it is called a
thesis, a thesis of life-time pursuit for a scholar which is
supposed to widen the field of practice, the body of knowledge.

So now the question is what a real PhD thesis should look alike.
The lecturer from UCL explains what a thesis is, what it must
contain, and what it is not, what it should not contain, etc..

Is this lousy English written by the Prof. Michael Apple?

Your blogger still cannot start his day yet after seeing another comment and so he is
sharing his view now. FYI, your blogger holds a fake PhD, and he has been forging

another PhD after living close to a university town chasing skirts and occassionally
sexy boys. So when a commenter says below in that Myanmar Cupid form, he can't
stop laughing. If the email below were actually from a real professor, your humble 
blogger with fake PhD can earn PhD in English Literature. Anyone who has good 
command of English can point out grammatical and contextual errors. Go grab a 
high school English grammar text and check yourself. When you address someone, 
you follow with a comma (',') and not a column (':') and if you were a professor, you
never write such a crappy English.

To: M.H.Kaldor@lse.ac.uk

Dear Mary:

I've heard from Zarni that the unethical attacks on him have continued. Zarni completed his PhD at the University of Wisconsin, Madison under my supervision. Given the political situation in Burma at the time, the thesis was rightly not placed in the open stacks of the university library because of ethical considerations regarding the protection of anonymity. The attacks on Dr. Zarni are distressing and clearly are politically motivated.

Best wishes,
Mike

The infectious "Dr." disease of faking PhD doctorates......

We fake at one point or another, on bed, in board rooms as be ourselves
is harder than faking having orgasms, acting like overachievers, ain't it?
We all hope that our acts will get unnoticed or get away with it. So we
fake! But you may not be lucky always.......
    
Natural News uncovers epidemic of fake doctorates from diploma mills
Wednesday, June 06, 2012
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Editor of Natural News.com

While investigating our recent story on the faked academic credentials of
a key informant in the Rawesome Foods case in California, we received a
large number of tips and documents revealing something rather astonishing:
There is an epidemic of fake diplomas across America.

The diploma mill known as "Richmonds University" appears to be cited in
hundreds of online resumes from people who have attained surprisingly high
positions in society. For example, a man named Roy David Williams managed
to acquire a fake doctorate in nuclear engineering from Richmonds University,
and he went on to be awarded government contracts based on that diploma. He
was later prosecuted for fraud....

An unaccredited private university in Burma?

I am still sick, not sick of cold, fever or terminal fatal illness
but sick of Burmese who are stupid and easy to manipulate.

But your humble blogger with 2 doctorates and 3 Masters is
industrious and so he tried to caught fish. He did not get any
fake PhDs but he found something relevant, he learned about
a new (surely unaccredited) private university in Burma from
the link below. Hail the almighty merciful GOOGLE search
engines, we are enlightened now with the new knowledge that
there is a new entity it calls itself as a university. It is named
as "Garunar L' Université Orientale Royale", I think in English
that might means The Royal University of Mercy in Far East.

2 PhD dissertations vis a vis Maung Zarni's PDF file

Your blogger is not well, he is sick, sick of everything!
But he has time to search and scrutinize two real PhD
dissertations from US, UK universities and an Adobe
Acrobat file which is claimed by Maung Zarni as his
PhD dissertation.

You can say this is the "Double Entrapment Stratagem",
it is to annihilate an enemy's forces they are lured into
the trap, or a variant of the "Successive Waves" attack.

Or just an experimental design to prove/disprove a theory.
First stage is to get samples for your clean references, to
prove that PhD thesis can be found on-line and how a real
PhD dissertation can be different from a questionable one.

(I.1) Very recent UK PhD from University College London

Dynamical systems in cosmology

Chan, N (2012) Dynamical systems in cosmology.

Doctoral thesis, UCL (University College London).

URL: http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1348375/

Get that pdf file. You don't understand one bit? That is fine,
average audience of PhD dissertation is 3 people, external
thesis advisors (in the case of British Systems), the thesis
committee (in the case of North American Universities, that
is US and Canada), and Promoting professors (in the case of
Germanic universities that include doctorates in Germany,
Austria, The Netherlands and the Scandinavian Universities).
Get that PDF in hand as it will be used for our 2 stage tactic.
Now the first part of stage 1 (I.1) completed and I.2 follows:


(I.2) Time to find 15 years old PhD thesis from UW-Madison

http://search.library.wisc.edu

Search for a PhD dissertation in the field of Education,
it is about Hmong studies-Hmong people belong to a race
in South East Asian who fought for United States in Laos
and Vietnam. The title is below:

"Teaching strategies, beliefs, and behaviors of the Hmong
and general education teachers in the technical college"

Use those keywords, after a while search result came back

http://search.library.wisc.edu/catalog/ocm41274414

You can see that there exists a real PhD dissertation at
the University of Wisconsin. Now we will try to find one
more which is our popular fellow Maung Zarni. So we go
back to the search page. http://search.library.wisc.edu

We already know the title of a (fake or unexistant) PhD
dissertation (or just a pdf file) that was never written.

