I've done a bit of research and have reached the following conclusion:

The universities are setting up subsiduaries (in this case the Open University Malaysia sets up the Institite of Professional Development) and this allows them to give out *unaccredited* diplomas (Career Certifcate/Executive Diploma). These seem of little value, and are unrecognised by anyone else.
In addition they are expensive (I was quoted RM17k! - I can do a real photography degree (BA Hons) in UK for RM21k).

Anyone know anything different?
