Agree with this thread. Azhar was not a victim of a scam.

That kid even copied his entire "thesis" the introduction page, from a blogspot πππππ.

I am still a student, reaching the peak of my career. I have offers from reputable institutions from abroad and I would dearly request for the people of Malaysia to not jeopardise my future career for this uncertainty.

And hereβs another one – This NASA boy claimed that he wrote this thesis (although he showed the evidence pakai Note dalam phone je) for the program but unfortunately, he copied almost everything from the internet, barring the last few paragraphs.

Honestly this is the wildest thing I've ever seen so far on malaysian twitter. Guy tweets he got a scholarship from NASA, gets picked up by the media, says biology ain't shit compared to physics and now getting exposed for lying about getting the scholarship in the first place. https://t.co/W1JPUEiqpT

Hi @NASA many Malaysians are questioning the validity of Azhar Ali's acceptance as a citizen scientist (+ scholarship offer)

While it would be a great source of pride if it were true, I'd love if your organisation could verify this to clear doubts. #AskNASA https://t.co/kFaoebCL0J pic.twitter.com/QtX6bcsMeE
Something amiss about that Azhar Ali guy who won the NASA scholarship to NUS. The participation is actually open to only US higher institutions & entered as teams. And it was the US institutions that won the challenge, nor individuals. pic.twitter.com/NHnq7iqoO1
— Joshua M (@slickdrums) May 2, 2020
We reached out to Muhammad Azhar Ali on Twitter to ask how he got the scholarship if you need to be a U.S. citizen or PR to qualify, but he hasn't responded. https://t.co/S04hRSglHI
