Police Intensify Operation Against Sale Of Fake Vaccination Cert

---

The police will intensify operations and monitoring in tracking down parties involved in selling fake Covid-19 vaccination certificates throughout the country.
Inspector-General of Police Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani (above) said he did not rule out the possibility that such syndicates also existed in states other than Terengganu.
“As such, I have instructed heads of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in the states, through Bukit Aman CID director (Abd Jalil Hassan) and Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department director (Mohd Kamarudin Md Din) to conduct intelligence work.
"This is to detect whether there are similar things (sale of fake vaccination certificates) happening in other places," he said when met after attending an education and early skills programme for autistic children at the Kuala Lumpur Police Training Centre today.
He said this when commenting on the sale of fake vaccination certificates in Marang, Terengganu.
Acryl Sani said so far, the police had only detected the case in Marang.
An investigation by the Terengganu police found that it was carried out by a male suspect and we are tracking if it happened in other states, he added.
He said the police viewed seriously the case as it hampered the government's efforts to control the spread of the coronavirus. 
“The police do not want to see the government's efforts and measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 be hampered because of the actions of some parties which could also threaten the country's image," he added.
Last Monday, Terengganu police chief Rohaimi Md Isa confirmed that a 51-year-old doctor was arrested at his clinic in a raid that was jointly carried out with the state Health Department following complaints from the public.
The suspect was remanded for three days since last Saturday for investigation under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating.
