North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un can now add doctorate in Economics to his list of "accomplishments."



According to reports, the dictator was awarded the honorary doctorate by Malaysia's very own HELP University during a ceremony held at the North Korean embassy in Kuala Lumpur.

The reason for the award was apparently in recognition of Jong Il's “untiring efforts for the education of the country and the well-being of its people.”  (Are we sure they're referring to the right guy here?)

While it all sounds bogus, there could be another underlying reason behind the decision. The university's vice-chancellor and president said in a statement that it was part of their mission of “Education for Peace and Prosperity”, which would help North Korea, North Asia and the world to be a better place for mankind.
“It is a matter of time, may be within the next six years North Korea will engage the world in many constructive ways.

“When this happens probably an American president will rush to North Korea,”
The chancellor also stated it was an honour and historic event to award the honorary doctorate to Jong Un,  because the university was the only one who had the courage to give the award. Seems to us that this guy has been watching way too many North Korean propaganda films...
