The former PM, Najib Razak, wants to do a PhD. According to his legal counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah “Najib is undergoing his PhD studies while in prison”. The former Pekan MP is qualified to produce a thesis possibly entitled “Sovereign Wealth Fund and Contemporary Malay Political Culture”. Harvard University Press will be happy to publish it!
‘Dr’ Najib could join Dr Siti (Kepala Batas MP Dr Siti Mastura Mohamad) as a USM PhD graduate and identify key cousins related to the Saudi royal family – and Douglas Lim the comedian will love it.

To be fair Najib has a few honorary doctorates. He is smart enough to know that you cannot use ‘Dr’ if it is an honorary degree. Otherwise, he may not work for it. However, a compulsory subject he needs to clear is Pendidikan Moral for his PhD course.
Najib who is now serving a 12-year jail sentence at the Kajang Prison could also write a thesis on ‘leadership styles of the corrupted elite’. He has enough time to produce two PhDs. For supervisors, there are a whole string of people available. Tony Pua could also write a foreword, if he is kind enough to do so.
The 1MDB scandal was reported by the Wall Street Journal to have had USD4.5 billion missing and USD700 million transferred to Najib’s personal account. He insists it was a donation from a Saudi royal. Despite the scandal, Najib has retained some of his popularity. And UMNO still misses him, especially for a by-election like in Kemaman.
Not surprisingly, many of Najib’s followers and ardent fans believe he was a good PM. If not for 1MDB – which he claims he is wholly innocent, he could have been a good PM. But that’s not the case! So, please help him in his research.
