KUALA LUMPUR – Covid-19 vaccination certificates in the MySejahtera system cannot be duplicated because they use blockchain technology, which guarantees their authenticity, said Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.
However, he said that the recent forgery of vaccine certificates in Terengganu was due to the lack of integrity of irresponsible parties.
He added that the question of fake vaccination certificates can only arise if those handling vaccinations abuse their power and update the MySejahtera system without giving any injections.
“As we know, Terengganu police have uncovered fake vaccination certificates, believed to be masterminded by a private clinic doctor,” he said at International Islamic University Malaysia today.
Yesterday, Terengganu police arrested a doctor at a private clinic after he was suspected of issuing fake Covid-19 vaccination certificates in Marang.
Dr Adham said his ministry would leave it to police for further investigation and action.
He added that the latest blockchain technology was safe and protected the public's personal data, and the authenticity of Covid-19 vaccination certificates could not be doubted. – Bernama, January 11, 2022
