Azeez: Neither Here Nor There

I've just found out more about Datuk Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim from a reader.

It seems our Putera Umno chief claims he enrolled at Preston University in 2002 for a two-year MBA programme.

Fair enough. But what he failed to disclose in his interviews was that it was a distance education programme.

This is what he said in the Sun interview:

"I did my Masters in Business Management and Administration in one of the universities in the United States."

"... with my SPM qualification and my work experience, I decided to pursue a masters in business management and administration in the United States."

And here in Agenda Daily:

"It can't be that I go to university, and come back empty-handed [balik kosong] ..."

Each of those statements imply that Azeez enrolled in an on-campus programme, which he didn't.

Now, Preston offers two MBA programmes via distance learning: Master of Business Administration and Executive MBA.

Both of these programmes require a bachelor's degree as part of entry requirements.

Azeez, by his own admission, does not have a bachelor's degree.

How did he get in? How did he get an MBA?

Ask Azeez. Azk Preston University.

I will only say this: Relatives are often willing to lend a hand.

Somewhere in the middle of Lingkaran Syed Putra lies the viper's nest.

Is he sure he's got the correct Preston? There was a Preston publishing house located in SS2 some thirty years ago. This may account for his story about one of the oldest university... LOL

What's that got to do with the price of eggs?

Preston University?


BWahahahaha.

This Azeez fella is a laugh riot .

Although Ivy League education itself doesnt mean that you are super-smart. Look at GW Bush. That guy cant even speak proper English although it is his own first language.

Google Bushism if you dont believe me.

Preston?
Maybe he was referring to that small town in northern England?

I agree with geekpunk. Too many Ivy League guys can't put together a coherent sentence. And of course we know how they got into those hallowed institutions in the first place kan?

Basically Putera seems to be a way for those young well-educated elites in UMNO to keep in control those less educated, disenfranchise Malay youth that they have little in common. Rather than reach to them one at a time, get a desperate low-life to try and round them up and do UMNO Youth's bidding. More and more UMNOputeras look like colonialist of their own race.

Hey Aisheman...nice blog...I've sort of did my own checking on the website.. If the university is indeed Preston University , Cheyenne, Wyoming then this university is not accredited by the Department of Education or the Wyoming State Board.

The above fact, I quote in verbatim below from the university's website.

"Preston University, Cheyenne, Wyoming, USA is a privately owned, for-profit corporation, incorporated in the State of Wyoming, USA.

Preston University is officially authorized to grant associate, bachelor, master and doctoral degrees. It is Licensed by the State of Wyoming under Wyo. Stat. §§ 21-2-401 through 21-2-407 and neither the Department of Education nor the Wyoming State Board of Education has accredited or endorsed any course of study being offered by Preston University.

In this catalog all product names are the properties of their respective owners. "

The link I obtained the above information is:

Cheerio

Might well be that this Azeez fellow got his "MBA" without first obtaining his bachelor's degree.

Many so-called universities accept "mature students" (those with very basic qualifications but have "relevant" working experience) for their distance learning courses.

While some are genuine in the sense that the students have to work on assignments, etc., most will give you an "MBA" if you have got the dough.

Aisehman

Loved your postings on this Azeez.

Great investigative journalism.

It appears this chap AZEEZ is a real SLEEZE (couldn't find a better word).

A very ambitious young man, never to hesitate stoop to lie and sleeze, impatient to push his head above others to engage in noisy politics so as to get attention from the UMNO hierarchy for his political career.

Is he a pure ethnic Malay ? Or one of those opportunistic constitutional Malay setting himself up to launch a greedy career within UMNO without having to sweat one bit?

Following the lead and prompt of Jeff and Aisehman, I've dug up a bit more information on Preston U and its like, and wrote a fair bit about it on my blog. Interesting highlights:

1. The Office of Degree Authorisation (ODA) of Oregon has no evidence that this is an accredited or otherwise acceptable provider of postsecondary education meeting Oregon standards.

2. Degrees from all of these suppliers are invalid for use in state or licensed employment in Oregon and the use of such degrees can result in criminal
prosecution or civil penalties depending on the circumstances of the use.

3. Preston University, for example, claims to have 30 "affiliated" campuses in 19 countries, and virtually all of its students are abroad. Abdul Basit, the university's president, is a native of Pakistan who rarely visits the university building at the airport in Cheyenne.

4. Even Pakistan has classified Preston University as a diploma mill and “classified all 15 Preston campuses in that country as ‘illegally operating'".

There you go. Credibility down the bin. :)

Time and again , The truth prevails. The posting by budak kampung kubur, refers to the squattar colony near the mini round about at end of Jalan 222 and the behind the Crematorium.

Liar we know, was also Along ( illegal money lende,

Modus Operandi : used to ' derma ' to the poor hawker Rm1000/-.
Than daily get his koncos to collect Rm13/- for 100 days ( Principle + Interest )from the hawker.

Rm13/- X 100 days = 1300/- works to 15% per month

Conman , we know
Bullshitter : MBA ( Macam Macam Business Ada )

Use gun and threaten when payment requested we know.

Income tax sleez , check his income tax file
Many court cases for cheating and threatening with gun.

Promised Pak Din a Mara loan for business, took 1K for processing fees, Pak Din still alive but 1K hangus, his excuse was that paid inside people and they played him out , same song different label.

Was arrested for using the same car registration card to apply for a car loan with 2 different finance companies , What happened to that case , maybe got abang angkut to NFA the case with the police ( NFA ; No Further Action )

Used sg.way gangsters like Mr.B and gang to beat up those who challenged him .

In reality , he is a F... coward , he only leverage all these guys for his personal gains and wrong doings , challenge him one to one and he will shit in his pants.

He frightens people with his loud voice and than call the B Boys for back up or the MIB ( Men In Blue )

A friend who read these postings , told me that he over heard the Sleez swearing by the Holy koran that he is innocent and he indeed studied for his MBA but was not sure if it was 100 years old...

Did anybody see his hand writing ?

He cannot even write a decent essay in English let alone complete his thesis for his M.B.A.

More will come , investigation is on and my resources are gathering evidence and will be posted on this blog.

Aisheman , keep the heat on this Sleez , he is going about his life like nobody can touch him or remove him....
