Whenever there is a disaster of major event, there will always be people who takes advantage of the situation.
According to Malaysian media, The Star, a worker in Malaysia resorted to photoshopping his ART kit to make it look like a positive result in order to get free odd days.
The worker told the media outlet that he first took a regular test which shows one line (negative results).
He would then use a photo editing software to copy the line and paste if over the positive section depicting a positive result.
He even proudly told the media that “it is easy” and it would not be discovered easily unless someone look at the photo closely.
As the copied line is the original pixel density as the rest of the image, it would be almost impossible to detect if the photo has been edited.
The man said that he uploaded the photo to their local COVID-19 app and received a Home surveillance Order.
Another woman told The Star that she was forced to do same thing as she had no one to babysit her child.
The official in Malaysia stated that they will take actions against individuals who submit fake test results.
