The Murder Suspect and His PHd

Razak Baginda gets doctorate from Oxford – Malaysian Insider
He was a murder accused once but Razak Baginda is now Dr Abdul Razak Baginda.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 11 – Political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda, who was at the centre of a high-profile trial for abetment in the murder of a Mongolian woman until his acquittal late last year, has been awarded a Doctorate of Philosophy in International Relations by Oxford University, one of the world’s top universities.
Dr Abdul Razak, 49, told Bernama here today that he submitted his doctorate dissertation in September 2006 but the university put it on hold because of his arrest two months later in connection with the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu.
“When I was acquitted and released from prison on Oct 31 last year, I wrote back to the university, they revived the whole process and early this year they told me that I had passed and been awarded the Doctorate of Philosophy (DPhil). At Oxford, the Doctorate is called DPhil and is equivalent to PhD in other universities,” said Dr Abdul Razak.
He said in October, he would take up an appointment as a senior associate member of St Anthony’s College at the university.
In this capacity, he will undertake research on international issues.
Dr Abdul Razak, who studied at Oxford’s Trinity College in preparation for his doctorate, said he hoped more Malaysians would strive to study at top universities.
“There have been very few Malaysians who made it to Oxford, fewer still who obtained DPhil and even fewer among them are Malays,” he said.
He also said he was in the midst of writing a book of his life with the focus on his 22 months under remand in the Sungai Buloh Prison during the trial.
Two policemen, Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri, 33, and Corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, 37, who were charged for the murder were found guilty and sentenced to death. Both have appealed against the conviction and sentence. – Bernama

I agree…..this guy has no scruples whatsoever.

With the Atlantuya murder still haunting the nation, he has the audacity to call up the National News Agency, Bernama to bleat that he had obtained a doctorate. And he goes on to say that very few Malays have obtained a DPhil from Oxford. Even in faraway England, the Mother of Democracy, he cant help himself from being a racist.

This statement has some very serious implications:

1. that he is a very smart person amongst the Malays only ( but not a smart Malaysian );

2. that Malays are generally inferior academically compared to their non-Malay brethren;

3. that obtaining a Phd from other Universities are a waste of time. As one reader commented, " Pandai lah kamu, Baginda”

Instead of keeping his gap shut and offer continuous prayers for his salvation, he chose to brag about his academic achievements. Whats wrong with this guy? Has his detention in Sg Buloh Prison got anything to do with it?

And oh yes...lets not forget that he swore a Statutory Declaration ( SD) that he had an affair with the poor lady! Academically,you are a Phd holder but what are you morally? Kindergarten perhaps ?

And what kind of a Muslim are you?

Wouldn’t the SD suffice for the Syariah guys to haul him up for khalwat, berzina or whatever?

And why continue to impart your knowledge to an English audience? As one reader commented, the English people are already smart enough la. Come to Malaysia lah and teach in one of those Universities where there are a lot of Malays like UiTM, UUM etc.

But then again, come to think of it, our modern and progressive Malaysian Malays no longer think along racial lines like you and they might not welcome you either.

So you better stay in England la........ eat English food, wear white man’s clothes, drink white man’s wine, ride a German BMW or Porsche, speak English with a twang, screw white woman and then come back home and pretend to be a Malaysian Malay Nationalist and tell us how Malaysians should behave!!!

Tell me, isnt there a limit for hypocrisy in Bolehland?