"Knowledge Control and Power The Politics of Education
under Burma Military Dictatorship"

Use that as keyword to find the thesis hoping it exists.

19 results came back from UW Wisconsin-Madison library
and none of them has such a thesis which Mr. Zarni claims
to have written. Do not believe yet? Then copy and paste
the whole browser request below in the navigation bar of
your browser and hit ENTER. You will get 19 books as the
result. If you can find Maung Zarni's so called thesis,
let this blogger knows.


"http://search.library.wisc.edu/catalog?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=\
Knowledge%2C+Control+and+Power+The+Politics+of+Education\
+under+Burma+Military+Dictatorship&search_field=all_fields"

The first stage of proving or disproving is done. Is enough?

(II) If not, then we want you to go and get the PDF file which
someone hopes that Burmese will swallow it as a PhD thesis.
Go to wikipedia entry below:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Yangon

Go straight to the bottom, you will see a link leading to a
pdf file which Maung Zarni claims that his PhD dissertation.
Compare it with real PhD thesises from United States and UK.
Now you may be convinced. For us we are quite sure and that
was why we asserted!

Now another faker who forged his PhD is exposed!

This faker is from Vietnam. Having enrolled in a PhD programme at the
Uppsala University does not make you an Uppsala graduate with a PhD!
Renting a room near a campus, chasing skirts for 6 years and failed to do
research and give up submitting a thesis does not justify you to put "Dr.".



Deputy Minister of Health Cao Minh Quang, with a fake doctorate degree,
gets to keep his job
http://eyedrd.org/2012/03/deputy-minister-of-health-cao-minh-quang-with-a-fake-doctorate-degree-gets-to-keep-his-job.html

Now one faker has admitted after 2 years of denying

We are waiting admission from Burmese fakers and forgers that they have not earned PhD yet.
But in China one faker admits that he has been denying for 2 years that he was faking his PhD.

'Tang Jun, the former president of Microsoft China and President and Chief of Xinhua Capital Group, is sometimes known as the "Part time Emperor". In 2010, scientific expert Fang Zhouzi broke the news that Tang Jun's academic background was actually fabricated. In April of 2011, the media reported that Tang Jun paid $3,000 USD for a fake PhD from the Pacific Western University.

Tang Jun continuously denied the accusations and even threatened to sue Fang Zhouzi. Following Fang Zhouzi's continued efforts to provide evidence relating to Tang Jun's academic background, Tang Jun became suspiciously silent on the issue. On June 19 this year, at Beijing University's Beiya Hotel, he apologised for counterfeiting his degree and warned students not to follow his example.'

After 2 Years, Tang Jun Admits to Paying for Fake PhD

Is the controller of Zarni, a fan or himself is that!!!

Since this blog has been kicked alive to expose those who are faking that
they have earned Doctorates, your humble blogger exposed more than a
dozen fake PhDs, some of them have retracted and recanted their use or
abuse of that Dr. title they faked.

This is not a political blog, its mission is solely for the academic interests.
However, we are one-issue guys and girls and our issue is Burma. Hence,
when we get our chance, yes we made enemies along blogging, pick the
low-hanging fruits, embarrassing and exposing those whom are harming,
doing bad things for Burma, our motherland. But we have decided to keep
our own integrity high. We will not wage a smear campaign unless we get
hard evidence. We never assert unless we strongly believe that inferrring
that someone has been faking that he holds a doctorate is no longer adequate.

Therefore, we make sure we expose those who either fake or forge and we
do not attack anyone who has earned doctorates even if we will never have
meals together with them for we disapprove their political standings.

But since this blog was conceived, since the first "Hall of Shame" fellows
were identified and promoted here as residential fellows to be named and
shamed, we started receiving emails from numerous accounts. They have
suggested us to scrutinize the academic credentials of Dr. Aye Chan, an
academic, a historian about Burmese history in general, Arakanese history
in particular. Being fair guys, we did look up as we have to honour our code
of practice. Our modus operandi is simple and straight forward. If we got a
tip or if we ourselves caught a fish (a faker or forger) we first check those
allegations and we decide should we say authoritatively that that guy or girl
is a faker or should we just state facts that we cannot find a PhD dissertation.

If you are a regular visitor to this humble blog, you might have noticed that
we focus more on a fake PhD - for we cannot find his thesis as he claims to
have written and submitted, check our earlier posts which we share email
exchanges with University of Wisconsin at Madison officials and libarians
of that university and the library of congress. We are not promoting that guy
but we have to state his name again and again because there is a guy who is
a regular visitor to this blog, who named himself as "Ace Boy". Now he is
waging smear campaign against another Arakanese historian, deceased Dr.
Aye Kyaw. So we are speculating that that Ace Boy must be one of Maung
Zarni's (or Mr. Maung Zarni as we do not believe that he has earned a PhD)
controllers (who are using him), or his fans (who are sucking him), perhaps
he himself. While we assume, provoking us with accusations towards our
Sayar Gyi late Dr. Aye Kyaw and Saya Dr. Aye Chan, it does not escape our
minds that that Ace Boy must be someone who hates our Rakhine Oo-Soon
Saya Gyees: Dr. Aye Kyaw and Dr. Aye Chan.

