KUALA LUMPUR – A fun meme posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, ended up exposing a fraud who had managed to fool even the chief security office of the Malaysian government to win a place in its premier youth fellowship programme.
“He hasn’t graduated yet. Same batch as me. I was his ex-roommate. But AFAIK , I haven’t heard of the course yet. Mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, biomedical engineering. Only these five,” said @zikriadamn on the social media platform. Without naming Mr Azhar, it said that a fellow who was attached to the Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry was terminated for violating the programme’s terms after the certificate for one of his achievements was found to be “not legitimate”.
But it was later revealed the competition was an on-site activity held at Space Centre Houston for teams, not individual students. Also, the participants must be United States citizens or legal permanent residents. One Malaysian replied: “This was the funniest thing to happen on Malaysian Twitter”, while sharing an image of Mr Azhar as a “Nasa citizen scientist.”
Speaking to the press on Thursday, Ms Yeoh said her ministry has recognised that there are weaknesses in the selection and filtering process, and has launched an investigation into the vetting team for further action.
