Accused 'cooked up groin injury
story' (wanted female doctor) - Straits Times
IN THE trial of the man accused of masturbating in a woman doctor's
consultation room, the prosecution ended its cross-examination of
him yesterday by referring to his groin injury as a hoax.
Yesterday, Deputy Public Prosecutor Amarjit Singh suggested to Eng
Wah Wooh, 43, that he had cooked up the story about the injury to
get a woman doctor to examine his groin. Advertisement
During the examination of his groin, the DPP said, Eng had intended
to ejaculate and get the doctor to look at his semen.
Eng disagreed without elaborating.
The tall, thin, bespectacled man is standing trial for insulting
the modesty of the woman doctor at a Bishan clinic past midnight on
June 23 last year.
He arrived there saying he had hurt his neck, shoulders and groin
while on holiday in Malaysia.
Eng had earlier gone to the National University Hospital (NUH) -
but left when told there was no woman doctor on duty.
In court on Thursday, Eng's explanation for his insistence on
seeing a woman doctor was that, due to the nature of his injury, he
had not felt comfortable being seen by a male doctor.
But yesterday, DPP Singh put it to Eng that he did not have any
groin injury at all.
He had not mentioned the injury to the nurse who attended to him at
NUH, the DPP said.
The woman doctor had not found anything abnormal and he had refused
the medication prescribed to him.
The DPP also pointed out that Eng sought no further medical
treatment for the purported injury, though the woman doctor had
written him a referral note to a specialist.
Eng's conduct that night, said the DPP, clearly shows he had gone
to the clinic to look for a female doctor and to misbehave.
The DPP also described Eng as having taken advantage of the woman
doctor's politeness and good nature.
Careful guys, dun do anything funny in front of female doctors or
even steam, cos they can charge you for outrage of modesy !
