Former factory operator Lian Huizuan, 27, died of a medical drug overdose on March 2, 2011, while serving her sentence for abusing drugs.
An inquest into her death revealed that the former factory operator was holding her legs in pain during a drill session with the other inmates in the yard.
But Assistant Superintendent of Prisons (ASP) Claire Koo Qi Hui who was on the witness stand yesterday, said that Lian, when asked, declined to see a medical officer.
ASP Koo added that the mother of two also said “no” when asked if she wanted to take a rest.
The hearing will resume on Feb 23.
