Wow has the head of English academics started blogging here? This style of English is confusing. In terms of reviewing the college it does demonstrate the need for qualified foreign English language lecturers to help out but they must be qualified.

Answering her?

Yes we are 11 in total, two have received genuine lecturer work visa's and the first two that arrived six months before us in the college were somehow given lecturer visa's but continue to claim to be in the college as consultants. I recommend the visa office review exactly why they issued these two a visa when they do not work in academics and never actually give lecturers, are they really consultants, if yes then of course they must have consultant visa's after all they did do a deal with the MD to register a fee charging consulting agency?

Conflict of management interest, it is not legal for a managing director to be a partner or assist in setting up an external agency to operate within the college offering any type of fee attracting service to the college. Don't people get arrested when caught in corruption in Malaysia?

This duplicitous trio are in direct infringement of Malaysian law. If they conspired to set up a consulting agency to help the college and dip into college funds to get money why did they also go and spend two weeks working in China and picking up income for which they have not paid income tax into Malaysia and did the managing director get his share of that money? Somebody please explain what they actually do here.

Let us pretend I am a Malaysian tax payer and immigration officer and I ask the following questions.

Those two consultants and their agency partner the Managing Director are doing what for the college? The answer really is easy. They are taking the college as a cash cow while giving a paltry unneeded return.

Are the foreigners working on visitor visa's in the college? Yes, they are entering their 5th month of forced illegal employment.

Do they exit the country on visa runs and re-enter the country on visitor visa;s to continue working? Yes.

Does the college pay for the visa runs? No, the college insists that it does not pay.

Are they paying tax? The Managing Director takes tax from them at around 27 per cent of the monthly salary. He claims the college is paying it. This is unique as none of the foreigners are even registered as employed in Malaysia, they are registered here as on visitor vacations.

These two consultants brought all of us here through recruiting as a direct insistent request from the Managing Director for them to do so. They did not follow a correct recruitment process along with not checking our qualifications to confirm we are correctly qualified for a lecturing visa, no police clearance check, no checking of references. Are they HR staff, consultants, lecturers, somebody tell me what they actually are? Answer. These three, the manager and his two agency partners are among the highest paid staff in the entire college while all three of them glibly claiming they don't get much.

These three brought all of us here to this college, this current nightmare exists because they were recruiting under the insistence of a Managing Director whom ignored the advice of his own HR staff. HR do recruiting not two friends in joint ownership with an agency which is fleecing the college.

Do we believe they are real consultants and they and their Managing Director partner work very hard everyday for the good of the college and students?

One or two more lecturers might actually still get a lecturers visa but only for one subject, we are watching and waiting. If only one subject, will they be forced to lecture other subjects? Eventually yes.

The rest of the foreign team are being told to accept a visa for some other job such as a mentor or an assistant manager and then they must lecture academic classes. I caution the college about this because if the visa office has already refused lecturer's visa's because they are not qualified to be lecturers why does the management aim to deceive the government visa office and in turn put unqualified lecturers into college classrooms where fee paying students will receive unqualified lecturing?

This is easy to answer.

The Managing Director has reassured us he will call in favors from influential friends and fool or even force the Malaysian immigration into giving the none lecturer college visa's so that they can all work illegally as unqualified lecturers at a fraction of a real lecturers pay.

Malaysia, is this the example of a college management system which you want to show to the world?

Two of our group have quit, one walked out at the end of the first month, the other recently escaped and he is suing the college, two others gave notice to leave but were refused permission to leave by the Managing Director. Do not force foreign people to participate in criminality if we do not qualify, accept this fact. Let us leave.

Is it yet time to forward this web site to the Malaysian authorities?
