Marzuki Must Go Group Tells Dr M After Deputy Minister S Cambridge Degree Bombshell

---

“Is it acceptable now, because the subject is from their coalition?”
(MMO) – A democracy outreach organisation is holding Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad accountable for the appointment of Datuk Marzuki Yahya as deputy foreign minister after his recent “Cambridge” degree bombshell.
Demanding Marzuki’s resignation, Kuasa chief executive Praba Ganesan said Dr Mahathir as Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) chairman, must take responsibility for the issue since Marzuki is the party’s secretary-general.
“Marzuki Yahya must resign as deputy foreign minister, or failing to do so, forced to do so by the prime minister,” he said in a statement today.
Praba said the revelation that Marzuki obtained his degree from US-based Cambridge International University and not the prestigious, University of Cambridge, tarnishes the Malaysian government and compromises its integrity.
“He misled Malaysians when he said he would prove he graduated from Cambridge University, United Kingdom, only to reduce his plea to possessing qualifications from a farcical website-based entity.
“As the number two at Wisma Putra, he is a prominent face of Malaysia to the world and this development sends the wrong message about the state of reform and renewal in the country presently,” Praba said.
“Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad must assume responsibility regarding this matter especially since Marzuki is from his party, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM),” he added.
Praba also urged Pakatan Harapan backbenchers to speak up on the matter, reminding them that as Opposition members in the past, they had been relentless with the suspicious qualifications of the ministers and deputy ministers.
