FAKE Covid-19 vaccination certificates have been sold in Kedah, said health and local government committee chairman Dr Mohd Hayati Othman.

He said an investigation was underway to identify whether the sales were made by doctors at public or private health clinics.

“At present, I cannot reveal whether this case involves a government doctor or at a private health centre. This case is still under investigation by police and the Health Department,” he said today.

He added that the investigation will also try to identify whether the sale of fake vaccination certificates was linked to any groups operating in other states.

Yesterday, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said police had received reports from four states so far: Selangor, Terengganu, Johor and Kelantan regarding private clinics selling fake vaccination certificates.

On January 8, Terengganu police arrested a doctor at a private clinic on suspicion of issuing fake Covid-19 vaccine certificates in Marang. – Bernama, January 19, 2022.
