"He said: “I needed the PhD, which I worked hard for via online classes and had written a thesis for almost two years. I was afraid I would be detained when I travelled to the US for the convocation.

“My mind was really clouded, and I didn’t suspect it was a scam. They kept pressing me and so, in the end, I gave in.”"

product of SG education system.... too trusting, always get scared by govt...

so no need CoC, defend the title, no need to publish papers etc? that is an easy PhD...
