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

He lied and it got him the fame that he wanted. But now that he kantoi, he's trying to save his ass. https://t.co/GoNMMKrIvc

And here’s 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.

Apa dia ni 🤦🏻‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/FUpgl1rynW

One more thing. Azhar Ali claims he's been offered a place in NUS for Mathematics/ Applied Mathematics for Cosmology? 😂😂😂 We dont offer such course. Sudahlah. The more you dig into the og tweet, the more laughable it is, w all the grammatical errors pic.twitter.com/n9oqn5Wi7g

Azhar Ali claimed that @NASA is giving him a scholarship.

His claim attracted @MuhyiddinYassin & @Khairykj's attention.

Local media failed to do any fact-checking. I have tried to do the bare minimum in this story for @saysdotcom https://t.co/qVOnSrQmCE

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

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

If this Azhar Ali guy really scammed the whole nation's who congratulate him for getting NASA scholarship, he deserves a cookie for fooling politicians including Prime Minister and KJ. 😂😂 Absolute Mad Lad!! pic.twitter.com/4g1ZktJjwW
