North Korea's premier, Kim Jong Un, was conferred an honorary doctorate for Economics by a Malaysian university.

The president of the private Malaysian university, HELP, handed over the certificate and costume to the North Korean ambassador at a ceremony in Kuala Lumpur, reported the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

The North Korean news agency also reported the institute's president, Dr. Paul Chan, saying that it was his honour to award the degree to Kim Jon Un.

The president, who is also the institution's founder, hopes to develop cooperation between the DPRK and Malaysia in the field of education.

According the tertiary institute's website, it was founded in 1986, and "offers a wide and diverse range of programs covering business, law, management, economics, IT, social sciences and the humanities at undergraduate and graduate levels."

The founder read economics in the University of Malaya and completed his PhD at the Australian National University (ANU). He was also the Chairman of the Applied Economics Division in the University of Malaya.

He was also inducted into the ANU's Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame in recognition of his achievements in entrepreneurship.

In a statement by Dr. Chan that was reported by the Foreign Policy he says, "To me, the conferment of an Honorary Doctorate to His Excellency President Kim Jong Un is building a bridge to reach the people.

"I hope that using this 'soft constructive' approach we can help them and North Asia and the world to be a better place for mankind."

"I anticipate that it is a matter of time, within the next 6 years or so, that DPR Korea will engage the world in many constructive ways.

"I am just a bit ahead of them in that I feel no one at this moment has the courage to do this though their hearts tell them to do so."

"But let's start with offering education opportunities to the people of this country with the support of their President. Why deny them? Why punish them with sanctions? The people are hungry for education to change their lives. Give it to them."

Kim Jong Un is also the first foreign head of state to receive the degree by the university.

Rodman, 52, paid a second visit to North Korea in September and described Kim as "a good friend."

In an interview with The Sun, the flamboyant former Chicago Bulls star said he spent seven days on Kim's private island.

"It's like going to Hawaii or Ibiza, but he's the only one that lives there," Rodman said. "He likes people to be happy around him.

"He's got 50 to 60 around him all the time - just normal people, drinking cocktails and laughing the whole time.

"If you drink a bottle of tequila, it's the best tequila," he added. "Everything you want, he has the best."

Kim's 200-foot yacht is a "cross between a ferry and a Disney boat," Rodman said.

Rodman was returning to North Korea seven months after he initially went to Pyongyang to make a documentary about basketball - of which Kim is a huge fan - and there have been suggestions that a basketball match might help to spur diplomatic discussions on reintegrating North Korea back into global society.

Human rights organisations, however, are demanding that more pressure be brought to bear on the regime, which spent $645.8 million on luxury goods in 2012.

The imports included exotic pets, perfume, maternity products and bathroom fittings, according to a report presented to the South Korean parliament in early October.

Imports of bottles of high-end alcohol alone cost $30 million, with electronic goods costing the state $37 million and luxury watches a further $8.2 million.

In early October, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation said North Korea remains one of the 34 nations in the world that require external aid to feed its people. The agency estimates that around 2.8 million "vulnerable" people in the North required foreign assistance ahead of the autumn

KNN............ a leader of a country and MY only gave him the title of honorary doctorate

 

At least Tan Sri Kim ... [sly]

 

Tan Sri Kim has to be given by the King lo.......this one is from some private university.

 

IMO, this is more of a publicity & marketing stunt by the university so as to gain some free media coverage and discussion,
