SINGAPORE — Three days after general practitioner Jipson Quah's cheating charge was amended to a more serious one of defrauding the Ministry of Health (MOH) over fake Covid-19

of defrauding the Ministry of Health over fake Covid-19 vaccination records, Quah's assistant Thomas Chua Cheng Soon's charge was similarly amended on Friday .Quah allegedly falsely represented to MOH on Jan 14 that she was vaccinated with Sinopharm when she was not, in order for her to obtain a vaccination certificate against Covid-19.The case is linked to Iris Koh, the founder of the controversial anti-vaccine group Healing the Divide.

Chua, who appeared in court via video-link, did not contest the application and said:"I just merely followed instructions from Jipson's instructions. I'm just a middleman." He remains remanded till Monday after a judge rejected his lawyer’s request for him to be released on bail.The MOH earlier said that one of the clinics Quah practised at — Wan Medical Clinic in Bedok — had allegedly partnered Koh to offer “remote” pre-event testing using antigen rapid tests for members of Healing the Divide.
