Meanwhile, the police have also confiscated some equipment including laptops, mobile phones as well as related documents, based on reports from Astro Awani.
Rozaimi said that the results of the initial investigation found that the suspect was selling the fake certs online.
He also added that the investigation found that there are customers with addresses in Kedah and Kuala Lumpur.
So far we believe there are more than 1,900 individuals involved in obtaining this fake vaccine certificate and it depends on the review later… maybe half are genuine, half (again) are not. We will work with the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) to evaluate or make an inspection of each MySejahtera which we will trace through the documents (that) we confiscated.

Unkempt in both stories and appearance, Hakim loves tech but tech left him on read, previously he used to write about tall buildings and unoccupied spaces that he can't afford, and legend has it that he still can't afford it to this day
