listed under the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).

He was commenting on recent
challenges by certain parties, about his PhD from Newport University in
California, United States which confers the title "Doctor," on the
basis that it was not recognized by the MQA.
The Perlis Umno Liaison chairman
told reporters after a breaking of fast function with the media yesterday that
he was puzzled why the issue was raised only after 10 years.
"Some say I bought the PhD,
which I worked very hard to obtain. It wasn't easy," said Md Isa, who is
also Bintong assembly man.
He added that the Newport
University, had ISO 9001:1994, EN ISO 9001:1994 and ANSI/ASQC Q9001:1994 under
the Llyod's Register Quality Assurance Limited, and was renamed as Janus
University in 2011.
"I'm not a medical doctor
and I don't care if people do not call me by the title. The important thing is I studied for and obtained an
internationally recognized doctorate," Md Isa concluded.
