It’s quite common to see men willing to do just about anything just to see their female partners – that is, in movies or K-dramas only, of course.
We’ve even seen some of them in Singapore, like the SCDF NSF man who stole an ambulance to drive to his girlfriend’s house.
As romantic as these may sound, we shouldn’t forget that after all, it’s illegal in reality.
And now, we have a new contender on the list of men breaking the law for a woman.
Man Cheated Doctor Into Giving Him MC
In a world where the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, with a medical certificate (MC) comes great responsibility.
There are even stricter laws to ensure you’re staying at home during your MC and not out and about spreading the virus.
And even stricter laws about getting one when you’re not actually sick and just lying to use it as a cover for something else.
Muhammad Irshaad Abdul Mateen Lim Liang San, 24, cheated and lied to a doctor in order to obtain an MC.
He was charged with the offence on 12 July, in addition to five more charges of leaving the house during his specified MC period from 13 to 17 May 2020 for non-essential purposes.
This also happened to be during the circuit breaker period where it was more serious.
At that time, people were urged to consult a doctor if they felt any acute respiratory infection symptoms, like a cough or flu.
When they said circuit breaker, they didn’t mean circuit break-the-law.
On May 12, Irshaad visited OneCare Medical at Bukit Gombak MRT Station to see his doctor, Dr Ramana Narendran.
He then apparently tricked Dr Narendran into believing he was experiencing flu-like symptoms.
After getting the MC, he failed to remain confined to his home in Bukit Batok for the days that followed.
And He Went To A Woman’s House
Within the five days of Irshaad’s MC period, he visited 22-year-old Alyssa Poh Hwee Yee’s house in Ang Mo Kio.
He had left his home at about 12:30am on 13 May last year and arrived at her house between approximately 1:30am and 3:20pm.
She was slammed with six charges for allowing him to enter her home during the circuit breaker period, for people who don’t live in the same household weren’t allowed to visit one another for social purposes.
It wasn’t made clear what their relationship was, however.
They are both currently out on bail, and will return to court on 16 August.
COVID-19 laws carry a maximum jail term of six months, a fine of up to $10,000, or both that they would have to face if found to break them.
As for Irshaad’s cheating offence, he may face up to three years in jail and a fine.
Here’s the mystery, though – it wasn’t specified as to how Irshaad got exposed for faking his illness just to get an MC from the doctor.
Now think twice before lying to your doctor to get one so you can skip work.
