Construction company director gets jail over forged training certificates

SINGAPORE: The director of a construction company was sentenced to three weeks' jail after paying for forged training certificates, the Ministry of Manpower said on Monday .

In April 2016, Ko was informed by one of his foreign employees that they knew how to obtain forged Building Construction Safety Supervisor Course certificates , MOM said. "AMI entered the false BCSS records into MOM's training record system to indicate that Ko's foreign employees had attended the BCSS course," the ministry said.MOM uncovered the forged certificates and false records in June 2016 during its routine surveillance of training providers.

Since 2021, 15 people have been jailed under Section 53 of the Workplace Safety and Health Act for possessing forged certificates.

Kudo to uphold the workplace safety! What action was taken against the shareholders/owners of AMI Consulting who provided forged certificates? Isn't it more appalling that training provider accredited by MoM is the source of blatant disregard of human lives?
