KUANTAN, Tues:
POLICE are watching the activities of errant doctors, especially those supplying drugs to addicts.

Archive Since 1991 State Police chief Datuk Ramli Yusoff said three doctors had been arrested under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 since 2003.

"We have a case (involving a doctor) every year and we view this matter seriously" he told reporters this after attending the State Police monthly gathering today.

In all three cases, he said, the general practitioners had their own private clinics. The latest case was on Friday when a 40-year-old doctor was arrested while allegedly selling psychotropic pills to a drug addict in the compound of the Mentakab Hospital.
