Minister of Education, Dr. Maszlee Malik, stated that the problem of counterfeiting had a negative impact on the Malaysian higher education system, he also added:

"There are people who associate with the reputation of Malaysian state universities to raise their profile by showing fake certificates. We strongly believe that the blockchain application can change this situation."
