SMC’s suspension order was initially valid until October 21. The council had obtained it from an interim orders committee after Dr Wee’s High Court conviction. “As deliberations are presently under way on whether disciplinary proceedings are to be brought against Dr Wee, the SMC seeks the public’s understanding that it is unable to comment at this juncture so as to avoid prejudicing any such proceedings,” it added.
This includes internal pelvic exams such as the one he had conducted on the patient in the sexual assault case.The patient had accused Dr Wee of raping her during a late-night consultation at his clinic in Bedok on December 30, 2015. She was seeking treatment for gastric problems, frequent urination and an itch on her genitals.
Dr Wee also did not use a glove during the examination, and did not ask for a female chaperone to be present. He claimed that it was because he was “caught off guard” as the patient complained of a vaginal itch while lying on the examination bed, and not in the consultation room.
