SINGAPORE — Despite lacking the right qualifications to be a preschool principal, a woman sought to beef up her credentials by applying for the job using documents that she forged.
Her offence came to light when checks by the Early Childhood Development Agency found that the documents could not be verified.
The MOE certification letter, which was needed in order for her to secure the preschool job, was purportedly issued to an unrelated childcare centre to certify Zhong. The court heard that Zhong had obtained a copy of the letter online through a Google search. She amended a copy of it using an image editing software on the laptop, printed the forged document and submitted it to Al-Amin.
Court documents did not clearly state the exact date of her job application to Al-Amin or whether she had been accepted for the job pending verification checks by ECDA. In seeking a three weeks’ jail sentence, Deputy Public Prosecutor Wong Shiau Yin described the forgery as “relatively sophisticated and not amateurish” and was not likely to be detected from a quick look.
