A man, who illegally bought cough syrup from an online seller and used a counterfeit $1,000 note for the transaction, was sentenced to two years and 10 months’ jail, and a fine of $3,000 on April 2.
Khalid Abdullah, 34, who is unemployed, bought the medication after a doctor refused to prescribe it to him in 2022.
In March, Khalid pleaded guilty to one count each of using a counterfeit note and being in possession of such items. He had also admitted to a harassment charge. In earlier proceedings, the court heard that in March 2022, Khalid asked a doctor at Woodlands Polyclinic to prescribe him four bottles of sedative cough syrup.
Police arrested Khalid a month later, and he was found with nearly $18,500 worth of counterfeit notes in his possession.
