RECAP 2012:
A doctor from the Department of Geriatric Medicine at Changi General Hospital, Ivan Ngeow Ko Yen pleaded guilty on Tuesday to cross-dressing as a junior college schoolgirl and exposing himself to a NUS undergraduate.
The court learnt that the 37 year old medical doctor was loitering at a lift lobby in Clementi while donning a school uniform of Victoria Junior College, comprising a top and a skirt.
When he caught the attention of the girl, he lifted his skirt in her direction and expose his genitals as the lift doors were closing. A police report was made and Dr Ngeow was arrested the following month.
Dr Ngeow is currently out on $10,000 bail and the next hearing has been fixed on 24 April. For the offence, he could be jailed up to one year and fined. A pre-sentence report has been ordered to assess his suitability for probation. His defence lawyer claimed he has been secretly ‘cross-dressing’ since he was nine years old.
Dr Ngeow was born in Malaysia and studied at Raffles Institution and Victoria Junior College. He obtained his medical degree from Australia’s University of Melborune.
It is not known if Dr Ngeow is still practicing in Singapore as his name was not found on the register of doctors maintained by the Singapore Medical Council.
Despite the negative publicity on one of its doctors being charged in court for outrage of modesty of a young female student from NUS, Changi General Hospital (CGH) continues to stand by the side of Malaysian doctor Ivan Ngeow Ko Yen.

A police report was made and Dr Ngeow was arrested the following month.
The NUS student refused to compound the matter and settle it out of court with Dr Ngeow which led to him being charged in court. Besides her, Dr Ngeow also exposed his PRIVATE PARTS to another young female student who settled the matter with him in private with a ‘compensation’ of $5,000.
Dr Ngeow reportedly has been cross-dressing since he was nine years old and is currently seeing a psychiatrist for his condition. However, it is not revealed if he has a history of exposing himself as well.
In a statement released to the media, a CGH spokesperson praised Dr Ngeow for being an ‘excellent’ doctor loved by his colleagues and patients alike and he remained very much ‘part of the team’.
Dr Ngeow is currently working as a Consultant in Geriatric Medicine at CGH and he will need to teach young female medical students on attachment in CGH as required of his position.
Dr Ngeow should consider himself fortunate to be born in Malaysia and not in Singapore. Last year, two Singaporean doctors were SACKED immediately from NUH after a patient died from pneumonia following a heart-valve replacement operation even before an internal audit was convened.
