Agree on not sugar coating but you can encourage him to upgrade himself, not ask him to buy one. The phrasing used is not nice yeah. To be frank that degree paper (be it local/distance/wadever) is getting stale, I see tons of people coming in with Double Ds(hehe), Post Grad Dip, Masters and sometimes even all of them (!!).
Let's skip the debating about policies. Again I ask, has anyone ever heard of a poly grad with 7 years exp being appointed as Assistant Director? If there ever was one, he/she will be the talk of the town and the whole governement service would have heard of him. Until someone is able to cite evidence otherwise, he is not eligible for an AD job for all intents and purposes.

If he wants to upgrade himself personally he can choose whatever he has interest in at his own leisure, that has nothing to do with his question now. My advice still stands: if he wants to get into Div1 government job, go buy an accredited degree, i.e. get the cheapest recognised generic business degree that requires minimal/no studying involved.

There is no shame in buying degrees, it is just a piece of document like your NRIC to faciliate in performing certain transactions (in this case to get a Div1 government job).
