Iris Koh (left) and Jipson Quah (right) each face one charge of conspiracy to cheat and have been remanded for further investigations.
Iris Koh, the founder of controversial anti-vaccine group Healing the Divide, was charged on Sunday (Jan 23) with working with a doctor to cheat the Ministry of Health (MOH) over fake vaccination records.
Koh, 46, is accused of conspiring with Jipson Quah between July last year and January this year to trick MOH into believing that people were vaccinated against Covid-19 with Sinopharm when they had not been.
Court documents showed that the ministry then issued these people — who were not identified — certifications of vaccination, which was “likely to cause harm to MOH in reputation”.
Quah, 33, a general practitioner, and his assistant Thomas Chua Cheng Soon, 40, were also charged on Friday afternoon.
Both men are said to have conspired with someone, identified as Mehrajunnisha in court documents, between last month and this month to update the MOH’s Patient Risk Profile Portal and indicate that Mehrujunnisha had been vaccinated with Sinopharm.
This led to MOH issuing a vaccination certificate for Mehrujunnisha in the contact tracing mobile application TraceTogether.
