Learned about pontiff's visit to Burma. Being a Burmese, I wished his holiness Pope Francis have
a pleasant experience there. God bless Burmese of all creed and long live Burman nation. Amen!

"St Clements University" from the West Indies is a diploma mill!
Your blogger has received an email tip that a Burmese social activist has received a PhD from the St Clements University which has a registered office in Turks and Caicos Islands.
I was asked whether is it an institution that can confer recognised degrees and diplomas.
Your blogger takes his job, investigator exposing Burmese who have bought fake PhDs,
very seriously, so he did some research. Here are the unpleasant facts:
1) Turks and Caicos Islands are in British West Indies (see Wikipedia reference #1)
2) There is a private, no-campus institution self-styled as "St Clements University"
3) That "St Clements University" offers unrecognised degrees
Regarding facts #2 and 3, see aged quoted news from Times Higher Education article:
'He is also described as a professor at "St Clements University", a private "non-campus" institution registered in the West Indies that offers largely unrecognised degrees.' (2)
Above facts established that "St Clements University" from the British West Indies is a
diploma mill. Being so, that activist is qualified to be a resident of this hall of shame.
Now shaming part is done, naming will follow if your blogger will be forced to do so.
