Doctor who forged certificates for aesthetic procedures gets four months' jail in Singapore
Bernard Tan Wen Sheng pleaded guilty to two counts of forgery and one count of giving false information to a public servant. - Photo: ST file SINGAPORE: A doctor specialising in aesthetic services was sentenced to four months' jail on Tuesday (July 29) after he forged four certificates of competence (COCs) and submitted them to the Ministry of Health (MOH). Bernard Tan Wen Sheng committed the offences to obtain a licence for his medical practice, and two of the COCs pertained to workshops he had not attended at the time. On June 30, Tan, 35, pleaded guilty to two counts of forgery and one count of giving false information to a public servant. Two other forgery charges were considered during his sentencing. In sentencing him, District Judge James Elisha Lee stressed that the MOH regulatory framework is meant to safeguard public health and safety. The judge also said that Tan had knowingly committed offences against MOH – a public institution – and had shown a blatant disregard for the ministry's regulatory process. In earlier proceedings, the court heard that COCs are a crucial part of the regulatory process, which MOH uses to decide if an application for a clinic licence should be granted. Deputy Public Prosecutor Ariel Tan told the court in June that in or before February 2023, Tan decided to set up his medical practice Bay Aesthetics Clinic, at Marina Bay Link Mall. He then submitted an application for a clinic licence to MOH. Court documents stated that to obtain a COC, an applicant must attend a workshop for a particular aesthetic procedure and pass the requisite examination. The Aesthetic Dermatology Education Group (ADEG) would then issue the COC. On Feb 20, 2023, a manager from MOH's Hospital Ambulatory Care and Research Regulation Department conducted an inspection of Tan's clinic via video link. The next day, she e-mailed him to ask for COCs relating to three services – botulinum toxin injections, fillers and chemical peels. Tan then realised that he did not have some of the relevant COCs and decided to alter his wife's COCs to create his own. He obtained four COCs which were issued to his wife, who had passed the examinations in 2017. The certificates were linked to workshops relating to four different procedures – chemical peels, assisted lasers or intense pulsed light for hair removal (IPL hair removal), fillers, and botulinum toxin injections. Tan then printed out his name on paper with a font size similar to his wife's details on the COCs and placed it on each of the COCs to cover his wife's details. He then scanned the certificates one by one, with his name positioned neatly above the line where the workshop attendee's name was written. At around 2.30pm on Feb 21, 2023, Tan sent the scanned copies of the forged certificates to the manager via e-mail. DPP Tan told the court that Tan had, in fact, attended workshops involving fillers and botulinum toxin injections in 2017, but had lost the COCs for them. He had not attended workshops involving chemical peels and IPL hair removal at the time, added the prosecutor. On Feb 27, 2023, the manager sent Tan another e-mail, stating that ADEG could not find records of his purported attendance of the latter two workshops. She then asked him for either the original COCs or an e-mail confirmation from ADEG of his attendance of the workshops. Tan sent an e-mail the next day, insisting that he had attended the courses in May 2017. The application was eventually approved on March 13, 2023, and Tan was allowed to provide services involving fillers and botulinum toxin injections. He provided chemical peel and IPL hair removal services after he attended workshops for them in April that year. Court documents did not disclose how his offences came to light, but he was charged in court in 2024. Tan's bail was set at $20,000 on July 29, and he is expected to begin serving his sentence on Aug 15. - The Straits Times/ANN

Abortion pills: Repeat offender fined
Published on: Saturday, July 26, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jul 26, 2025 By: Cynthia D Baga Text Size: The offence under Regulation 7 (1)(a) of the Control of Drugs and Cosmetic Regulations 1984 carries a jail term of up to three years, or a fine of up to RM50,000 or both, on conviction. Kota Kinabalu: A 29-year-old man who has previous conviction record for selling unregistered products, was fined a total of RM12,000 for having unregistered products used for abortion. Edrick Agunchai pleaded guilty before Sessions Court Judge Amir Shah Amir Hassan to two counts against him. On the first count, Edrick was fined RM5,000 in default five months' imprisonment for having 50 tablets of Cytotec Misoprostol 200mg which was not registered with the Ministry of Health (MOH) at 2pm on Oct 27, 2022 at the J&T Express in Inanam Taipan, near here. On the second count, he was ordered to pay another RM7,000 or spend six months in jail for having 86 unregistered tablets of Cytotec Misoprostol 200mg at 4.45pm on the same day at a unit of apartment in Lorong Vista Minintod Jalan Bundusan, Penampang. The offence under Regulation 7 (1)(a) of the Control of Drugs and Cosmetic Regulations 1984 carries a jail term of up to three years, or a fine of up to RM50,000 or both, on conviction. In mitigation, Edrick who was not represented, asked for a light sentence saying that he was just a middle person in selling the product via online. However, Prosecuting Officer Lim Lay Peng from the Pharmacy Department urged the court to impose an appropriate sentence for public safety and health, as it would not only serve as a lesson to Edrick but also as a warning to others who may intend to commit the same offence. Lim told the court that Cytotec was the brand name for a medication known as Misoprostol and originally registered with the Drug Control Authority in Malaysia for the approved indication of treating gastric and duodenal ulcers. However, in November 2016, Lim said the product registration holder had cancelled its registration and since then, Cytotec was classified as an unregistered product and prohibited from being sold in the Malaysian market. 'In addition to treating ulcers, Cytotec functions by inducing intense uterine contractions, which can result in miscarriage. Due to this effect, the medication has become a tool commonly exploited by unscrupulous parties for use as an abortion pill. 'Over the years, Misoprostol has been found for sale across various online platforms. In this case, based on investigation, Edrick was believed to be the seller behind the Telegram account used to illegally sell Cytotec online. 'He was caught red-handed during the raid at a post office, in possession of parcels containing Cytotec tablets, ready to be shipped to buyers. This unauthorised sale endangers public health and puts the lives of pregnant women at serious risk,' said Lim. She added that the Edrick's actions amount to facilitating or promoting unlawful abortions as he was not a licensed medical practitioner, and hence he was neither qualified nor authorised for causing a miscarriage/abortion. Lim informed the court that Edrick was a repeat offender as he was previously convicted in 2023 under the same regulation for the same product. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
