SINGAPORE - Ler Teck Siang, the doctor involved in the HIV Registry data leak that grabbed the headlines last year, lost his appeal on Friday at the High Court against his conviction for drug-related offences.
Ler was arrested with the drug abuser, Sim Chee Eng, at Conrad Centennial Singapore hotel on March 2, 2018, after hotel staff found drugs in Sim's hotel room and called the police. Ler, who denied the charges, claimed that he met Sim to change the man's wound dressing and provided only"massage services" to Sim. He said"slamming" referred to an intimate massage.
After a nine-day trial that spanned five months, a district judge found Sim's testimony more believable and consistent with the messages exchanged between the two.
