KUALA LUMPUR: The Private Higher Educational Institutions Act 1996 or Act 555 need not be amended as the existing legal provisions are sufficient to curb the activities of awarding fake academic certificates, the Dewan Negara is told.
Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir (pic) said the existing law provides for a fine of up to RM200,000 or two years' imprisonment or both for individuals or institutions found to commit the offence.
