Director of construction firm jailed for purchasing forged training certificates

The director of a construction company has been sentenced to three weeks in jail for purchasing forged Building Construction Safety Supervisor Course (BCSS) certificates for his foreign employees, according to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). Ko Woei Hin, a director at Wang Sheng Design & Build, was informed by one of his foreign employees in April 2016 that they knew how to obtain forged certificates. The employee was then tasked with obtaining two such certificates for $500 each. The forged certificates were purportedly issued by an accredited training provider, AMI Consulting, and were entered into MOM’s training record system to indicate that Ko’s foreign employees had attended the BCSS course. MOM uncovered the forged certificates and false records in June 2016 during its routine surveillance of training providers.
