SINGAPORE - The doctor involved in the HIV registry data leak told a court on Thursday that he was"afraid" of being penalised under Section 377A of the Penal Code for providing prostatic massages, and decided against telling narcotics officers about it.Ler Teck Siang, 38, is accused of injecting narcotics into abusers for a fee in a practice known as"slamming".
On the sixth day of Ler's trial, the medical doctor told a district court that he did not mention this prostatic massage services to narcotics officers as he was"not certain if it would constitute" an offence under Section 377A in the Penal Code. He is contesting one charge of injecting methamphetamine, also known as Ice, into Sim on Feb 26 last year, and another charge of possessing drug-related utensils a few days later on March 2. Sim's age was not mentioned in court documents.
