1. Short thread on my thoughts on Jalil Rasheed (ex-PNB CEO) and his UOL / LSE degree.

3. I have not communicated with Jalil on the reason for his PNB departure of the degree. I don't know what he told the PNB board about his degree i.e. did he clarify that it was an external degree offered via a local institutions (HELP)

5. I had a few friends who went through the HELP UOL / LSE degree (3+0). The course offerings & content was the same as what I took at LSE except the course options were more limited. Marking of the papers were also done by external examiners, not by HELP lecturers.

7. Below are images for Jalil's degree (not verified but likely to be authentic) & my degree.

Note the similarities: Both are degree awarded by UoL, signed by the director of LSE & the VC of UoL. pic.twitter.com/q4daUwg5XA
9. At the end of the day, quibbling on whether Jalil actually graduated from LSE or not, is a technical issue that had nothing to do with his job performance as PNB CEO & his job experience.

The scrutiny should be on the real reasons as to why he was asked to resign. (END)
