AS with a lot of things, everyone, including the Malaysian Employers' Federation (MEF) is jumping on the bandwagon urging the government to set up a body to vet and verify foreign degrees. What a waste of resources and effort, I would say.
By right, it should be the obligation of the employer (or whoever concerned) to verify the authenticity of a degree . A golden rule to follow is, if it sounds very posh and too good to be true, the chances are it is fake. For example, it is highly improbable for a guy who cannot string a simple sentence together to have obtained a degree in English Philosophy
