The saying goes "a person can be judged by the persons he/she is associated with". A university can be judged by the persons it awards doctorates to. Dr. MS is not alone now, here is Dr RW to keep company.

May another medical college - RAITM.

Harith Tuesday, 14 February 2017 02:50 PM

DM - those who are sarcastic about RW should better know that he had his basic degree from a Sri Lankan Uni. Not the way the two Rajapaksa's got them. Jayaraj

Bala Tuesday, 14 February 2017 01:01 PM

Add GMOA, IUSF and the Teachers Union to that list who are blocking good paid education in Sri Lanka itself.

Dee Tuesday, 14 February 2017 01:01 PM

If our worthless goons who protest on the street are called 'doctors' after they pass out, why not our PM? Miles apart. In every sense.

willows Tuesday, 14 February 2017 12:55 PM

ACCORDING TO GMOA, WE CAN GET ANY EXTERNAL DEGREE FROM OVERSEAS UNIVERSITIES, EITHER WE CRAM OR NOT , SIT OR STAND FOR THE EXAMINATIONS , FOR GOD SAKE NOT IN SRILANKA.

Thomas Tuesday, 14 February 2017 12:20 PM

The real reason is the contribution to the prosperity of Deakin by all politicians in Sri Lanka by making a total mess of local higher education.
