SINGAPORE: A general practitioner (GP) who was jailed for 30 weeks in May 2019 for taking upskirt photos of dozens of victims has been suspended from practising medicine for 14 months.

Dr Sim Choon Seng, who is in his mid-50s, had pleaded guilty to the disciplinary charge brought against him by the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) – that his conviction for the offences implies a defect in character which makes him unfit for the profession.
