"And after 2 years with us.....she still couldn't figure out what is / , /var or /home.Let alone to housekeep them. She don't even know what to do to a full filesystem..GOSH!"
I know one lady. She was a doctor from Bangladesh. You can't believe it. Everything don't know, everything can't do. Ask her something - answer don't know. See her doing pipetting - her hand also can shiver. Imagine her holding a knife on my body and doing surgery for me - send shiver down my balls.
The only thing she is good at was smiling. Whenever I looked at her, I got this fucking feeling of seeing her breaking into dance if there is music. -

Singapore – More than 400 foreigners were caught last year for lying to Singapore’s Manpower Ministry in their work pass applications, a fourfold increase from 97 cases in 2005, a media report said on Friday. The majority were said to have used fake or forged qualifications in applying for employment passes, necessary for highly qualified people, or S-Passes, for semi-skilled workers, The Straits Times said.
A rising trend of workers using qualifications from bogus universities that sell degrees for little or no studies was also detected.
Making false statements in the applications for work or immigration passes carries stiff penalties, including fines and jail. Foreigners caught are also likely to be repatriated.
IntegraScreen, which does screening work for immigration authorities in several countries in Asia and the Middle East, said about 5 per cent of the resumes are found to be faked.
“The use of diploma mills is exploding as the internet makes buying bogus degrees easier than ever before,” managing director John Baxter was quoted as saying.
“More workers are buying these degrees because they are looking for an edge in the competitive job market,” he noted.
Most degree mills charge between 50 US dollars and 5,000 US dollars for degrees at all levels. Some provide an after-sale service, with phone operators verifying graduations and sending transcripts to prospective employers.
David Leong, head of PeopleWorldwide Consulting, told the newspaper that those who purchase their degrees are not victims, but intend to hoodwink employers or business clients.
For every one that got caught, there would be more that got away scot-free. Viva LKY .

Think its quite rampant worldwide. When I was in Sydney you could actually get a perfect replica for any Aussie university degree. People actually pay and get Culinary degrees/diplomas so that they can apply for Permanent Residency. Best part is, they get it.

but some very good counterfieters r really good.
i overheard during lunch: a foreign worker agent said to this one employer to employ FWs :: "some people actually sits on behalf of u for ur exams. some have "internal affairs" uni admin office clerks to help take the stacks of real unnamed paper degree with the chopping stamp for agencies to process."so good that even can trace until the official computer systems of the university have the admission entry of the fakers. just like having "u" in the yearbook.
with money, anything is possible. -
When it reach 6.5 million, the value of going to be triple or even more.

Those extremely qualified excuses are "They didn't know what to do because you did not do a proper handover of work to them."