However, we would like to share our supporters that for unknown reasons,
for unknown promoters, we are receiving about 600 to 800 hits a day and
occasionally peaking above 1,000 hits a day. An accomplishment for such
an English language blog with such as sharp-narrow focus. We have more
than 25,000 hits since this blog was first established.

Thursday 21 June 2012

Now we assert Maung Zarni is just Mr. Zarni!

Your humble blogger is a very busy person, but he still
tries hard to catch up with what is going on in Burma
to where he could not go back home for years. So he
keeps track of Burmese news and make no mistakes
he knows everything.

Until the first half of this week, this blog only states
that Maung Zarni, who claims to have earned a PhD,
might not have submitted a PhD thesis with the title
he claims in his Wikipedia page. Yes, it is true that
we are implying that he is faking but it is never been
an assertion. We just give you facts, such as:

For almost all doctoral dissertations leading to the PhD
from recognised universities in the western democracies
can be found in PMI. It is because all public research
universities are funded by the tax payers' money, their
doctoral work must be shown to public so that a pipe
fitter working in ditch who pays tax and a peasant who
is working in farm who pays taxes know that their tax
Dollars or Pounds will not be wasted on something not
worthy of investigating. For philanthropy endowments
driven private universities need to raise their research
profiles and the PhD research from their universities
must be show cased. A dissertation is equal to one or
two peer-reviewed journal papers depends on stature
of the journal - who cares conferences or edited works!
Normally, you can find PhD dissertation from libraries
of the universities those host graduate schools, or from
Amazon - for the Dutch and few German PhD degrees,
all PhD dissertation are published as the ISBN indexed 
books in print format - from where you can buy, search
yourself in Amazon. Or you can get from the national
libraries such as library of congress in the United States,
or from private thesis collections such as PMI-Proquest.
We have searched, consulted with librarians and other
officials and we have posted the results of investigations.
We imply that "to our best knowledge and attempts, we
still cannot find a thesis with that name written by that
authour, we confess that we want you to infer that he,
Maung Zarni does not earn a PhD till now for he has
not submitted a PhD thesis yet.

But for those who do not know, PhD like other degree
programmes or education is not a product but a process,
it trains a candidate how to analyse facts, take a stand
and discuss from that point, defend it necessary, so if
you have earned a PhD from a well respected university
you are not seen as a stupid guy or girl although there
are lot of people who act like mental retards even they
have earned genuine PhDs. But we do not say they are
fakers, forgers or cheaters but they are diluters as they
dilute the respects for PhD degrees some holders have
earned worthily in real hard way.

Now we assert, yes we are asserting now, Maung Zarni
has not only submitted a thesis yet - for we cannot find
it; we means our combined academic credentials is about
1 PhD, 2 Doctorates (DBA, MBA, etc..) and 2 Masters.

But again, if he can send his real PhD dissertation PDF
file then we will publicly apologise but till now we think
he is not Dr. Zarni but Mr. Zarni and he may not have
gone through the PhD training or he may not possess
the right amount of brain power to go through a PhD
degree programme.

Why one should not be easily impressed by PhDs!

One of the objectives of this blog is to enlighten people so that they will
not be easily fooled, impressed or overwhelmed with awes to someone
who claim they have earned PhDs.

Not only there are not only fakers that who claim to have written a PhD
thesis, not only there are many forgers who bought PhD certificates, but
also there are a lot of degree holders who have paid ghost writers to write
their thesis. They are not fakers and forgers but as you can imagine their
PhD degrees are still not praise worthy even if their degrees are genuine.
I call them cheaters as they cheat. And it is not only in China, India but
that malpractise is infected everywhere, in UK and US. Now you know
to smile or smirk if someone claims if he has earned a PhD. Big smile!

I don't care what that fakie thinks or dreams!

Your humble blogger with 2 Doctorates and 3 Masters just received
a mail from "aceacademichelp@gmail.com" who has been claiming
he is not a Zarni's fan, but on the contrary an opposite otherwise.

I don't know who he is or she is or I do not care who they are!!
I don't care what that Maung Zarmi's dreaming - wet or dry.
All I am stating here is that I am not sure he has submitted the PhD
thesis, and  I am stating as it is, nothing more or nothing less. See:

"hey man

you consistently accused me of being [Mr.] zarni or [Maung] zarni's
fan. i say again and maintain that I am NOT. furthermore, this
misunderstanding is caused by your narrow-mindedness and lack of
knowledge about IPs and your limited ability to understand English.

however, leaving these differences behind, i want to share one
information with you. zarni may be dreaming to be the next president
of burma and he may be working towards it by seeking popularity in
public.

this idiot might think politically correct dassk would not directly
get against him. so he crosses the line by supporting some Rohingyas
who are seeking myanmar citizenship through illegal means. so some
people may even be calling him "rohingya apologist". He insults his
own Myanmar people and our motherland. check out
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/freeburma/message/17427
to see how he fucks our country and people up."

