I don't know what are the criteria for one to be listed here, but it seems that it is quite arbitrary. Does one's brilliance measured solely by the recognition of one's works among the Christian community or include the secular academia? Or solely the secular academia?

On the other hand, if we are to create such a list for Southeast Asia academics, who will be in there and what are the criteria? Any suggestion?
