Three individuals were detained in Pekan today following investigations into the distribution of fraudulent medical certificates. Among those apprehended were a workshop owner, a mechanic and a cleaner, who are believed to have been involved in producing and selling the forged documents.
The counterfeit certificates allegedly bore the name of a government medical officer, raising concerns about potential misuse of official credentials. Authorities suspect the fake documents may have been circulated among multiple individuals for various purposes.
Investigators are examining how the operation functioned and the extent of its reach. The involvement of workers from a workshop suggests the scheme may have operated through an informal business network rather than through official medical channels.
The arrests mark the latest crackdown on document fraud in the state. Authorities have indicated they are pursuing additional leads to determine whether other parties were complicit in the scheme or benefited from the counterfeit certificates.
