MACC: Doctors who sell MCs risk prosecution, loss of licences


KUALA LUMPUR: Doctors who are caught selling medical certificates (MC) could lose their license to practise and face the risk of prosecution, said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

"We can do so as such acts have an element of fraud, with the principle intention of fooling employers and obtaining financial gain," said its director of investigations Datuk Mustafar Ali.
