If you all check carefully the TAR's staff website.You could see lots of academic inbreeding happenings there.

http://www.tarc.edu.my/staff/staff_st.htm

1st example: ex-TARCians with Campbell qualifications becoming lecturers to support and teach Campbell degree programs.

2nd example: head of microelectronics,extra-mural and Perak campus branch head, all have one thing in common: Phd(Exe). What a nice coincidences!!

So if this is not a case of money buying PhDs through long-distance programme, then I don't know what else is.

As usual, TARC for being closely associated with political party MCA, the Malaysian Government, of course, will close both eyes!!!

Good luck to those going to TARC, choose your courses carefully!!!

yes,kimhoong,please explain what does phd(Exe) means actually??

come on, just do a rough figures on how many TARCians, considering more than three decades since early 1970s, spends money, paying to the Americans and the British through Campbell degree programs, ACCA and also those top-up summer program in UK for SOT students.

All these $$money$$ that pumped into the foreigners (Americans, British and maybe even the Australians) could easily be used to "pass" those ex-TARCians (management staff in TARC) or open an education route for them to enroll in some unknown British university and then have their UK supervisors stationed there to put on a show that they are truly hardworking and ,oh!!! after 4-6 years of toiling!!,presto!!!, award them their PhDs.

Why??The reason is real obvious , TARC is just a money pipelines for foreigners to suck and suck ringgit out of Malaysia's economy into their pockets.

In order to protect these pipelines, the TARC management staff need to consolidate their position among the Malaysian Chinese communities and they need some academics credibilities for parade, hence all those education sponsorship/scholarship routes within TARC management staff (whose loyalty goes all the way to some big shot MCA politicians).

A typical case of Americans-British and certain Malaysian Chinese conniving, colluding and conspiring to cheat and deceive Malaysians' parents.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!!!
