SINGAPORE — In a bid to earn more money, Cheryl Ng Mui Hong began advertising fat-melting injection services on her Instagram account even though she was not medically trained.

The Singaporean gave the injections to at least seven customers before the authorities received an anonymous complaint about her in July 2020.

She then started the Instagram account, running her business out of her own residence and a room she had rented at a Toa Payoh Central salon. She was also prepared to visit her customers’ homes.Ng said she had attended a five-day course in Malaysia in 2019 where she learned about such injections. The certification that she claimed she had obtained then is not recognised in Singapore, Deputy Public Prosecutor Marcus Foo told the court.

DPP Foo told the court that the fat-melting injections contained a “moderate likelihood of bruising and scarring”, which could lead to discomfort and haemorrhaging if not dealt with properly. The serum that she used also contained risks of allergic reactions. Ng injected a red solution and another transparent solution into the customer’s upper arms and upper thighs at multiple spots. This lasted for about one-and-a-half hours.
