This advertorial was published on 23 August 2008 in New Straits Times. It was in honour of Raja Zarith Sofia Sofiah, a linguist and prolific writer. She does not deserve this kind of salutation.
I think KUiTTHO (Kolej Universiti Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn) does not deserve the university status.

well, this is politics, when u have power, u can get and do whatever u want.

Hi muse,
I am sorry to be misunderstood.
I have great respect towards YAM Raja Zarith Sofiah. She is a very eloquent writer, and I like to read her articles in the newspapers. I am a Johorean, and I am proud that my Tengku Mahkota has a very beautiful and intelligent consort. She is a great mother too.
What I meant in my post is that Raja Zarith Sofiah does not derserve such an ill-written salutation prepared by UTHO. The advertorial looks like a direct translation of its Malay version. I will be posting the Malay version soon.
I think Raja Zarith Sofiah deserves such recognition from an institute of higher learning, notwithstanding the fact that her husband is also the Chancellor.
My niece is also a graduate from UTHO. Personally, I think she would require extra effort to really improve her command of English. I hope my niece will progress well in her career.
And muse,
I write my blogs in English because I really want to improve my command of the language. I suggest that you do the same. For a start, avoid the abbreviations usually used in SMSes. Your comment, unfortunately, also carried some grammatical errors.
Hi Jurublog,
I feel comfortable reading your English.
