Malaysian Covid-19 vaccination certificates being sold online: Report​

JAN 19, 2022

PETALING JAYA (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Malaysian Covid-19 vaccination certificates are being sold online, with some going for as high as RM3,500 (S$1,130).
Among the unvaccinated buyers are those who are desperate to obtain the certificates due to strict requirements set by their employers and those seeking to travel abroad, The Star found.
Errant clinics that provide "suntikan kosong" (empty jabs) can be found on social media platforms such as Facebook and Telegram.
The potential buyers will be asked to provide their full name, identity card number and MySejahtera number to obtain digital certificates within seven to 14 days.
Those who buy in bundles of five or more will be given a discount.
The seller also guarantees that all information pertaining to the transaction will be kept private.
A check by The Star saw a couple of sellers offering vaccination certificates.

​

A doctor, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Star that these certificates are genuine, and the only thing the buyers will not be getting is their jabs.
Explaining this, the source said, clinics authorised to administer Covid-19 jabs would be given access to the Malaysia Vaccine Administration System (MyVAS).
"It is easy to get the certificate, all the doctor needs to do is to register your particulars in the system and that's it. You can get your physical and MySejahtera digital certificates straight away.


"If you log on to the system, everything will look the same, it will have the vaccine batch number, the clinics where they got the jabs and even the name of the doctor who administered the vaccination.
"So if the police manage to find those who admit to buying their certificates, they can find the sellers using this information.
"But if there's no proof of transaction and the buyers don't admit to buying the certs, it will be very difficult to know who had obtained the certificates illegally," the doctor said.
The source said doctors were only required to return empty vials to prove that the vaccination had been duly administered.
"There are many ways for them to cheat, the doctor can simply discard the vaccine and return the empty vials.


The Health Ministry, however, would be able to detect any abuse based on the number of vaccinations administered and stock delivered to the vaccination centres.
“For example, if a clinic received 1,000 vials of Pfizer, it can administer the vaccine to 6,000 people, but if they were to key in more in the system, say 6,050, this would raise suspicion,” the doctor said.
On Jan 17, Johor police busted a syndicate offering Covid-19 digital certificates at up to RM650 each.
Police arrested eight people including three employees of a private clinic.
Johor police chief Commissioner Datuk Kamarul Zaman Mamat said the syndicate, which has been operating for about a month, has issued digital certificates to at least 30 people by charging up to RM650 each.
"All those who purchased these certificates are anti-vaxxers who refused the immunisation," he said during a press conference.
Datuk Kamarul revealed that the first arrest was made on Jan 17 when police carried out a series of raids in the city.


Police have also seized an array of items including a laptop used to register the people in the MySejahtera system and several mobile phones containing the digital certificates.
All the suspects aged from 24 to 42 have been remanded.
Asked if any doctors or medical personnel were involved, Datuk Kamarul said investigations are ongoing.
Federation of Private Medical Practitioners' Associations Malaysia president Steven KW Chow urged for strong and immediate action to be taken against all those involved.
"If a registered medical practitioner is proven to be involved, the offending doctor should be struck off the register after due process and never be allowed to practise as a doctor ever again."
Malaysian Medical Association president Koh Kar Chai said issuing fake vaccine certificates is a serious offence which could put countless lives in danger.
"It is shocking that more than 5,000 vaccination certificates were issued by the clinic located in Gombak to individuals without giving vaccinations. We will not allow a few black sheep to tarnish the good name and reputation of the profession," he added.
Medical Practitioners Coalition Association of Malaysia president Raj Kumar Maharajah suggested that private practitioners should not be allowed to carry out vaccinations anymore.
He added: "Those who pay these doctors for fake vaccination certificates should be charged with bribery."

Covid-19 vaccination status of 1,223 people blocked in latest fake cert probe in Malaysia​

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian authorities have uncovered another fake Covid-19 vaccination certificate ring in north-eastern Terengganu state, just days after police in Johor smashed a similar syndicate.
In the latest case, the vaccination status of 1,223 people in Terengganu was blocked by health officials.
State police chief Rohaimi Mohd Isa said that all had paid a doctor in a private clinic in Marang district to obtain a fake certificate without being vaccinated.
The 1,223 were in a list of 1,900 people who had dealt with the clinic for the purpose of vaccination.
"From investigations so far, I can say that nearly everyone who dealt with the clinic did not accept the vaccine," Mr Rohaimi was quoted as saying by The Malaysian Insight news website.
"Once the investigations and due process in courts prove these vaccine certificates were fake then we will clean up the MySejahtera list to make sure that those who are proven to have bought them will be taken off the list," Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin told a news conference on Thursday (Jan 20). He was referring to Malaysia's Covid-19 tracking app.
The list of names was seized from the clinic when police arrested the doctor on January 8. The suspect is believed to have embarked on the racket in September after his clinic was approved to administer the Covid-19 vaccine.

