According to Prof John Wong of NUH, Dr Lu “was not aware of the charges”, as the summons to the hearing was sent to the wrong address in the US. Also, by then, he was already working in Singapore. Because of his non-appearance at the hearing, his licence to practise was revoked. Even now, Dr Lu’s medical licence in the State of Florida in the US remains “revoked”.
However, even if Dr Lu “was not aware of the charges”, is he aware that selling prescription drug without first examining the patient is an offence under the medical laws of most jurisdictions in the world?
Prof Wong further added, “When we’re young, we tend to do things that are not smart.” Mr Sim, CEO of NUH also defended Dr Lu, saying it was a “dumb mistake”.
At the time of his offence in 1999, he was already 29 years old with a medical licence to save lives. Is Prof Wong implying that he was too young to be a doctor to save lives back in 1999 too?
Declaring that he was not a subject of any disciplinary proceedings, Dr Lu even later served as an independent director of a public listed company, Healthway Medical Corporation Ltd, from July 2009 to March 2012 (‘Dr Lu was a Director of a public listed company and declared he was not a subject of any past disciplinary proceedings‘).
