(a) suspend the certificate until it is satisfied that the holder is physically and mentally fit to hold the certificate of proficiency based on medical evidence given by the registered medical practitioner; or 

 

(b) cancel his certificate immediately if it is satisfied that the holder of the certificate of proficiency is no longer fit due to a physical or mental disability.
