SINGAPORE: A man went on trial on Monday (Oct 3) over a charge of offering a S$50 bribe in exchange for his medical records
in exchange for his medical records to reflect that he had received his second COVID-19 vaccination jab.
Ms Lee told the court that she was employed by Homage Home Care at the time, providing Pfizer jabs. She said that when she first met Tan at the booth in the vaccination hall, she verified his name and identification card number. Ms Lee said she told Tan"no", and asked him why he did not want to be vaccinated, since he had already received his first dose.
Ms Lee said she then told Tan that she could not do this, as it was"something to do my integrity and my licence". Tan, who was on remand and defended himself, asked the judge at this point if he could object now or later. He was given various tips by both the judge and prosecutor on how to make arguments and cross-examine the witness.
"I did not say that I would give you S$50 in exchange for you to write or record or edit in the system," said Tan.
