In defence of Fazley Yaakob — Idlan Zakaria
November 10, 2010
NOV 10 — Yes, you read the title right. You may find it funny that I am writing an entry to defend the guy, given my own personal crusade against anything bogus PhD.
But I think the issue has been blown somewhat out of proportion, and I think credit should be given where credit is due. Some facts need to be restated, and I think we need to reflect on what we know, and what we don’t.
To start off, perhaps I shall explain where I stand with regards to bogus PhDs. I can speak with limited authority on the process of doing a doctorate, having now survived one myself. Yes, I use the word survive, because it is not a task for the faint-hearted. It is mind-numbing, demoralising, heart-breaking, frustrating and soul-sapping.
Above all, it is also a very lonely process… this is why among people I know, their PhD years are where many find God. Yes, it is rewarding, but oh, the tunnel that you’re in… many times the light you see really is an oncoming train. You go through a phase where you question everything you know; where you doubt every morsel of knowledge you have.
It is not easy.
I have seen my seniors and my colleagues overcome the battle that is the PhD even while running a family, or being separated from their family. Some find themselves or a loved one falling seriously ill during the process. Others have had marriages break up as a result. Don’t diss it, doing a PhD is a monumental task.
So yeah, if you can flash some cash and get yourself a doctorate without going through any of the pain and soul-destroying process, I find it distasteful that you strut around calling yourself Dr and get awards for it. Not that I want an award. I just want for people to realise that it’s a fraud, and I want people to stop idolising “false idols”.
You want someone to idolise? I can recommend you my friend who is four years younger than I was when he got his PhD, which was fully funded by the institution where he did his PhD at, because he was that smart. Yes-lah, Malay. (Does it always have to come to that?) And add to that, he does charity work too. Itu baru Tokoh Belia. But Ghoyye can’t sing though, haha.
So yeah, that’s where I stand. Now on to some facts.
Who are the University of Wales?
The University of Wales is an accreditation body, under which leading universities in Wales all grouped under. However, in recent years, Cardiff University, Aberyswyth University, Bangor University and a few others have broken away from the University of Wales and provide their own degrees.
As part of a strategy to stay in business, the University of Wales now accreditates degrees provided by international institutions by way of an academic partnership — they validate the degree, but do not have anything to do with the delivery.
Why is Fazley Yaakob’s PhD an issue?
Truth be told, I don’t know. Fact: Fazley does not teach at the university — he is just management, so it has no bearing on the academic courses. The college’s teaching staff are fully qualified, so Fazley’s PhD is irrelevant.
But here’s another thing. Fact: The University of Wales has struggled of late to justify their existence, as top universities are no longer being accredited by them. Theory: They are trying to stay away from scandals and dodgy figures.
There is a possibility that Fazley’s Masters and PhD have been thrown into the whole melee as they try to distance themselves from anyone related to Irish International University, who are not really a university.
Is Fazley’s Masters and PhD /DBA bogus?
Let me answer this in the following way: He obtained both of the above qualifications from European Business School – Cambridge, which has been exposed by the BBC as being a sister institution to the aforementioned Irish International University, who have been exposed as running a scam and awarding bogus degrees. You do the maths.
Do I believe the degrees are bogus?
In a word — yes. Bogus in the sense that the degrees purport to represent the achievement that is the culmination of a process that never happened. If you are studying for an undergraduate degree, then the expectation is that you undergo a four-year course of study, or three years in some places. If you do a PhD, the expectation is that you produce a thesis after three years of research. You get my drift.
My institution, as well as many if not all of the others, would be a laughing stock if we hired anyone from the above institutions to work as a member of academic staff. Similarly, any student applying to do a PhD with a masters from the aforementioned school would be rejected, there and then.
So if his degrees are bogus, why was he allowed to open a college?
These are two very different things. Bogus degrees just mean they’re worthless in the world of academia. Fazley is not an academic, he is a businessman, an entrepreneur. He does not need a PhD to open a college. Anyone can, even me. Wait, bad example.
But my point is, anyone can. You just need capital; it’s opening a business. What he has to ensure is that his teaching staff are properly qualified — and to the best of my knowledge, they are. I’ll say it again — you don’t need a doctorate to open a private college, you just need to be a good businessman.
So conspiracy theories about this being a “cover up” or that he got his licence using the back door … that is balls. So don’t question the legitimacy of his college. I’m quite confident it’s legit.
So where’s the beef?
The beef, to me, is in the way he has failed to clarify that his PhD was not obtained via traditional means, and has had no shame in using the prefix Dr in front of his name. Many people really thought he had a bog-standard PhD, and that he was an academic in that sense. I haven’t seen proof of him ever clarifying this.
Fazley is seen as an idol for many young people, not just because he is a pop star, but because he is an “educated” young man and a resourceful entrepreneur. He is considered a motivational expert, drawing upon his experience to inspire people to succeed. But he hasn’t quite done the time, has he? There’s the swindle there, there’s the beef. Because the tragedy of this is two-fold.
First, all he’s proven to the people he has inspired is, if you got money, anything goes in this world.
And second, Fazley Yaakob is a smart guy. Intelligent. He scored 8As in his SPM during a time when 10As were a rarity. He was awarded a scholarship by Renong — a prestigious award for only the best — to study in New Zealand. If he wanted to do a Masters and obtain a PhD/DBA the normal way, I’d have little hesitation in saying I am pretty damn sure he would have been able to succeed. But he chose a different way.
So, in sum
This has got nothing to do with his college. It’s about him, and his own personal integrity.
And as for anyone wanting to run the “ini usaha menjatuhkan usahawan Bumiputera” line — think about it: Siapa tipu siapa sebenarnya? Siapa yang jatuhkan siapa?
“Kaum lain sedang bertepuk tangan gelakkan kita”? Memang kena gelak, sebab kita kena tipu. Jangan marah orang yang marah sebab kena tipu. Marahlah orang yang cuba menipu.
Reflect on this: Lebih sanggupkah melihat orang ramai terus ditipu demi menjaga “maruah bangsa”? The media will spin this story a million ways to Sunday — they are already saying the BBC are out to get him. Really? The BBC? Yes I know he has four hit albums but no, he’s not that big.
Tak perlulah keluarkan statement, Melayu nak jatuhkan Melayu. The truth is? Dia menjatuhkan diri sendiri dengan menggunakan gelaran Dr. when he had no right to it.
Recourse
Fazley, in his resignation statement, said nothing about denying the degrees were bogus. I take that as a tacit admission that they are. So what can he do now? Maybe do a proper Masters and PhD. Like I said, he’s smart enough. And when he’s gone through the process of doing a PhD like others have, he can finally chalk this bogus degree episode as “life experience”.

