Fake as in patients producing MC that was verifièd by staffs of clinic that they never visited the clinic on the specific date. Apparently the fake MC itself looks too dodgy with the signature of the attending doctor being photocopied.

Company can fire you. Ah gong can jail you.

 

 

Jail term is serious matteŕ. No joke.

Within the company, the one producing fake MC maybe subjected to disciplinary action stipulated in the Code of Conduct / employee handbook, HR policy, etc. which typically involve written warning (for 1st time offender), deduction of pay (to recover the period of "MC"), and even termination of service (especially for repeated offender).

 

The company may also choose to report the clinic which issue fake MC to its employee, to MOH and SMC. In the rare cases, police report may also be lodged, if the company has reasons to believe that it is a fraud.

Depending on what's the motive to fake the mc for. If it's used to commit crime/fraud then it's worth the time to report to the authorities.

It's a Criminal Offence under Cheating, Section 520 Cap 224

 

Private Company - Sacked  (but private company can still make a police report and get the person involve jailed) 

 

Gov - Fine, Jail & sack

Is there any other reason to fake an MC?

Fake MC only written warning for first timer? That would be too lenient. Should be fired.

The clinic doctor will also be implicated and jip pai tua kee leow .... [sweatdrop]

 

frankly if the MC was "produced without his/her knowledge, dont think will be implicated or incriminated.

 

Its the patient that doctored the MC.

kind of difficult to explain how it would apply to the concerned party that doctored the MC on my side here. But i would incline to say its more towards the ah gong side.

let me put in in the simplest way i could.

 

Its ah kong mandated program but one chose to doctor a fake MC in order to siam the program.
