HELP for Kim Jung-un

A recent blog post here at Morning Star News reminded us all just how backwards interactions with North Korea really are when it was reported that the North Korea dictator was awarded an honorary PhD in economics for his so called "untiring efforts for the education of the country and the well-being of its people." This doctorate was awarded to Dear Leader by the Malaysian college of HELP which stands for Higher Education Learning Philosophy. As a struggling college student myself I can only stare in awe at the sheer disrespect that Malaysia has for their doctorates if they are willing to give them out to a man who has shown 0 honest efforts to improve the North Korean economy (which remains at an estimated 1,200$/per person each year vs the 25,00 of South Korea). This awarding of a PhD was done in efforts to "create a bridge between peoples" and was claimed as "being a road untraveled" which appears to have been untraveled for a reason! Handing out an award such as this to a man who has done nothing but create waves at the international stage is nothing short of validating a madman's work. Kim Jung-un is not someone who we as a people should be encouraging and with this ceremony having been completed, we can only look on in disappointment as the Hermit Kingdom uses their leader's new found PhD in order to validate their continued isolationist policies and totalitarian regime.