Singer resigns
By Najiah
Created Wednesday, November 10th
... As a BBC report queries the principal's qualification to lead
Joe Lee [1]
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010 13:01:00
Fazley Yaakob [2]
FAZLEY: All will be made clear soon
PETALING JAYA: Singer Fazley Yaakob has resigned from his post as executive director of Fazley International College (FIC) last night due to uncertainties by University of Wales pertaining to the singer's academic qualifications, including two bogus degrees.
The singer told The Malay Mail this morning: "I have resigned with immediate effect based on the advise of the board of directors of FIC and also my own legal advisors to safeguard the relationship between the FIC and University of Wales."
Fazley had earlier shrugged off a BBC report on the University of Wales having suspended relations with the Fazley International College (FIC), pending an inquiry.
In an interview with The Paper That Cares regarding the action — said to be related to the controversy over the personal academic qualifications of Fazley himself, who is executive director of FIC — he had initially chosen to remain mum on the matter as it involved other parties.
Stating a better understanding of the situation was needed, he said: “It is premature to comment on the matter as the University of Wales has not disputed the fact that FIC is qualified to run the said programmes.
“This was further enhanced by their statement that all our enrolled students are not affected by their administrative process to review and arbitrate.”
On Saturday, the BBC aired a report naming the FIC as the college in question. It is one of three education institutions the University of Wales collaborates with in Malaysia.
An agreement in 2007 allowed students to its validated courses the following year — having gained provisional approval from the Malaysian Qualifications Agency.
The report also stated the university will not recognise additional admissions to its BA (Hons) in Business Administration and MBA courses until concerns about the principal's qualifications have been investigated.
The Welsh university said the 35 students now attending courses would not be affected.
The BBC Wales Week In Week Out programme broadcast yesterday had a report naming Fazley as “a Malaysian pop star with a bogus doctorate” being the man behind FIC.
The programme said Fazley claimed to have a masters, degree and a doctorate in business administration, but both had been proven bogus as these originated from the European Business School (Cambridge) — an offshoot of the Irish International University, which was exposed as a sham by the BBC in 2008.
A Professor Nigel Palastanga was, however, quoted as saying there were no concerns about academic standards at the college.
In his response, Fazley said: “We appreciate the public concern on this matter. We have confidence the speculative nature of this magnitude will stop once the understanding of the whole matter is available for perusal.”
Fazley does not lecture on the courses and has publicly stopped using reference to his academic qualifications. He also stated all will be made clear in due time.

Minister: College owners not required to have academic qualification
By Najiah
Created Wednesday, November 10th
Bernama [1]
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010 18:53:00
KUALA LUMPUR: Owners or directors of colleges are not required to possess academic qualifications, but their teaching staff must have the necessary qualifications in their respective field of studies, said Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
As such, he said action would only be taken against Kolej Antarabangsa Fazley (FIC) if it was found to have breached the conditions stipulated by the ministry.
"Many people who have set up colleges do not have high academic qualifications because that is not required. What is required is that when you conduct the course, you have the teaching staff who are actually qualified," he told the press after launching the International Lifelong Learning Conference 2010, here today.
The three-day conference is being attended by more than 100 participants from 20 countries including Australia, India, Canada, Sweden, Japan, Oman and New Zealand.
However, he said if Wales University had stipulated that the owner of the college that was collaborating with it must be academically qualified, then that was their own right.
"What I was made to understand was that the University of Wales had based the qualification on the owners and they were not looking at the others," he said.
However, he said an investigation was still going on and action would be taken if the college had breached the regulations stipulated by the ministry in terms of studies and other conditions necessary to set up a college.
Earlier, an article in the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) website dated Nov 9, said that Fazley had resigned as a director of the university to protect the image of the college, whose relationship with Wales University had been suspended temporarily.
The suspension was made following a claim by the university that Fazley possessed a false PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) from the European Business School, a branch of the Irish International College which was exposed by BBC as being false in 2008.

Pada saya, memang isu sama ada pemilik kolej berkelayakan dan sama ada kolej itu sendiri berkelayakan adalah dua isu berbeza. Memang tidak ada peraturan pemilik kolej kena ada qualification tinggi. Tp oleh kerana degree2 pemilik dalam kes ni diragukan malah dikatakan palsu oleh BBC, maka ini menjadi soal integriti, bak kata prof di University of Wales dlm laporan BBC tu. Pada saya, benda ni agak relevan sbb kolej ni perniagaan dia berkaitan pendidikan dan pelajar mahukan degree hasil dari pendidikan ni. Jd, kalau pemiliknya dikaitkan dgn degree palsu, maka ini menjejaskan integriti kolej juga. Lainlah kalau perniagaan yang dimiliki itu ialah restoran misalnya, maka isu degree palsu tidak menjejaskan integriti perniagaan makanan tersebut. |
