Monash University and all others associated with it have maintained from Day Zero that Monash in Malaysia is a branch campus, and that therefore studying at Monash in Malaysia is no different from being at the main campus in Clayton, Victoria.

Now however, in defence of the decision to take disciplinary action against students who participate in the upcoming Bersih 5 rally, Monash has asserted, even while apologising "unreservedly" for that decision:

"...Monash was acting well within its rights as the constitution of a private higher educational institution contains prohibitions on a student in any manner associating with any society, association, organisation, body or group, unless allowed by the Registrar General, whether or not it is established under any law and whether it is within or outside Malaysia."
Obviously, Monash Malaysia has a separate existence, separate and apart from Monash in Malaysia.Therefore, it cannot be considered a "branch campus". Not being part of Monash , but using the Monash name and style  pursuant to some branding arrangement, students graduating from Monash in Malaysia cannot be  "admitted to the degree " of any  course of study offered by Monash.
Degrees awarded pursuant to any course of study at Monash in Malaysia are probably worthless.
