Of the 10, Ismail said four were from Sarawak, two each from Melaka and Sabah, and one each from Perak and Kelantan.

“One of the persons charged in Sarawak was found guilty by the courts and was jailed,” he said in response to a question from Shaharizukirnain Abd Kadir (PAS-Setiu).

The deputy home minister said those found falsifying their vaccine certificates can be charged under Section 22(d) of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act (Act 342) for giving false information to the authorities.

Under Section 24 of Act 342, those found guilty can be punished with a maximum fine of RM10,000, or a prison sentence of not more than seven years, or both.

The authorities may also fine them, with corporations liable to a fine of up to RM50,000.

Khoo Poay Tiong (PH-Kota Melaka) also asked if there was any update on a probe on doctors updating the MySejahtera profiles of unvaccinated individuals for a fee and if the doctors involved had been identified.

Ismail said he did not have the details with him and would provide a written answer later.
