37. Thesis Writers

The Higher Education Ministry will not compromise in the matter of any tertiary student getting professional thesis writers to pen their theses, Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamad said tonight.

However, so far he had yet to receive any complaint of such a practice, he added.

"This is news to me. I have not received any report on it. If anyone knows of such a thing, please report to us for an investigation to be conducted.

"We regard this a serious matter and will not compromise," he told reporters after attending the closing of a public tertiary institutions entrepreneurship carnival here.

Mustapa was asked to comment on the use of professional thesis writers by a number of students of local universities, as reported recently by a newspaper - Bernama.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Few ever talk the truth these days.
