All hungry for jobs lack integrity in some way.
Let's be clear. Your argument is logcially flawed. 4.01 and 4.4 are both legitimately second upper at NUS. Its just too bad that the honours ranking system is not sensitive enough to provide bands for every 0.1 difference in GPA. But that's the employer's problem, and I doubt most employers make such minute distinctions in GPA anyway.

But passing off SIM as a genuine LSE degree is simply dishonest and raises lots of questions about the person's personal ethic. At the very least, it implies that he is willing to fudge the truth even when it is clear that he will be very easily exposed. No, recruiting is not simply a "game" when you insist on shooting yourself in the foot like that.

Thankfully, its easy enough to tell who is genuine and who isn't on paper alone, without even the interview. A real LSE degree holder will have a CV like RJC/Hwachong/NJC --> LSE. An obvious SIM degree holder will be more like poly/lower-tier JC --> "LSE".
