Announcement and status
Active Synergy director Shivasanker S and training manager Mohanarajan s/o Selvarajan were charged on 28 September 2023 over alleged forged safety certificates. MOM was alerted in July 2019; the provider ceased operations that November.
Case details and examples
Some courses were allegedly almost 80% shorter than required. Certificates issued from 1 January 2018–27 November 2019 were not recognised. Affected workers could not perform covered roles until completing recognised training. Most had not been deployed to those tasks.
Official advisory and follow-up
The release identifies courses including work at heights, scaffold erection and formwork supervision. It describes revised R1-related levy rates in October 2023 and notification of past levy recovery in April 2024. Section 53 possibilities were up to S$5,000 or six months or both. The table records allegations, not convictions.
