KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 22 — The police are investigating a case involving a man suspected of using a fake ‘Datuk Seri’ title and who allegedly provided illegal Ayurvedic treatment.
Serdang district police chief ACP A.A. Anbalagan said they detected a social media post on the issue yesterday, adding that an investigation is ongoing under Section 3 of the Offences Relating to Awards Act 2017 for using unrecognised titles.
The man is suspected of providing Ayurvedic treatment without a licence or necessary approvals from the Health Ministry and the relevant authorities.
Yesterday, the Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) raided the premises in Bandar Puchong Jaya and confirmed that the establishment did not have a valid licence to operate a beauty and healthcare service.
He said MBSJ issued notices and seized items from the premises.
“The public is advised not to make any speculations or comments that could interfere with the investigation process,” Anbalagan said in a statement today.
