WITH the easing of restrictions, those who have been fully vaccinated are now able to enjoy certain social activities such as dining out. This has led to some unvaccinated individuals resorting to fraudulent measures to gain access to these perks.

Two weeks ago, The Star reported on private clinics rejecting requests from anti-vaxxers offering up to RM1,000 for fake vaccination certificates. Other unscrupulous parties forge vaccination certificates, steal others’ certificates, or ask friends to “lend” them their vaccination statuses to gain access to premises.
