The sale of fake Covid-19 vaccination certificates has been detected in Kedah, said State Health and Local Government Committee chairperson Dr Mohd Hayati Othman.
The Tokai assemblyperson said an investigation is underway to identify if the sale of the certificates was done by doctors at a government or private health clinic.
"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 the police and the state Health Department," he said when met by reporters after the state executive council meeting in Alor Setar today.
He said the investigation will also try to identify whether the sale of fake vaccination certificates is linked to any syndicate operating in other states.
Yesterday, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain reportedly said the police received reports from four states so far, Selangor, Terengganu, Johor, and Kelantan, regarding private clinics selling fake vaccination certificates.
On Jan 8, Terengganu police arrested a doctor at a private clinic on suspicion of issuing fake Covid-19 vaccine certificates in Marang.
