Three arrested for selling fake medical certificates in Sungai Petani
SUNGAI PETANI: Police have detained three individuals suspected of running a fake medical certificate (MC) syndicate in the district for the past two years. The group allegedly issued MCs without requiring medical consultations, exploiting loopholes in the system. Kuala Muda district police chief ACP Hanyan Ramlan revealed that the investigation began after uncovering misconduct involving a police personnel who frequently submitted suspicious MCs. This led authorities to the syndicate, which operated by forging doctor signatures and using counterfeit stamps. During a raid at a premises in Taman Songket Indah on June 26, police confiscated multiple items, including 20 fake MCs, tablets, forged rubber stamps with doctors' names, A4 paper, a laptop, and a printer. The suspects, unemployed men aged between 30 and 40, reportedly sold each fake MC for RM25 to RM30, primarily targeting civil servants. Hanyan noted that the main suspect, a heart patient undergoing hospital treatment, gathered doctors' names during visits and misused them on fake stamps. 'Most names were real, but the job titles were incorrect,' he said. The case is being investigated under Section 468 of the Penal Code for forgery.

Three held for selling fake MCs in Sungai Petani
SUNGAI PETANI: Police have arrested three men believed to be the masterminds behind the sale of fake medical certificates (MCs) in the district over the past two years. Kuala Muda OCPD Hanyan Ramlan said the group's modus operandi involved issuing MCs without the need for any medical consultation or treatment. He said the case emerged during an investigation into a breach of integrity involving a low-ranking police officer who had frequently submitted MCs. "This led to the discovery of the group selling fake MCs," he told a press conference at the Kuala Muda district police headquarters here on Sunday (July 6). According to him, during a raid on a premises in Taman Songket Indah near here at 4.30am on June 26, police seized various items, including about 20 fake MCs, tablets, rubber stamps bearing the names of doctors, A4-sized paper, a laptop and a printer. Hanyan said the three unemployed suspects, in their 30s and 40s, sold fake MCs for RM25 to RM30 a day, targeting civil servants as their primary 'customers'. He said the main suspect was found to be a heart patient currently receiving treatment at a hospital. "During each hospital visit, the suspect would note down the attending doctor's name and later use it on rubber stamps. Most of the names belonged to actual doctors, but the job titles were inaccurate," Hanyan said, adding that the case was being investigated under Section 468 of the Penal Code. – Bernama
