"Tertiary institutions have to implement strong measures to prevent plagiarism, as modern technology has been made easier for students to pass off others’ works as their own."Modern technology has also made it easier for journalists to pass off others' works as their own and get off scot free. In Brendan P's case, he still writes for the newspaper after the NSTP's chief executive here ruled that Brendan P's article was "original" and threatened to sue the BBC if it didn't retract its report.
[read The Star's article here on the UM's anti-plagiarism guide. the same article says StarEducation on Sunday will carry a full report on plagiarism]
Bro Rocky
ReplyDeleteYou must appreciate Brendan P, the plagiarist because he had help to ignite the anti-plagiarism campaign inour university.
That pariah is still around and writing in the NST. How unshameful and lack of self self-respect, this famous plagiarist.
I do not think that he will ever leave the NST for there are too many goodies for him through Kalimulah. After all, UMNO conference was all over. No Melayu can whack him no more. The Plagiarist can go milking hte NST's confer until dry.
Mark my words, Kalimullah will come out with some trick to keep the Plagiarist in the NST for remote control purposes.
Any, Malaysians should start a boycot campaign agaisnt NST until Kalimulah and his boys like Brendan ,the plagiarist, are out of NST. Those who have stop readign and buying NST, please keep it up. You are part of the nation building whereby you are doign your duty to stop Kalimualah and Khariy to destroy the papers and the nation.
Dear Rocky,
ReplyDeleteI thought Pla*****t Brendan had resigned from NST?
In today's New Sunday Times, the followings are listed in Page 20:
Group Ed-in-Chief: Hishamuddin Aun
Group Editor: Brendan Pereira
Dep Group Editor: Syed Nadzri Syed Harun
Editor New Sunday Times: Joseph Sossai
Wonder if I have missed something?
That plagiarist is leaving the NST next month, unless of course, Pak Lah on the advice of Kali & Khairy thinks he is indispensable & insists he stays on.
ReplyDeleteAfter all, didnt the NST CEO Syed what's his name says Brendan P is the best Group Editor the paper has ever had.
Makes me wanna puke just writing that down.
Brendan and Syed Feizal,
