Former deputy lead of MOH data unit charged under OSA for leaking Singapore's COVID-19 numbers 22 timesThe head of MOH's Case Reporting Team lodged a police report on Apr 18, 2020, stating that the ministry suspected that the daily number of COVID-19 cases for a few days in April 2020 had been leaked.
As a result of the leaks, the public service had to adjust its approach in dealing with the pandemic, including ringfencing certain processes, which reduced the speed of information flow between agencies while investigations were ongoing. The nature of the information Zhao leaked was sensitive, as it was information the public had a significant interest in, and there was"anxiety surrounding the numbers", he said. The leaks for the proceeded charges took place just before the unprecedented"circuit breaker" and during its first few days, said Mr Lim.
She was"cavalier with the data leaked", playing a"guessing game" with the chat group members, and leaked the information on multiple occasions.Defence lawyer Diana Ngiam from Quahe Woo and Palmer asked instead for 18 weeks' jail. She said this was an unprecedented time for all, especially for Zhao who was"abruptly placed" in a position where she had to deal with the data.
"She intended for the information that was shared to be only shared within the WeChat group comprising of mothers, of whom the accused empathised with," said Ms Ngiam.
