JAKARTA - Fake diploma scandals among Malaysian state officials have become a polemic. Those who are considered to use fake diplomas are even at the ministerial level. This condition brought concern from all over Malaysia.

Najib Razak appeared to be the most noisy person. The former Malaysian Prime Minister (PM) from the 2009-2018 era considered the government not to be serious about choosing a minister. This comment made Najib attacked repeatedly. Allegations of fake diplomas turned to Najib.

Mahathir Mohamad is a living legend for the whole of Malaysia. This narrative made the Malaysian people happy when Mahathir officially served as Prime Minister of Malaysia again from 2018 - Mahathir had served as Prime Minister of Malaysia from 1981-2003.

The Malaysian people believe that Mahathir can bring big changes. The life of the Malaysian people is lifted. Corruptors were held at war. However, that hope is considered a height. This condition is because Mahathir is incompetent in forging people to become ministers in his government cabinet.

The Malaysian people are starting to get suspicious of the education of several ministers who are in Mahathir's cabinet. Suspicion grew stronger when in February 2019. At that time, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Malaysia, Marzuki Yahya, admitted that he had a bachelor's degree from the University of Cambridge, England.

The testimony was doubtful because the logistics education program carried out was distance learning. Cambridge at that time never attended distance education. Later Marzuki admitted that the title was not from the University of Cambridge UK, but from the unpopular campus of the Cambridge International University in the United States (US).

The Malaysian people suspect that the campus is fake. Suspicion was directed at other ministers. This condition provoked Najib Razak to speak up. He couldn't understand Mahathir's style of government. He considered Mahathir to be just like placing someone to serve as ministerial position.

Mahathir was also asked to take firm action: dismissal. This condition is because the official in question has lied to the public.

Last night, the Minister of Silver admitted that he did not have a college diploma and was not a graduate. This is after the recognition of the Minister of Housing and the Kingdom of Placement, Zuraida Kamaruddin and Minister of Defense Mohamad Sabu that they also never said they graduated from the campus in question.

"But what's complicated is the fake news that these ministers graduated from the top campus is from the biodata issued by the royal rasmi news channel - BERNAMA in their infographics and spread widely when he was appointed minister, which was about 9 months ago. What did they do for about 9 months? Stay away. This is a source from BERNAMA, not just Wikipedia, "said Najib on the official Facebook page Najib Razak, 11 February 2019.

Najib's criticism made the Mahathir government and its coalitions bombarded with criticism and criticism. However, Najib's noise had to be paid dearly. All Malaysian officials and representatives began to question the authenticity of his academic title.

They later accused Najib of having a fake diploma from the economic faculty of Nottingham University in 1974. The loudest figure was Chong Zhemin. Instead of just questioning, the Malaysian MP asked all politicians to challenge Najib to prove his diploma and academic degree.

Chong asked Najib to show the value of the results of studying, diplomas, and other evidence to the public. Najib did not hesitate to answer the challenge. He asked his son Ashman to raid his graduation photo archive in 1974.

The result was that Najib proudly showed a portrait when he graduated from Nottingham University in 1974. Najib also emphasized that all academic degrees and diplomas were valid on February 11, 2019. Najib's statement was later corroborated by a statement from the University of Nottingham on February 12, 2019.

Nottingham University stated that Najib was indeed a graduate of the British campus. His certificate was confirmed to be genuine. Najib did not want to lose. He said that his alma mater had also awarded the honorary doctorate (honoris causa) in the field of Falsafah in 2004.

The statement made Najib's downloads have fake diplomas like being swallowed up by the earth. Najib was also an example of a politician who was not afraid to respond to false accusations with concrete and convincing evidence.

"The university has confirmed that I received the Certificate of Young Bachelor with Commemoration in the field of Industrial Economy in 1974. Yes, I graduated from there. My low school and high school are St. John's Institution in Kuala Lumpur. After that, I continued at Kolej Male Malvern in England.

Then, I studied at the University of Nottingham and triumphed in receiving BA Hons Industrial Economics from there. Get a certificate with praise. In 2004, Universiti also awarded the Honorary Certificate of Doctor Falsafah in the law to me, "said Najib on the official Facebook page Najib Razak, February 12, 2019.
