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:

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.

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.
