Rangoon mayor Mister Maung Maung Soe claims that he has earned
his PhD from the Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands. It
is easy to find out.
The uniqueness of Dutch PhD is that all PhD dissertations are published
with ISBN numbers. In other words, if you have earned your PhD from
one of the Netherlands' universities, your PhD thesis must have an ISBN
number, and that means finding your thesis does not even need to go to
the university library. To determine whether someone has earned a PhD
from a Dutch university, you can go to any library, search library's ISBN
catalogue with author name. Alternatively, the accused can prove his
PhD is a bona fide doctorate by showing ISBN number of his PhD thesis.
Your humble blogger cannot find any Mister Maung Maung Soe, so the
new mayor of Rangoon has earned his residency in this hall of shame.
