Trial opens for Healing the Divide’s Iris Koh, doctor and assistant accused of cheating MOH over COVID-19 jabs

” REFERRALS” FROM KOH

According to the lawyers, Dr. Quah and Koh first became acquainted at some point in 2021. The court was given more information about how they got together and how Dr. Quah reportedly began administering saltwater to patients.

Assistant Superintendent of Police Karl Elliott Lim Peng, who was the lawyer’s first see, took the jury through a speech he recorded from Dr Quah on Jan 21, 2022.

According to Dr. Quah, Koh accompanied a female person to one of his facilities in July 2021. He just knew Koh from what had been reported in the media at the time about her.

Dr Quah said the client requested a body test to determine if she had vaccine-related difficulties, and he administered one.

After this, Koh was “grateful” and wanted to know if he could do body tests for other people with similar symptoms. They exchanged phone numbers and communicated.

According to Dr Quah’s speech, after the government started introducing more vaccine-differentiated methods, Koh asked him if he administered Sinopharm vaccinations. She said she would send citizens to him for the vaccinations when he confirmed this.

Dr. Quah claimed in the statement that he understood that Koh may send the patients to him so they could get the Sinopharm vaccine.

Somewhere in 2021, a female person visited his office and identified herself as a “referral” from Koh. According to Dr Quah, she said she would like to get the COVID-19 vaccination but was wary of the area consequences, and “pleaded” with him to procure an other picture.

He added that more clients” trickled” in identifying themselves as Koh visits and saying they were hesitant to get shots over time.

Dr. Quah claimed in the assertion that he primarily would not be aware if a person was a Koh patient, even though she would occasionally text him to let him know who the patients were and when they would come in for a visit.

He stated that he would make and administer the vaccine in accordance with the accepted method for all individuals who wanted it.

However, Dr. Quah said in his speech that if they called themselves “referrals from Iris” and said they were afraid of getting vaccinated, he may give them a salt shot and reflect that they had received the Sinopharm vaccination.

The physician responded to ASP Lim’s question about Dr. Quah’s decision to do this because unvaccinated people faced limits at the time. He said he “found it difficult” to accept an older couple who made such a request, for instance.

He claimed that some people approached him because they didn’t want to have their jobs terminated, while others sought to “get around” cultural restrictions for unvaccinated people.

” TOKEN OF GRATITUDE” FOR SALINE JABS

The physician also stated to ASP Lim that he wanted to help those in need rather than hurt anyone or make money from the salt injections.

He said in the assertion that one family of three offered him S$ 1, 000 to S$ 6, 000 for saltwater needles that would be recorded as COVID-19 treatments.

But, he said he interpreted this as a” token of gratitude” rather than pay, and said he would not accept people who offered to pay more. &nbsp,

One of Dr Quah’s clients, David Christopher Newton, was recently convicted and jailed for paying S$ 6, 000 for saltwater pictures for him and his innocent partner in December 2021 and January 2022.

CNA’s August 2021 inspections revealed that Singaporean facilities charged about S$ 98 or S$ 99, including GST, for the two-dose Sinopharm vaccination.

Dr. Quah added that Chua was the only part of his clinic staff who was aware of the salt photos, and that Chua had worked for him for the past two years to provide medications and work clinical duties.

He referred to Chua as the “middleman” who coordinated between Koh, the people, and the doctor, as well as the one who collected the money from the people and gave it to him.

Dr. Quah even informed ASP Lim that he consented to Chua keeping about 30 % of the profits because he wanted to assist him in improving his financial situation.

If found guilty of fraudulently making a false picture, the sentence is imprisonment for up to 20 years, a great or both for each command.
