SINGAPORE - A workplace safety trainer who forged course certificates and safety passes for construction workers was sentenced to 10 months' jail last Thursday (Jan 18).

Ramanathan Thamilselvan, 52, a trainer at Work Safe Consultants, had sold Building Construction Supervisor Safety certificates and safety passes to workers without conducting any training and assessment, said the Ministry of Manpower in a statement on Wednesday.

He was charged under the Workplace Safety and Health Act, for the fraudulent practices that took place between January and March last year.

Last August, two directors from separate training providers were also sentenced to 10 months' jail under the Act.

Sellachamy Somasundaran of Maha Safety Training Centre and Md Abu Zahin Mostafizur of Pioneer Skill Training Centre were found to have also forged the course certificates and safety passes to workers between August and December 2015.

Under Section 53 of the Act, offenders may be fined up to $5,000 or jailed up to 6 months, or both.

In its statement, MOM said all fraudulent certificates issued by the three training providers have since been cancelled. It has also revoked their status as accredited training providers.

It added that the workers who bought the fraudulent certificates have been barred from carrying out supervisory roles. They will also not be allowed to renew their work pass upon expiry and are banned from working in Singapore.

The ministry added that it takes a "very serious view" of breaches to the Act, as it "directly affects workers' lives, safety and health".

Regular audits on the training providers are conducted to ensure full compliance and competency of the training providers, said MOM.

"Anyone who is aware of any malpractice by any training provider can notify MOM immediately via www.mom.gov.sg/contact-us," the ministry added.

Singapore
Lawyer fined S$10,000 for falsifying degree transcript

SINGAPORE: A 29-year-old lawyer has been fined S$10,000 for falsifying her law degree certificate and transcript so as to improve her chances of getting a job with the Singapore Legal Service.

Jaya Anil Kumar, who read law at the National University of Singapore, pleaded guilty to two charges of “fraudulently using as genuine a forged document”.

Another four similar charges were taken into consideration during sentencing.

Jaya had graduated from NUS in 2011 with second class honours (lower division), but doctored her certificate and transcript to read “second class honours (upper division)”.

She also admitted she had edited her transcript to reflect better grades than she had actually received.

Jaya was called to the Singapore Bar as an advocate and solicitor in July 2012.

When she applied to the Singapore Legal Service in January 2013, she submitted a genuine certificate, but forged the transcript to reflect better grades for 21 out of 27 subjects, a court heard.

Jaya’s forgery was not detected, and she was granted an interview with a selection panel. However, she was not offered a job.

In October 2016, Jaya applied to the Singapore Legal Service again. This time, she forged both her certificate and transcript.

Jaya doctored the certificate to reflect “second class honours (upper division)", as well as the transcript to reflect better grades for 18 out of 27 subjects.

When the Legal Service Commission contacted Jaya to seek her consent to ask NUS for her class ranking and percentile ranking, she declined.

The Legal Service Commission also asked her about the discrepancies in the certificates and transcripts she had submitted in 2013 and 2016.

Jaya emailed her genuine documents to the Legal Service Commission after their queries. They lodged a police report in November.

Besides attempting to fool the Legal Service Commission, Jaya admitted she had also submitted falsified documents to legal resource service provider R & T Asia Resources in May 2016.

For using as genuine a forged document, Jaya could have been sentenced up to four years’ jail and fined.

If training of any sort is conducted by an Indian it is safe to assume that everything related to the training is fraudulent.

If a Chinaman runs any sort of investment vehicle it also safe to assume that it is a ponzi scheme or some other con job.
