http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/private-education/files/edp-list/edp-a-l.doc

plus some explanation here http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/private-education/edp-list/

Since it is rather hard to find an item you want from the list, I create the following search pages

http://www.google.com.sg/webhp?hl=en&tab=iw&q=site:moe.gov.sg/education/private-education/files/edp-list/edp-a-l.doc

http://www.google.com.sg/webhp?hl=en&tab=iw&q=site:moe.gov.sg/education/private-education/files/edp-list/edp-m-t.doc

http://www.google.com.sg/webhp?hl=en&tab=iw&q=site:moe.gov.sg/education/private-education/files/edp-list/edp-u-z.doc

if you click any of the items above, you will see a Google search window; type the university/degree/local organization name at the front of the window, before the word "site", leaving one space in between, and click Gooble search, then click "view as html" on the next page, and you will get a cached copy of the document with the search word highlighted. You can also search for other words in the html file using the browser search facility (normally a button within Edit). Working with html is more convenient than downloading the doc files into a word file and using the search tool there.

Since this is currently newsy, I provide the following search button http://news.google.com/news?q=benny+yap 

As a matter of fact, I met him a few times when he was starting his new school, soon after he resigned from Informatics;, I was at the time an (unpaid) advisor to another organization thinking of starting such a venture, but eventually did not. Because of the brief association, I once even received an email from a prospective student asking about Brookes University in UK, to which I gave a vague reply that there are some organizations without campuses and staff that give degrees, and their value is up to the market to determine.
