SINGAPORE: A doctor specialising in aesthetic services was sentenced to four months’ jail on Tuesday (July 29) after he forged four certificates of competence (COCs) and submitted them to the Ministry of Health (MOH).

Bernard Tan Wen Sheng committed the offences to obtain a licence for his medical practice, and two of the COCs pertained to workshops he had not attended at the time.
