A doctor at Changi General Hospital left his post purportedly to be on sick leave but actually went to work at a private clinic for S$95 an hour

Is it because of Singapore’s very high cost of living?

Deputy Public Prosecutor Ben Mathias Tan told the District Judge Mathew Joseph that Sursas worked at CGH’s diagnostic radiology department between Sept 1, 2015, and Jan 4, 2016. On Nov 25, Sursas himself wrote an MC and created a false impression that a locum at Etern had signed it. He later submitted the forged MC to CGH.

The tribunal suspended him for three years, imposed a S$15,000 fine, censured him and ordered him to pay the cost of the proceedings.
