Singapore con job

Singaporean caught in Aussie con people become doctor

A SINGAPOREAN man has been arrested in Australia for using a fake degree to masquerade as a doctor.

The 29-year-old is believed to have dropped-out of the University of Adelaide's medical programme. But his lack of proper qualifications did not stop him from getting an internship last May at the Alice Springs Hospital, where he worked until his arrest on Wednesday.

His elaborate con job finally came to light when senior doctors supervising him at the hospital became concerned about his performance.

Checks with the University of Adelaide showed that, contrary to what he said, he did not have a medical degree from the institution.

The hospital then alerted the Northern Territory Police.

'We can confirm that the man arrested is a 29-year-old Singapore national,' a police spokesman told The Straits Times on Friday.

‘Fake’ doctor busted at hospital
Thursday, 25 February 2010



POLICE have arrested a man who had allegedly been masquerading as a doctor at a major Territory hospital for about six months.




Police were interviewing the man last night.

The man had been working as a doctor at Alice Springs Hospital for half a year without holding the appropriate qualifications, the Northern Territory News reports.

He was believed to be a graduate of the University of Adelaide but the facility has confirmed his qualification papers were fake.

Senior hospital staff supervising the man were concerned about his performance before raising the alarm to police.

The NT Medical Board suspended the man’s registration after the allegations were revealed yesterday.

He received conditional registration to work as intern medical practitioner at Alice Springs in May last year. His qualification documents stated he had completed his university degree in 2008. But the Northern Territory News understands the man attended the course for less than two years and never completed it.


The NT News sent Alice Springs hospital general manager Vicki Taylor several questions to ensure patients had not been put at risk by the man. But Ms Taylor refused to provide any answers.

The questions we asked included:

WHAT part of the hospital was the man working in?

WERE any patients put at risk, injured or killed as a result of being treated by the man?

In a short prepared statement, Ms Taylor said: "Because a police investigation is under way the hospital is unable to make further comment at this time pending the outcome of the investigations."

NT Medical Board registrar Jill Huck said the board failed to cross-check the certified copy of his degree.

"As far as I know it wasn’t cross-checked but it was certified by a justice of peace," she said. "The fraudulent document looked very, very close to an original."

Health Minister Kon Vatskalis has demanded a full explanation from the board and an assurance that similar cases would be avoided.

The allegations come only three months after former Territory doctor John Chibanda was stood down over concerns he was working outside the scope of his credentials at Emerald Hospital in Queensland.
