Fire Nisha Padmanabhan from IDA

This is totally unfair and unacceptable, blacklist this woman from future jobs and punish the firm for hiring the woman.

Law must be equal for all, regardless of whether the accused is a Singaporean or a foreigner

ridiculous to keep

Dont xenophobia reach PAP HQ

Very sad for local Singaporean

Dishonet ppl should never work for govt agency.

If the allegation is proven to be true; she must be terminated. Please bear in mind constantly, the guiding principles of our Founding Fathers: this is a meritocratic country.

I cant fathom to why you would defend someone who has knowingly lied and cheated. This is a criminal offence under sec 420 of the criminal act, if I am not mistaken.

Do not set the precedent in hiring dishonest employee. you are going a great disservice to those who get into IDA through their hard work and genuine academic record. What a shame!

I believe that Singapore should still go by the 'meritocracy' system created by our forefather, LKY. If Miss Nisha is able to get a fake degree to work in the IDA, what use of the younger generation people, like me, studying so hard for?

Alot more questions needs to be answered. Sacking her is not the root of the problem. How many more of the similar cases is out there.

No fakers shall live off the hardships of true Singaporeans.

Singapore aims to be a meritrocratic society regardless of age, race, religion & education. But this person is not playing it evenly when she applied for her job with IDA. Shame on her.

Remember that effort and tons of money was invest in our people for high education, moral and integrity,by government to our people.

Guys...I don't understand the basis for this petition. It appears that there are false allegations made against Nisha Padmanabhan on her being dishonest and calling her names. However, look at the below statement made by IDA based on which she was open in declaring her MBA from Southern Pacific University. In my opinion, an agency like IDA has some strict protocols for conducting an investigation. IDA would not have retained her if they got a slightest indication that she is being dishonest. No need for them to come up with this statement supporting her in public. Hence, I am not sure where the question of dishonesty stems from. “Thank you for your patience. We have investigated and would like to share that Nisha Padmanabhan, a Singapore citizen who joined IDA in 2014, has a Bachelor’s degree from a reputable university and was recruited because of this Bachelor degree, extensive past work experience and good track record. Nisha pursued an MBA out of personal interest, and it was not a relevant certificate for her position in IDA though she was open about the fact that she had obtained it.Her MBA from Southern Pacific University was not a factor that contributed to her employment at IDA. In fact, 93.5% of all IDA staff that were hired at the level of Applications Consultant were based on their Bachelor’s degree. We would like to share that Nisha has been a committed team member and contributed in her role as an Applications Consultant for the past year. We would also like to take this chance to share that IDA selects employees based on a holistic set of criteria which includes their educational qualifications, work experience, individual career aspirations and personality traits.” Southern Pacific University might be an unaccredited institution, but the degree that she possesses is not a fake one as everyone is alleging. I have validated with some of my ex-colleagues who had their friends who did their courses from SPU. I understand that there were proper cr

The background to support this petition is from The Real Singapore??? Funny lah how people can still believe this bs! If IDA has given is word that the employee is good that should be good enough!

Seems like PAP IB going into overdrive on damage control as evidenced by the usual one sided and personal attack comments, void of substance. Sigh...sigh.....sigh....pathetic