I checked the email header of that message and pasted below:

I think someone is desperate! Send me the thesis and I will remove
you from this hall of shame.

It is not personal or political to print his name here

Your humble bloggers receive some emails accusing us that we are jealous
of fake PhDs especially Maung Zar Ni and we are attacking him, mounting
and charging a political campaign for he is a nice guy, noble humanist who
is promoting Chittagongnian illegal immigrants, blab blab blab, phat phat!!!

No, that is not right. We have no political beliefs, affiliations nor ambitions.
As you can read, we have no intent to let you know who we are. Some of
us may hold double Doctorates and several Masters but we are not doing
this to show off our intellectual capacity. So for us, exposing PhD fakers
is a risky business. We are doing it because no one is doing it.

And moreover, we are neither in those positions to judge his personal beliefs
nor biases nor we do care. He can let his wife and his women folks to break
breads or Roti with those foreign men. However, we cannot allow him to use
an academic credential which we are not sure that he has earned it and weights
associated it that may go against our motherland. But it is not our motivation.
Once he prove a pdf file, a genuine doctorate dissertation - a lesser doctorate
such as EdD is fine too for us - we will clear his name. Till that day, we have
no choice but to keep his name posted here. The same promise for others.

Last but not least, we want to repeat, we do not want to do this. That was
why this blog is very young. We have been aware of some of PhD fakers
and forgers since the first half of 2000s. But we did not do any actions for
we were busy in graduate schools earning double doctorates and masters.

ABD, an unfinished PhD and Alternatica Medicina

This blog show cases a few prominent Burmese unfortunately for wrong reasons.
Some of them are here for they did not complete (no thesis) their PhD pursuits.
Some of them are here for buying degree certificates from diploma mills such as
degree for life experience, degree for five thousand dollars. Some are here for
their degrees are from non-universities for disciplines are Alternatica Medicina
or in Astrology unfortunately non-western university or any serious African or
Asian university those emulate western university model offer higher degrees in
those disciplines. So unless you define The University of Char Par Ti university
that offers PhD in Alternatica Medicina and Astrology then you create another
blog to counter us. That is fine with us. But here, higher education qualifications
degrees are limited to western universities or universities those emulate western  
universities, University of Yangon began its life as University College Rangoon
which is the hybrid model of residential colleges of Oxbridge and commuter
colleges of University College London which is under University of London.
The medical education in Burma is not modeled after Alternatica Medicina
but western medicine. That means if you are pursuing MBBS at University
of Medicine 1, that is you are following a western education leading to a
degree from an Asian university that imitates the western model of what a
university is and what undergraduate higher degrees it can offer to students.
In other words, a self-respecting university will never offer bachelor degree
programs in Alternative Medicine or Traditional Medicine. This Latin name
Alternatica Medicina means Alternative Medicine in English. For this reason,
if your PhD is Alternatica Medicina then you are here.

For those who cannot show their PhD thesis, not a crappy Adobe pdf file,
you are here not because we don't appreciate what you have learn from
your half-way PhD drop-out qualification. But you are just an ABD and
you are not allowed to call yourself a "Dr.". So that is why you are here.

Show me real thesis for fakers, show me respectable campus for fakers,
then I will delete you from this list. Those who have bought fake diplomas,
I think you have already achieved a lot, and if I were you I would tear off
those papers which are worth less than toilet papers. For those who had
spent 5 years in a campus but leaving without a degree, I suggest you to
earn some real PhD again.

Wednesday 16 May 2012

You can fake someone, but not everyone!


You can fake your PhD after staying in a graduate school
and did not earn the degree for not having enough brain
power. You can buy degrees such as PhD, DBA or EdD
but keep in mind that there is always someone who can
spot fakers and sometimes they will be happy to expose.

A word of advice for you, if you still can get away with
a forged or fake degree to employer, then earn a real one.

A note from us, we are willing to drop your name from
this blog as long as you can show your thesis (for those
who spent some years in graduate school, living there,
wanking around but not enough intellectual capacity to
earn a PhD - even some mental retards can earn real
PhD degrees and it is a not rocket science to earn it.
Or for the case of those who has bought certificates
from unaccredited fake universities, prove us that the
university from where you have earned is accredited.
Or drop your "Dr.". Then your name will be cleared.

For growing audience - now this blog received more
than 15000 visitors - an article for you how to spot
fakers and forgers. Simple rules: check PhD thesis,
see the accreditation of the university and the years.

How To Detect Bogus Fake University Degrees
By Chris Chew

A few notes from the article

'Bangladeshi, Abu Syeed Chowdury was jailed for 4 months
in Singapore when he was found to have used a fake bogus
University of Dahka degree to apply for a job. He was
already working in Singapore for 5 years before he was
found out and so had committed a serious immigration
offence.

