Nursusilla Kassim, 26, has been sentenced to a 20-week jail term for either selling or supplying forged medical certificates to men who wanted to skip drug tests.
In a report by The Straits Times, District Judge Lim Keng Yeow noted that the fault as a supplier of forged MCs was higher than that of the co-accused, Mohammad Rashid Hartan and Sahlan Moati — both were charged for using said forged MCs.
Rashid, who was given a three-month jail term for submitting a forged Khoo Teck Puat Hospital MC on Jan 2016, had paid Nursusilla $20 for the document. He was under a two-year drug supervision order that required him to present himself for a urine test every Monday and Friday at the Ang Mo Kio Police Division.
For Sahlan, who has absconded, submitted a forged Tan Tock Seng Hospital MC to avoid his urine test at Bedok Police Station on Jan 15 last year. He also submitted two additional forged MCs between the 16th and 29th of that month.
The forgery was discovered when Rashid submitted his fake MC to the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) officer for failing to show up on Jan 4 that year. The officer noted that the information on the document was incorrect.
Subsequent investigations revealed that Rashid had enlisted the help of Shaik Abood Abdullah, 31, to obtain a forged MC. He was then introduced to Nursusilla, who subsequently sold the forged document to him for $20.
Abood’s case is still pending before the court.
