GEORGE TOWN — Police have detained a lorry driver who slapped a doctor at the Emergency Unit of the Penang Hospital for refusing to give his wife a medical certificate (MC).

 Timur Laut district police chief Assist Comm Che Zaimani Che Awang said in the 1am incident on Sunday (Jan 20), the 29-year-old doctor who was attending to the suspect’s wife, in her 30s, did not see the justification to issue the MC.

He said the doctor lodged a police report and police arrested the 38-year-old husband in Datuk Keramat here at 2:20 am.

 He added that the man also tested positive for drugs and had a past criminal record. – Bernama
