Never try to forge your own MC, unless you wanna get MC for 1 whole year, read below
Forging medical certificates
An employee forged medical certifcates issued by a clinic to support his absence from work. He was jailed for one year after he admitted to three counts of forgery for the purpose of cheating. He had forged the certificates by scanning the documents and reproducing copies on his computer. Fifteen other similar charges were taken into consideration by the Court for sentencing.

Now this is kinda dumb, she should look left and right before splashing. Don't she recall how her teachers teach her how to cross the road? Hmm, not her fault. They did not teach her to look up and down
Preventive detention - drug addicts
A man who had been in drug-rehabilitation centres eight times failed to report for urine tests at a police station. He was jailed for 18 months (9 months jail on each charge, with two terms to run consecutively. Lim could have been fined up to $10,000 and jailed for up to four years on each charge. Once he had been convicted of three or more offences, two sentences had to run consecutively.
He appealed and the CJ increased it to seven years. Lim had a history of convictions for rioting, armed robbery, causing hurt and theft. The CJ exercised his powers under section 216 of the Criminal Procedure Code to keep him in prison for as long as possible.
Sometimes, be happy with what you get and don't ask for more, ermm, ask for less as in the case above
By the way - do you know what is passing off?
Nippon Paint introduced its "3-in-1" multi-purpose wall paint in 1995. In 1999, ICI Paint launched a new paint "Supreme 3-in-1". Nippon Paint cried foul and sued ICI for passing off its paint as the original "3-in-1". ICI Paint cans have a colourful and completely distinct and different look and could not be confused with Nippon's. The court dismissed the claim. It held there is nothing inventive, novel or unique in the "3-in-1" expression. It is merely a descriptive term.