​

He was reported to have been paid between RM400 (S$128) and RM600 for each certificate without actually administering the injection.
The doctor was exposed by customers who had paid for fake certificates but whose vaccination status were not changed in their MySejahtera applications.
On Monday, Johor police busted a syndicate offering Covid-19 digital certificates at up to RM650 each. Eight people, including three employees of a private clinic, were arested.
Johor police chief Commissioner Datuk Kamarul Zaman Mamat said the syndicate, which had been operating for about a month, has issued digital certificates to at least 30 people by charging up to RM650 each.
Another similar case recently involved a clinic in Gombak, in the state of Selangor, where police arrested six workers and the owner of a polyclinic.
Selangor police chief Arjunaidi Mohamed said the polyclinic initially charged RM3,000 for a certificate, but then reduced it to RM500 due to competition from other clinics.
The polyclinic allegedly threw away the vaccines and returned the empty bottles to the health ministry to cover its tracks.
"Checks on confiscated laptops showed 5,601 patients have been registered as vaccine recipients in the MySejahtera system. Further investigations are underway to identify the number of people who were registered without receiving their jabs," Datuk Arjunaidi was quoted as saying by the Malay-language Berita Harian newspaper on Jan 17.
Malaysia reported a spike in Covid-19 infections on Thursday with 3,764 fresh cases, Health Director-General Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said. This is the highest tally since December 30 which recorded 3,997 cases.

I have been using a fake Covid vaccine pass for the last 2 months with no issues whatsover.

The establishments that are required to check vaccination status just go through the motion they are far more interested in earning my $$$ than establishing whether or not I am actually vaccinated.

Usuallee they are caught not during the checking vaccine pass process but by sda when they walk around to random check.

SINGAPORE - The Ministry of Health (MOH) is investigating a doctor at Wan Medical Clinic in Bedok for falsifying Covid-19 vaccination records, and is suspending four clinics linked to him.
It is also investigating the clinic for allegedly offering "remote" antigen rapid test (ART) pre-event testing, in partnership with Iris Koh, the founder of anti-vaccine group Healing the Divide.
MOH said on Sunday (Jan 23) that it was looking into the clinic following anonymous feedback in December 2021.
The clinic was said to have allowed individuals to submit pre-recorded videos or photos showing them performing a self-administered pre-event ART. It would then upload a negative ART result for these individuals.
Under the Infectious Diseases (Antigen Rapid Test Providers) Regulations 2021, pre-event testing must be conducted in real time, in the presence of a registered medical practitioner or qualified self-administered test supervisor.
MOH also found that the clinic's doctor, 33-year-old Jipson Quah, had allegedly falsified vaccination records for individuals who had not actually received the vaccine.
Quah did this by submitting false information to the National Immunisation Registry to indicate that Covid-19 vaccines had been administered to these individuals, when they had in fact not received such vaccinations.

By doing so, the individuals would then be considered as vaccinated and eligible for all vaccination-differentiated safe management measures.
Quah had also allegedly submitted a false positive ART result to the Patient Risk Profile Portal, a national healthcare system used by doctors to upload ART results and other patient information.
This was done so that the unvaccinated patient could obtain recovered status and consequently be exempted from vaccination-differentiated safe management measures.


Ms Koh is alleged to have referred clients, believed to be members of her group, to the clinic.
MOH lodged a police report on Friday (Jan 21).
The police have since arrested and charged Quah and his 40-year-old clinic assistant Thomas Chua.
Koh was charged on Sunday (Jan 23) with an offence of criminal conspiracy to cheat.
Unsupervised pre-event testing is against the law and offenders could face a jail term of three months, a fine of $5,000, or both.
To safeguard public health and ensure that clinic practices are in line with national Covid-19 policies and regulations, MOH said it has issued notices of suspension to four medical clinics licensed to Quah or where he was a clinic manager, pending the outcome of investigations.
The clinics are: Wan Medical Clinic in Bedok, Mayfair Medical Clinic in Woodlands, Mayfair Medical Clinic in Chong Pang, and Ong Clinic and Surgery in Yishun.
MOH has also revoked the ART approval for the clinics.
It added that it would be referring Quah to the Singapore Medical Council for further investigations.