Take for instance the case of Laura Callahan, who was
the deputy chief information officer in the United States
Homeland Security which is a high security department,
it was discovered in June 2003 that her university degree
was a fake.

Fake degrees that look like the real thing from Harvard!

So if you lived close to a university campus for 6 years, if you attended
some classes and dropped out, if you have sub-PhD degrees such as MS,
EdD, then why would you buy a diploma mill degree when you can fool
others using a (photo shopped) fake degree that looks alike the real thing.
See below:

'Other diploma providers offer fake degrees that look like the real thing
from such established universities as Harvard, Arizona State University
or the University of Minnesota. Using high-tech equipment, the diplomas
include watermarks, encrypting and holographs. Some also provide
transcripts and toll-free numbers where employers can call and verify
graduation.'
http://www.usatoday.com/money/workplace/2003-09-28-fakedegrees_x.htm

Can we say "Transcripts cam be fakes but not a genuine quality thesis"?

Emails from fake Mister Maung Zar Ni, his fans or!!!!

This blog has been receiving dozens of fake emails from fake
guys, girls or gays. They pretend that they send some emails to
HR of LSE, the same person impersonated as an official from
LSE, the same faker or fans of fakers acted as Ms. Bareback
Butter lubed Buttie, a personal assistant to a dean of University
of Wisconin Madison, the alma mater of fake PhD Mr. Maung
Zar Ni. But they are not paying attention to detail. Exposing is
imminent.

Following is the SMTP email headers of 3 emails received by
this blogger from a Burmese who said he wants to expose fakes
(unfortunately he is a fake or fan of a faker), an official (a fake
of course) at University of Wisconsin at Madison, HR at LSE.

Look at all of those, the receiving SMTP servers share the same IP,
i.e. a single SMTP email server is serving both universities and that
sender 'aceacademichelp@gmail.com', "Hr.Jobs@lse.ac.uk",
"smhahn@wisc.edu". So all those three parties, HR staff working
for LSE in London, UK and an assistant dean at the University of
Wisconsin at Madison, USA and that AceBoy are sitting in the same
room sharing the same SMTP server set up that strips off the other
emails they or he or she pretend(s) to send. That means they are all
fakes.

From here, we will warn, you, if one more stupid email is received to
those we have been tolerating, real parties concerned will be informed.
One more email, we will send your emails to those real recipients but
unlike you, we will not set up SMTP servers to strip off the addresses
of those recipients but we will forward those fabrications, forgeries and
impersonations straight to them. BTW, it is criminal act to impersonate.
Enough is enough! Mister Maung Zar Ni and his fans are warned now!

Pinning down a faker stops outsiders messing Burma

Among emails this humble blogger received from fake Brits,
Yankees, one has suggested the blogger to drop the charges
that Zar Ni is a fake doctorate with statement below:

'In any transitional process, ....
            .... The healing process begins with ourselves.'

Perhaps that guy, girl or gay knows this blogger supports reforms
in his native country. In fact, he is happy to see the president
U Thein Sein, his leader Daw Aung San Su Kyi and other reformists
are working together for Burma.

So this blogger received a lot of emails from a faker or his fans
with poor attempts to remove Mr. Zar Ni from this list, he wonders
why are they so desperate now. That reached two scenarios below:

First, if Maung Zar Ni were a self styled Dr., faking that he has
earned a doctorate (PhD), no doubt he will surely be desperate,
since PhD is his platform on which he tries to win over those who
do not have theirs. Although someone has faked that he sent to LSE
HR and professors to inform that Maung Zar Ni is a fake, for the
record, this blogger did not do such acts just because Maung Zar
Ni is a Burmese, this bloggers spared his ass for quite long till
he was trying to act against the country. And if he has earned his
PhD from UW Madison then he should not lose his sleep. So keeping
his name here is a fair game.

Second, if he were a fake PhD but his supporters such as "Burma
campaign for UK" and such organizations are still willing to use
that fake PhD against my leader, Daw Su's efforts, then exposing
him and attempts with fake emails, fake western names to remove
him (Mister Zar Ni) from this hall of shame will be alike pinning
down the enemy forces. In military terms, when you attack a post,
a citadel, a fortress, you have to pin down your enemy's incoming
reinforcements so that your forces will not get flanked or forced
to fight two fronts.

This stream of thought came after reading following news piece:

'Another Generation 88 member, Mya Aye said that many political
prisoners remain in prison.

“The fact is that the government’s denial to acknowledge the
existence of political prisoners amounts to ignoring the reality,”
he said.'
AP News Generation 88 activists back Myanmar's reform path

Mya Aye does not have credentials unless he bought a PhD from
a diploma mill. He cannot do self styling like Zar Ni unless he will
go and rent a room near a uni campus in UK. It is remarkable that
Zar Ni has already achieved in self-styling for quite long without
even buying fake credentials but just self-styling and bundling of
anecdotes, spending a few bucks for thesis hard binding, posing
an ordinary Adobe Acrobat file as PhD thesis.

