Brilio.net - A few days ago, Raffi Ahmad was happy after receiving an Honorary Doctorate or Doctor Honoris Causa (Dr.HC). It is known that the campus that awarded the title is the Universal Institute of Professional Management (UIPM) in Thailand.
Unfortunately, the acceptance of the title is now reaping pros and cons. This is because Raffi Ahmad never received an education at a university, therefore some parties consider him less worthy of getting a doctorate.

Curious about the UIPM campus, one netizen in Thailand immediately looked for the address. The netizen, known as Nia Ibrahim, shared her search via her X account @ibrahimNiar.
In the upload, she tried to investigate the UIPM address listed, namely Vibharadi-Rangsit 64 Yeak 3. To get to the address, Nia used public transportation.
"As a +62 citizen living in Bangkok, I am curious about the campus that gave the Doctor Honoris Causa to aa @RaffiAhmadLagi. Here is a guideline on how to get to the campus from the Ratchatewi bus stop. Take the blue bus no. 29. Get off at the Grand Miracle Hotel bus stop," explained Nia, quoted by brilio.net , Monday (30/9).

After traveling for some time, Nia finally arrived at the address of Jalan Vibharadi-Rangsit 64. Then she immediately looked for a building that was thought to be the UIPM campus.
"This is what the entrance to the UIPM campus in Thailand looks like. You can see Vibharadi-Rangsit 64. We walk in," he said.

After finding the address, the woman did not find a campus building, Nia only found a hotel. To make sure she was not mistaken, Nia reconfirmed the address with the officer in the building. Indeed, the address she was going to was a place to stay.
"Taraaaa~ we arrived at Vibharadi-Rangsit 64, Yeak 3
Which turned out to be... Hotel
"I went in and asked the receptionist about the truth of the address on the UIPM website. It turned out it wasn't a campus.." he added.
Not getting the right facts, Nia asked Raffi Ahmad for the correct campus address.
"So is it true that the campus office is in Bangkok or Bekasi or Russia or the US or all of them a @RaffiAhmadLagi?" Nia wrote.

The campus search upload garnered various comments from netizens. One user X associated it with positions and politics .
"What's he doing with getting that title anyway, maybe he's going to be given a position," wrote the account @wienld.
"Honestly, this is a suspicion, Sis... You can see there is a photo of him with the current president... We never knew but just predicted," answered Nia.
"Netizens are really good at searching. It seems like Raffi didn't expect anyone to come directly to his campus hahaha," added the account @lattexe.
