BN candidates with degrees from degree mills?

Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Najib Razak (my views of BN can be found here) announced the slate of candidates for Selangor. As can be seen in news reports, Najib highlighted the credentials and qualifications of the candidates, and henceforth, displays confidence that it is BN’s best hope to reclaim the state of Selangor from Pakatan Rakyat (my views of PR can be found here).

Of course, the much anticipated announcements of candidates cumulated into great excitement amongst BN supporters because many candidates are new faces, and many are well qualified.

However, this excitement seems to be unsustainable. Just a few hours after the BN announcement of candidates, questions were raised about the true “qualification” of a few of the BN candidates.

Democratic Action Party’s (DAP) strategist began by questioning on his twitter where some of the BN candidates got their degrees from. He hinted some were from degree mills where people typically “buy degrees without qualifications”.
