He said it would be an offence if medical doctors issued MCs without medically screening their patients and they were also at risk of being removed from the list of medical practitioners. “If the MC is issued without a doctor’s knowledge and the doctor is able to prove that he or she is not part of that , he can lodge a complaint. But what we need to do is ascertain if the doctor is part of the syndicate ,”he said.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim was reported to have said that police inspected three houses occupied by the suspects and seized 4,631 MC chits from government hospitals and private clinics in the raids.
