Current top plagiarism
technique used by Malaysian undergraduate and post graduate
students! As parents, would you be concerned?
Today’s article is sensational! A few online friends of ours have
disclosed that plagiarism has reached new heights here in Malaysia.
In the past, plagiarism would be limited to copying materials from
hardcopies or the internet. But now, Malaysian plagiarists have
relied upon a new method that if we look at it closely might not be
legally wrong!
I am not sure how and where they got this idea in the first place
but it must have its origins somewhere from the internet somehow.
Malaysian are known to be copycats, hence it is more likely that
they copied this method from somebody else most probably from those
outside of Malaysia. I’m sure that you are wondering what this hype
is all about but believe me, I do have concerns of my own about
disclosing this technique today. Today’s disclosure might create a
tsunami wave of new plagiarists here in Malaysia and that is
something that I personally feared dreadfully! However, I hope and
pray that today’s disclosure would be read by concerned parents and
higher learning institutions so that they would know what they are
dealing with nowadays.
All right, what is this new top plagiarism technique you might
ask? It still got something to do with the internet but it is not
like what you ordinary might expect. Expert plagiarists have now
relied upon materials classified as Public Domain to help them in
their infamous acts of plagiarism. So what is Public Domain in the
first place? Public Domain refers to any type of publications such
as writings, arts, music and inventions that have no proprietary or
legal jurisdictions. In another word, Public Domain materials can be
used and exploited by anyone whether it is for commercial or
non-commercial purposes. How is this possible? There are a number of
reasons why certain publications goes into the Public Domain
classification:
Expiration of copyright, patent or any other types of
proprietary restrictions and they were not renewed,
The original author or publisher failed to provide
satisfactory statutory formalities to complete the copyrighting
requirements or
They are produced by governments.
We were told that expert plagiarists in Malaysia are heavily
looting Public Domain digital libraries and vaults, looking for
technical Public Domain Ebooks and Journals that have some
resemblance with their working term papers or thesis. Once found,
they would later use them to fill in the blanks, complete their own
shoddy term papers or thesis and proudly claim ownership once
completed! How blunt can that be!
Amazing isn’t it? If this is what our Malaysian graduates have
been doing while they were in campus, no wonder then there were so
many of them especially those among the Malays who failed miserably
in living up to the expectations of their corporate employers in the
private sector. In the end, they would all queue up in numbers
looking for jobs in the public sectors instead. Luckily for them,
they have an easy way out.
Now that you knew what some of our Malaysian kids are doing in
campus, where do you stand? As parents, would you be concerned?
