Dr Ong is currently employed by the group as a specialist surgeon with oversight over his practice.
However, a majority of businesses in Singapore are in general affected by the Covid-19 situation, especially after the latest"circuit-breaker" measures, which may in turn affect the group, Dr Heah told BT.The defendant was a patient of the other doctor, Chan Herng Nieng, who was then a senior consultant psychiatrist at Singapore General Hospital . Dr Chan is now in private practice, and does not work in the HC Surgical group.
She also emailed a copy of the SMC complaint to"a large number" of doctors – who were mostly Dr Chan’s colleagues, department heads and management at SGH, as well as two doctors in private practice, court documents stated.
In addition, the WhatsApp messages between both doctors"clearly" showed they were colluding to take advantage of a female patient, Justice Yap said. Dr Ong had forwarded that patient’s contact details to Dr Chan, telling him to"feel free to play your game" and made a reference to anal sex with her.
