SINGAPORE - When applying for two jobs, Muhammad Rasul Kadir Ali submitted a forged diploma in security and fire safety management. To bolster his case in one of the applications, he submitted his own phone numbers as his two referees' contacts to impersonate them and provide good feedback about himself. The 31-year-old Singaporean was jailed for three weeks on Wednesday (Oct 5) after he pleaded guilty to two charges of using a forged document and one charge of cheating by personation. He was caught after a human resource manager who called the referees noticed their voices sounded like Rasul's, grew suspicious and conducted a check. In 2016, Rasul wanted to apply for a job as a fire safety manager, but knew it would take him about two years to earn the required diploma. An acquaintance, known only as Ravi, told Rasul he could prepare such a diploma for him. Deputy Public Prosecutor V. Jesudevan said: «Initially, the accused was reluctant, but the prospect of having to wait two years to obtain the proper qualification led him to change his mind even though he knew it was wrong.» Read more