If Maung Zar Ni is not pinned down, he will likely to discredit the
reform process, his fans will promote his charges using their dollars
and the destinies of my country and my people will be jeopardized.
Glad that I have set up this blog as I can help my country silently.

Fake emails from a fake PhD or his ball lickers

This blogger has been receiving fake emails. He will reveal so.
Following is the SMTP email header of the email received by
this blogger from an official (fake of course) at the University
of Wisconsin at Madison.

'Delivered-To: burmese.withfakephds@gmail.com

Likewise, following is the SMTP email header of another email sent to
this blogger from a HR staff at London School of Econonmics (LSE)
across the Atlantic ocean.

'Delivered-To: burmese.withfakephds@gmail.com

Look at both, they are received by the same server, that means a single
SMTP email server is serving both universities: LSE in London, UK and
University of Wisconsin at Madison, US. Ain't it weird? Blogger felt so!

If you do not know how email works. See two following web links:

(1) How email works
http://email.about.com/cs/standards/a/smtp.htm
(2) SMTP protocol
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mail_Transfer_Protocol

The blogger will not stop there. It is time to dissect the faker's or fakers'
pathetic English prose copied and pasted as follows:

'Dear Ma'am or Sir:

Per your request of 16 January 2012 (below), this email is to indeed
confirm that Dr. Zar Ni earned his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin
-Madison's graduate program in Curriculum and Instruction in 1998.  Further
inquiries on this matter may be directed to the Office of the Registrar of
this university.

Sincerely,

Steve Hahn
--
Steven M. Hahn
Assistant Dean
The Graduate School
Admissions & Academic Services
University of Wisconsin - Madison'

That gave your poor blogger a good laugh. Anyone works with westerners, or Europeans and their cousins can sense that above email was not written by an educated American working as a dean at a public ivy league university.

Even your humble blogger with bogus PhDs can correct that English to make it become decent. But
it will not be necessary as an assistant dean will not bother with enquiries for degrees. As exposed in a previous essay, Dr. Alexandra Walter, is the official who validates graduate transcripts, all academic matters. See the link below about inquiry to Dr. Alexandra Walter about Mr. Zar Ni.

'From: Alexandra Walter <atwalter@grad.wisc.edu>
Date: Wed, 09 Nov 2011 13:32:57 -0600
Subject: Re: Fwd: [Askmem-l]  XXXXXXX on Zarni or Maung Zarni
To:  XXXXXXX < XXXXXXX xxx@xxxxx>

I'm not finding anyone by that name either, but I'm afraid that's not much of a confirmation for you.  Recently a PhD called me asking for information, and it took several tries with different spellings before I could find his name.'

That is how a native speaker will write. That is how they will make sure their email will not be used or abused by the recipient. Note the "but" statement, that protects him against any quotes that could
put him in the hot water. Regarding UW Madison degrees, he is the sole point of contact for degrees. See link below to see his role:

Fake native speakers, faking as the secretary of a vice-chancellor

"It takes one to know one!" is a cliche. This blogger is a superb faker who has bought 2 Doctorates,
3 Masters, who is concurrently chairing 2 professorships at 2 diploma mills: University of Wicosin
at Medisin, registered in the State of California, United States and the Laddon School of Economics registered in the British Virgins Islands. Not impressed yet?

His MBA is from the Harrvarrd School of Bisiness. Being a faker, he may not be endowed with the professorships or chairs but he is well-endowed - go ask the mothers of those pigs who have been sending hate emails to your humble blogger.

This blogger thinks he is very smart. Using fake native speakers and fake email spoofings to fool
him are real insults to his intelligence. Those fake emails show someone is really desperate to quit
his hall-of-shame residential fellowship. Has not it stated very clearly, "Show me the campus, send me the thesis" then I will let you go. Remove fake "Dr.", "Ph.D", "D.BA" from web sites. You will
be free as a fish to go.

A lot of emails received here, all claim one way or another that (self-styled?) Dr. Zar Ni has earned
a real doctorate. But the problem is that those emails are also fakes. Persons are real but the emails did not originate from the email clients of those people. Rather from a free email account such as Gmail (like Thomas Bloom with the Google mail domain). Unless you are a fake, you do not use "gmail.com" account for real serious business dealings. Not learned it in faking PhD 101 class?

Another issue, without putting efforts, this blogger could distinguish between writings of genuine native (English) speakers and Burmese fakers. Non-native speakers think in their mother tongues,
and then they will interpret into English and attributed to that. A pair of trained eyes can read and
decide whether the writer is a genuine native speaker or not. For a Burmese, Indian or Chinese to
be able to think and write like an English native speaker (thus a writer), they not only have to be American or British trained at the university level or above but also have been potty-trained with English nannies. Total immersion is the key! Or they could speak grammatically correct English fluently using rich vocabulary but he or she could not still pass as a native speaker. In other words,
an English sentence composed by a native English speaker and non-native who are wet-nursed by  Irish midwives, toilet trained with Scottish nannies, tutored by Welsh teachers, grown up with an
English mistress, taught by American teachers and Australian professors can be set apart, spotted
and discriminated from non-native speakers.

