SINGAPORE — A doctor who was found to have taken more than 3,200 upskirt videos was struck off the medical register in July, a disciplinary tribunal for the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) said.

In grounds made available on Tuesday , the tribunal said the strike off order against Chu Ben Wee would “not only be proportionate” to the severity of his offences but also “necessary for it to be a strong deterrence”.

He took the videos at places like hospitals, malls and junior colleges — including an incident in which he wore a uniform to pose as a student during a career fair at Victoria Junior College while on bail.In view of his offences, the SMC proposed that Chu’s name be removed from the Register of Medical Practitioners, as well as to pay the costs and expenses related to the proceedings, including the costs of solicitors for the Council.

They also pointed out the “premeditated and elaborate manner” in which he went about recording the videos to avoid detection. “What was particularly disturbing to us was that after his Jan 18, 2018 arrest and while investigations are ongoing, not only failed to stop in his criminal conduct, he continued to perpetuate it,” the tribunal said, adding that his lack of self-awareness and insight led to his second arrest.

The tribunal added that Chu’s actions showed that he “lacked insight”, as he had more than ample opportunity to reflect on his conduct and seek help to control his urges after his first two arrests. They also seized his modified shoes — a black pair from Decathlon with a small hole on the right side — and a camera.
