Serdang Hospital Impersonator Remanded

Aug 09, 2024

The Malaysian Medical Association has voiced its concerns, after a teenager managed to impersonate staff at the Serdang Hospital.  

It urged hospitals to do more to beef up security at their premises, as cases like this can pose a serious threat to the lives and health of patients.  

The MMA also called for an assessment of the teen’s mental health, because of her unusual behavior.  

The 14-year-old was arrested and remanded for two days, on charges of trespassing and impersonating a public official.  

 Earlier reports said she allegedly posed as a hospital worker for a week.

The driver claimed he was not aware of what was happening.