Mr. Blooms, Ms. Bareback Buttie are no American from Madison and London but some foolish Burmese trying their best to pass as an English man or an American girl. Try another time!!

From restless not to rejoiced but quite relieved

When this blog was set up. I did not except more than 5 fakers
and forgers. Now I got 14. I was restless but do I feel  rejoiced?
No! But I felt quite relieved to expose them, before they will do
much damage to my country.

Show me the campus! Send me the thesis!

See below for detail but in general if your university does
not have a campus nor if you did not finish a thesis, you
are either self-styling yourself as a PhD or you bought a
fake degree from a diploma mill.

'If the answers to many of the following questions are “yes,”
the degree provider under consideration may be a “mill”:

Can degrees be purchased?
    -Is there a claim of accreditation when there is no
    evidence of this status?
    -Is there a claim of accreditation from a questionable
    accrediting organization?
    -Does the operation lack state or federal licensure
    or authority to operate?
    -Is little if any attendance required of students,
    either online or in class?
    -Are little or so few assignments required for students
    to earn credits?
    -Is a very short period of time required to earn a degree?
    -Are degrees available based solely on experience or
    resume review?
    -Are there few requirements for graduation?
    -Does the operation fail to provide any information about
    a campus or business location or address and rely, e.g.,
    only on a post office box? (or an address in Timbuku?)'
    -Does the operation fail to provide a list of its faculty
    and their qualifications?
    -Does the operation have a name similar to other well-known
    colleges and universities?
    -Does the operation make claims in its publications for
    which there is no evidence?

Raison de l'existence des usines à Diplômes

'One of the main reasons that fake schools continue to exist is that it is difficult to legally define exactly what is meant by the term "diploma mill" or "degree mill." Surely any school that will send you a Ph.D. by return mail on payment of $100, no questions asked, is a fraud. But what about a school that requires a five-page dissertation before awarding the Doctorate? How about 20 pages? 50? 100? 200? Who is to say? One man's degree mill is another man's alternative university. And nobody seems to want the government stepping in to evaluate doctoral dissertations before permitting schools to grant degrees. Would you want [insert the name of your least-favorite politician] grading your thesis?
Another large gray area is the one dealing with religious schools. Because constitutional safeguards in the United States guarantee separation of church and state, most states have been reluctant to pass any laws restricting the activities of churches -- including their right to grant degrees to all who make an appropriately large donation. In many states, religious schools are not regulated but are restricted to granting religious degrees. But in some, like Louisiana and Hawaii, if you established your own one-person church yesterday, you could start your university today and award a Ph.D. in nuclear physics tomorrow.
Many states say that religious schools can only grant religious degrees. A diploma mill in Louisiana took that argument to new limits, when they announced that because God created everything, no matter what you studied, it was the study of the work of God,
and therefore a religious degree. Twice, the Louisiana courts upheld this argument!'

Don't respect authority always question critically

http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/02/do_not_respect_authority.php

Why bother with fakers? Why expose forgers?

Why am I exposing fakes? Why do I care?
Because unless this disease is stopped and
eliminated, Burma will be infested with such
and such fakers (who claim they have earned
PhDs) and forgers (who bought PhDs).

Imagine forgers and fakers are in prominent
positions such as National Institute Of Health,
then PhD with Alternative Medicine will start
promoting their quack medicine and practices,
and some people will lose lives as they will no
longer receive proper medical care.

If faker Doctor in charge of higher education,
then Burma will have shitty universities and
university systems. When past genuine PhDs
have not managed to rise our education, one
does not need imagination when self-styled
PhD is in the driver seat or even consultant
role in higher education.

Imagine a forger historian with a 200$ PhD
is in charge of National History Commission,
then he will suggest Burmese in Thailand to
be regarded as "Yodayajar" ethnic group and
migrant Chittagongians as true-blue Burmese
ethnic race.

IMNVHO (In My Not Very Humble Opinion),
all fools, forgers and fakers are to be exposed,
named and shamed regardless of gender, race,
politicial role, revolutionary credentials, faith,
age or whatever. The whistles must be blown.
Exposing is not fun, the life of whistle blower
is alike a rape victim, she did not do anything
wrong but she should not let the world know
that she is doing the right thing so that rapists
will not get away with their crimes. Forgeries,
fake degrees and fooling others may not be
capital crimes but it is better to get rid of this
shitty practice before it will get rooted in my
country.

Online PhD

Tired with some paid work and watching pirated movies
I go for fishing that is finding fake PhDs to be exposed
which I defend it as a patriotic act. Whistle blowing or
exposing is alike a rape victim, you have to inform so
that those perpetrators will not get away after they did
wrongly. Faking credentials is a criminal act and in few
countries, it is punishable by law, the faker will not only
losing his academic job or elected seats, but he may end
up in jail if the authorities want to enforce. But today,
I only found a small fish as he may not be after a fake
PhD although a paper from a dodgy programme. Below:

'U Cin Lamh Mang, an anthropologist currently working
towards an [sic] online PhD [sic] on Chin textiles.'
In ethnic textiles, history is woven
By Zon Pann Pwint
August 16 - 22, 2010

http://www.mmtimes.com/2010/timeout/536/timeout02.html

I think unfortunately for U Cin Lamh Mang, he is likely to
be pursuing a fake PhD or dodgy PhD. I will explain why.

