'Tan Sris' involved in buying fake degrees, say cops

Eminent members of society, some of whom are ‘Tan Sris’, have been implicated in buying fake degrees from a syndicate recently brought down by the Selangor police commercial crime department.

“Many of those involved are those with status in society,” said Selangor CPO Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah.

Speaking to reporters at the state police media briefing in Shah Alam today, he added that some of those linked with the fake degree syndicate included ‘Tan Sris’.

He said that those who bought the degrees “know very well” that they were purchasing fake degrees and if they used those documents to get jobs or for whatever purpose, it involves the element of fraud.
