Would appreciate it if somebody can enlighten us with information of the ACADEMIC (hopefully it is not just POLITICAL) credentials of the DPP. I can’t seem to find anything online.

According to Ranking Web of World Universities, January 2010, Mahidol is ranked 4th in the Top SE Asia Universities.
Perhaps, Pornthip had meant top 5 in SE Asia. Obviously, none of Malaysian universities is anywhere near Mahidol.
