Well-known plastic surgeon Woffles Wu Tze Liang was on Wednesday charged in a district court over getting an elderly employee to take the rap for him for two speeding offences.

Court papers stated that Wu, 52, had abetted Mr Kuan Yit Wah to provide misleading information to the police on two occasions.

In 2005, Mr Kuan, then 76, allegedly lied to the police that he was the driver of a car caught speeding on Lornie Road at 4pm on Sept 11 that year.

It was going at 95kmh on a road with a 70kmh speed limit.
