Ministry hauls up eight more colleges in clean-up. Snippet: ... He said the other six establishments would be ordered to close for operating without ministry approval. They are Kolej Teknologi Midas Kuala Lumpur, CAA Academy of Arts Kuala Lumpur and Johor Baru and three distance-education providers owned by Shermont Graduate Studies Sdn Bhd. Hassan said: “Greenwich University in Australia (Shermont’s partner) is not even recognised by the Australian government, let alone the National Accreditation Board. How can they be allowed to recruit students?” Hassan said. Posing as a prospective student, Hassan visited the college’s Malacca branch yesterday and was told that he would have no problems obtaining a PhD as “the process is much easier than that of other universities.” “They told me it would not be a problem to obtain the doctorate within a year,” he said.
