KOTA KINABALU: Doctors caught issuing fake vaccination certificates should have their practising licence revoked.
Wanita MCA Sabah Chairperson Datuk Dr Pamela Yong said it was disheartening that certain doctors were profiteering from the issuance of vaccination certificates.
"The recent bust of two private clinics offering fake vaccination certificates has been a disappointing revelation.
"In addition, it was reported that clinics previously charged up to RM3,500 for this service, and only reduced the price to around RM500 "due to competition", implying that many more clinics are involved," she said in a statement.
Yong, who is also MCA deputy secretary general, said by engaging in these unethical practices, the doctors have broken the highly sacred and revered Hippocratic Oath, putting their own material gain above public health.
By allowing unvaccinated individuals to roam freely, the doctors were giving individuals a false sense of security while endangering others including unvaccinated children.
She added the doctors were in breach of their professional conduct at the highest level and must be admonished and banished from this esteemed profession without recourse.
"Perhaps, their names should even be blacklisted in an international registry so they cannot practice in other countries.
"Hence, I support the call by the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) to urge the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) to revoke the practising licence of those found guilty."
On reports that falsified Covid-19 vaccination certificates were available for sale online, she said the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) should block and shut down such sites once the link is traced as such sites may not appear with just a simple google search.
