First, we are told that the indelible ink used at GE 13 was fake. They used food dye.
See Food Dye was used as Indelible Ink for GE 13!
Now, two ministers in Najib’s cabinet are accused of holding fake degrees!

It was quoted by online reports that they had urged Najib to ask Riot and Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Ewon Ebin to resign for having fake degrees if the prime minister was serious about his cabinet’s integrity.
However, Riot had said he was in the human resources ministry because his first degree in Human Resource was from University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom while his Masters was also in the same field. – Bernama

I am worthy to be human resource minister, says Riot

SERIAN (June 29, 2013): Human Resource Minister Datuk Richard Riot said today he is worthy of being appointed as a federal minister, which was the prerogative of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak, following calls by the opposition that he should be asked to resign for allegedly having fake university degrees.
Riot, who is also Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) deputy president, said the opposition’s accusation was uncalled for especially as they had questioned the integrity and wisdom of the prime minister in appointing him as a minister in his new cabinet.
“As prime minister, he (Najib) has used his wisdom to find out whether I am fit to be a minister, and that includes my academic qualification, by tasking me to be in charge of the human resources portfolio, which is a very challenging ministry with 13 agencies,” he told reporters after launching the Pesta Birumuh 2013 and the state-level 1Malaysia Support For Housewives and Azam Kerja programme here.

Information about Human Resources Minister Richard Riot’s academic qualifications was obtained from a government website and are not “made up facts”, DAP’s Serdang MP Ong Kian Ming said today.
Ong said yesterday that Richard and another minister have “fake degrees” because the universities they obtained their degrees from were “degree mills.”
Richard later refuted the allegation, saying he went to the Hertfordshire University and not the American institution Ong had referred to.
Ong today produced a screenshot from the website of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, where Richard had been deputy minister in the previous term of Parliament, in which Richard’s qualification was listed as from the said American institution in Preston.

In Najib’s 1Malaysia, if you have fake degrees, you get promoted to MINISTER!
Written by Ong Kian Ming
Is this transformation when two Ministers with fake degrees are responsible for human development in our country? It is truly disappointing that on the first day for Ministerial replies in the first parliamentary sitting since the 13th General Election, Malaysians have to accept the reality that Prime Minister Najib Razak has appointed two Ministers with two ‘dodgy’ degrees each from institutions which are degree mills.
The first Minister in question is Richard Riot, formerly the Deputy Foreign Minister and now the Minister for Human Resources (MoHR). According to a previous entry in the website of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he was listed as having a Bachelor of Business Administration from the Chartered Institute of Business Administration (Ireland), Teoranta in 1994 and a Masters in Business Administration from Preston University in the USA.
Not only could we not find any website belonging to the abovementioned Chartered Institute of Business Administration (Ireland), Teoranta, Preston University is a well-known bogus university as reported by numerous newspaper reports.[1]
The second Minister in question is “Dr” Ewon Ebin, the new Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation (MoSTI). The MoSTI website lists the Minister as having obtained his Doctor in Business Administration (DBA) from Golden State University, Wyoming.[2] Although not stated in the MoSTI website, we were informed that the Minister obtained his Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from the Commonwealth Open University which is based in the British Virgin Islands. Both of these ‘institutions’ are listed down as ‘unathorized schools and invalid degrees’ by the state governments of Oregon and Maine in the United States.[3]
…..
What makes this revelation more ironic is the fact that both Ministers are in charge of ministries where human capital development, proper accreditation, certification and standards are key responsibilities.
Not only does the MoSTI give out millions of ringgit in grants (ScienceFund, TechnoFund, InnoFund, NanoFund), it is also responsible for the protection and safeguarding of Intellectual Property (IP) rights. One of its agencies, the Departments of Standards Malaysia, is also responsible for the accreditation process for many laboratories across Malaysia.[6]
Therefore, to entrust two Ministers with fake degrees with the serious responsibilities of human capital development and the management of certifications and standards is not only a gross embarrassment but also most ironic for a Prime Minister who has made transformation his clarion call.
