ON Aug 10, the then deputy health minister Datuk Dr Noor Azmi Ghazali announced that enforcement officers from his ministry and other government agencies would take stern action on anyone who tries to forge the digital Covid-19 vaccination certificate in the MySejahtera app.

It has been reported that anti-vaxxers are willing to fork out at least RM1,000 to obtain forged vaccination certificates in an effort to enjoy the “freedom” given to those who are fully vaccinated, “The threat of fake vaccine certs” (The Star, Aug 25).
