eh... nay... i may stop at nothing to make money, but i've got a
sense of decency u know...
smart and cunning is one thing... this is plain cheating. why call
the site studysingapore.com when it is a site promoting education
in malaysia? well, the operator may argue that they intend to
include Sg institutions in future, but presently, the only have one
participating institution and its in malaysia.
besides, if they were in a mind to expand in the future, why not
register for www.studyasia.com outright? if the domain is not
available, they could always go for another variation.
their current domain serves no other purpose than to mislead the
gullible.
and why plaster pictures of the lion before their flag?
even though the lion is intended for informal use, i do believe
that this contravenes the MICA guidelines for its use.

a few questions comes to mind now...
(1) did they ask permission to use it?
(2) if so, did they ask permission to modify it?
(3) where is the website hosted?
(4) can we get them to remove it?
well, we can't do much about the url, unless somebody decides to
sue them for deceptive advertising.
but its obvious that they have not adhered to the forms of the
guidelines in displaying OUR national symbol on the website.
this, i think, is a serious issue.