When you see "Online" and "PhD" together then you can
speculate that such PhD is likely to be a fake PhD. Same
for MSc and MBA. Online is not Part-Time nor Distance
Learning (which is marketed by universities as Part-Time).
So which unis provide online PhD? Only online unis like
Walden and Capella. So you know.

Are PhDs losers? Also are MBAs and lesser Masters!

PhD used to be gold the standard of academic achievement.
It is a terminal degree, the admission to a PhD programme is
demanding, in US, GPA of 4.5 out of 5.0 in some graduate
schools for some disciplines, and in UK 2:1 or second class
honours upper division is what you need to get into a PhD
although a first class honours or a Master degree is preferred.
But for overseas students, PhD is an easier route than a good
job that can lead to a career. For a young student in UK with
a honours degree may find it hard to secure a good graduate
programme. So for them, instead of going back to their home
countries to make 300 dollars a month, it is easier to proceed
to a MS/MA followed by PhD with scholarship or direct entry
into PhD degree programmes. After PhD, it is relatively easier
to get a low paid post-doc or fellowship job although may not
be as good as well paid jobs. PhD programmes are havens for
those cannot get good jobs. For British and Americans, unless
they are academically inclined they do not need any graduate
degree to get a decent living leading to a suburban 2 storied
house, 2 cars, 3 kids with a stay-at-home-wife, a nice doggie
and a boat. So while PhDs will strive to get a job, a 4 years
degree holder can lead such a good life. So in a sense PhDs
are losers for locals but for overseas students and immigrants
PhD stipends and academic track careers are not that shitty.
You see a lot of overseas students in any PhD programmes.
It is not that glory to have a PhD in some circles. PhDs are no
longer badges of honour but proofs of citizenship in loserdom.
The same story goes for a MBA, as in the past MBA were rare
and elitist degrees leading to lucrative careers but now even if
you have earned an MBA, you may not get the six figure jobs
in Walls Street, or City in London. MBA no longer is essential
status symbol of high achievers, it has become a good to have
paper. Still there is some value have in those degrees, as in the
past, a degree holder is seen as an intellectual, but nowadays,
basic degree holders are seen as illiterates in some social circles.
So peer pressure drives every Dick and Tom into graduate or
business degrees. It is especially true for people who earned
undergraduate degrees from less prestigious universities. As
some pompous Oxbridge graduates might say, not all degrees
are created equal.  See news piece of Guardian paper below:

Does it matter which Oxford you go to?

Vice-chancellors of Oxford Brookes and Oxford University stumble
in weighing worth of 2:1 degrees

Fakers in Open Access (Shitty) Peer Reviewed Journals?

I got some claims that some of those chaps are no
fakes as they have published peer reviewed journals
or edited books. Fine, but are those in crap journals
and edited books posted by dodgy quality publishers?
An edited book is a compiled collection of chapters
written by subject experts who has published a good
number of original works in peer reviewed journals.

What are Open Access journals? Are there fakes?
Some of them are dodgy if not outright forgeries.
A good example is below:

http://www.academicjournals.org

For editorship, Intech Open Access Publisher will
publish create an ebook for you, post on their web
sit, you can be the editor for that book, as long
as you are willing to spend a few thousands bucks
from your own pocket or your organizational budget
(hope you work for fools).

To see why some academics are upset with such dodgy
OpenAccess publishers, following blog is the source.

Correction: Dr. Shwe Lu Maung earned a PhD from Bangor

I was wrong to speculate that Dr. Shwe Lu Maung aka Shahnawaz
Khan earned a UoW validated PhD from Greenwich College, UK
or overseas college like that.

He has earned a PhD from University College of North Wales, which
later split from the umbrella body of UoW and his alma mater become
University of Bangor, which is well regarded Welsh University in UK.

Exposing fakes and fools might educate Burmese...

An email received, it suggests your poor blogger to do more
work to educate Burmese. He claims 'Burmese people just
simply look up when someone got a fake qualification from
abroad without evening using their common senses whether
it is genuine or fake.' How true. This blog exists exactly for
that purpose, to educate fellow Burmese. However, we can
do only if and when we have hard evidence and we must be
aware that people do mistakes and they should be given a
second chance. 

For example, the blogger learned about an ABD posing as a
PhD as early as 2003/4 but no action was taken because he
is a fellow Burmese. We want to be proud of his intellectual
achievement but he flopped. So thanks to him, this blog was
conceived. But we will delete any post if the person who is
accused as a faker gives us hard evidence such as the proof
of a completed thesis, removal of fake credentials, no more
fooling of Burmese with phony degrees from diploma mills.
Till then, our fellows of Hall of Shame will reside here till
then we know they will no longer fool others.
