KUALA LUMPUR: The 14-year-old girl who was arrested for trespassing and impersonating a doctor at Sultan Idris Shah Hospital (HSIS), Serdang, on Thursday (Aug 8), was released on police bail on Saturday (Aug 10).
Sepang OCPD Asst Comm Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof said during questioning, the teenager admitted to doing so to see if she could get faster medical treatment as a staff member at the hospital.
"It was not because she was influenced or she wanted to imitate any programme she had watched on television," he said when contacted.
He said the case is being investigated under Sections 448 and 170 of the Penal Code for trespassing and impersonating a public servant.
The investigation paper will be submitted to the Deputy Public Prosecutor for further action once completed.
The girl was arrested at HSIS on Thursday for impersonating a medical doctor.
The police also seized scrubs and a hospital lanyard from her.
Initial investigations revealed that she had claimed to be a doctor and offered to assist in performing surgeries.
She was on remand for two days, and the remand order expired on Saturday. — Bernama
