State commercial crime investigation department head E Sundra Rajan said the 27-year-old woman was arrested at about 2pm on Aug 18 when she went to the clinic to receive her second dose.

She was found using the MySejahtera Covid-19 vaccine registration in the name of a male employee of a printing company in Cheng here, he said in a statement today.

He said the man, who is in his 30s and a foreign national, only realised that his identity had been used by someone else when he checked the information on his MySejahtera application and found that it had been updated and that he had received the first dose.

“The victim then complained of the matter to his superior, who then lodged a police report,” Sundra Rajan said.

He said with the woman’s arrest, police seized a Covid-19 vaccination card under her name and a few other documents, believed to be forged, and a handphone.

The clinic had obtained approval from the health ministry to administer the Covid-19 vaccination, he said, adding that the woman was in remand for 17 days until Sept 4.
