EXPOSED: IDA HIRED A FOREIGNER WITH A DEGREE FROM A KNOWN DEGREE MILL

Post date:

An Applications Consultant working for Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) of Singapore has been exposed for using a fake degree to get her job.

Temasek Review facebook page shard a blog link that exposed Southern Pacific University as a fictitious school created as a degree mill. According to the blogger, realeyezation, the creator of South Pacific University is a certain "Sir" Geoff Taylor who is also addressed by many titles conferred from his own university where he is the President:
Mr. Taylor holds a plethora of titles, his official one being (according to Southern Pacific University), Sir Prof. Dr. Geoffrey Taylor, B.Com, MBA, Ph.D, F.Inst.D, FAIB. That’s a mouthful of credentials but not necessarily credibility.
You may read more interesting, albeit hilarious, facts about Southern Pacific University from realeyezation's post.

A degree information forum has also actively discussed the bogus credentials of Southern Pacific University.

Furthermore, all the links for applying for a course and their "e-campus" on the Southern Pacific University Website are broken, leading users to the following page:


The only prominent link on the homepage is one titled "Verification of Graduation". The entire website seems to be made for careless employers to click on this 1 link to check to see that the potential job applicant actually graduated from the "university".

Here is one foreigner in Singapore who openly professes that her degree is from SPU:







Nisha Padmanabhan, in her linkedin profile, it says that she has been working for IDA for over a year. She first started working in Singapore for a software company, Optimum Solutions, based in Changi Business Park. Nisha subsequently job-hopped between companies lasting no longer than a year until she arrived at Hitachi as a Senior ERP Consultant where she worked for 6 years.

Aside from the Ministry of Manpower who approved her Employment Pass and the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore who hired her, below are the othercompanies who did not do their due diligence checking her credentials:



Just last year, a former NUS Associate Professor Anoop Shankar was exposed in the United States for holding fake credentials. Another high profile case is Yang Yin, a former tour guide from China, who used fake credentials to obtain his Permanent Residency.
Perhaps it is time the Ministry of Manpower first do their due dilligence and conduct checks for all Employment Pass holders, those who have attained Permanent Residency like Yang Yin and even those who obtained Singapore citizenship in the recent years when the PAP government opened the immigration floodgate.
The Manpower Ministry must be held accountable for such lapses because many Singaporeans have been bypassed for high paying PMET jobs taken up by foreigners.
How many fake degree holders like Anoop Shankar, Yang Yin and Nisha Padmanabhan are there out there?
