What is CMI trying to hide?
A financial cover up?
Its time for CMI to come clean
When a company wont answer questions and tries to divert attention away from these questions, there is usually something to hide. Many months ago I exposed a number of irregularities concerning lack of MQA accreditation of diplomas, the insolvency of the company that is handling the issue of these diplomas, and some pertinent questions about the structure of the company itself. This led to a total refusal of representatives of CMI to answer these questions.
In a letter from their representative Michen Del Reya on April 11, they stated as follows below:
In complying with their request, the writer submitted a list of questions and offered right of reply, so any misunderstandings, if any could be put forward to the readers. This is the reply I received on April 22;
Dear Mr Hunter
Our client will not be responding to your litany of questions, which betray how misguided, inapplicable, and incorrect your position is. The CMI is confident that it has complied with all of its legal and regulatory duties. It is deeply regrettable that you have failed to retract your false and defamatory statements, and that you continue to publish the personal data of CMI directors despite the fact that we have put you on notice of the concerns we have for their and their families' safety and wellbeing. Our client's rights against you remain expressly reserved.
Yours faithfully
Mishcon de Reya LLP
Here is a link to the original article, which I still stand by:
Selling Certificates - The UK diploma mill in Malaysia
The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) is a UK charity promoting management training. Its wholly-owned subsidiary in the UK is engaged in “selling student registrations on commercial terms”, according to its 2023 Annual Report.
On a social media site Linkedin, there are a couple of posts presumably written by the chairman of the CMI Asia-Pacific Committee Mohamed Mustafa Ishak, (at least, the one below), .
Previously, another post was made on the subject;
It appears CMI has decided to enter the public arena on the issues I have brought up. CMI also questions my journalistic integrity.
What must be noted is that CMI has made no attempt to answer any of the allegations directly. CMI has tried to divert and deflect the issue towards defaming individuals as a means to cover-up financial issues. One can only assume that, as over the last six months CMI has done nothing to alleviate the concerns of their customers, who have contacted the author on the issue.
Finally of great concern is CMI’s appointment of an Asia-Pacific chairman Mohamed Mustafa Ishak, whose organization the National Professor Council and himself have been mentioned by Malaysia’s Auditor General regarding financial issues. It is understood the MACC is still investigating this issue. Please find more details in the article below.
Auditor-General’s shows the National Professors Council (NPC) is the epitamy of what's wrong with higher education
Malaysiakini has reported “The National Professors Council (NPC), a government-funded council of professors at Malaysian universities, has been found to have abused its funding, the Auditor-General Department found. This includes paying large allowances totalling RM207,000 to the permanent chairperson and deputy chairperson without ministerial approval.…
As I have said before, its time for CMI to set the record straight. The way CMI handles public relations doesn’t give confidence to potential future clients.
There are many questions CMI must publicly answer. Today, I add two more questions, INTEGRITY and TRANSPARANCY.

Hot shot Yahudi lawyers not suing.
How come?
wel whats the difference between their silence and that of Air Asia's when called upon to respond about its solvency and financial affairs in 2022? Air Asia continues as a public company to breach the Bursa and Companies law requirements to make timely disclosures on their finances and relevant events relating to their insolvency. Air Asia did not provide those timely disclosures and got away with it and continue to operate with impunity. When a government and the regulator creates such precedents of allowing rogues to thumb their noses at the law and regulations, all others will follow.
