SINGAPORE: Progress Singapore Party’s (PSP) assistant secretary-general Ang Yong Guan will not participate in the upcoming General Election, the party said on Wednesday (Feb 5) after his suspension as a psychiatrist was extended.
Dr Ang, 70, was handed a three-year suspension by the Court of Three Judges after being found guilty of professional misconduct. He had appealed against a disciplinary tribunal’s decision to suspend him for two years.
A PSP spokesperson said on Wednesday that the party accepts the court’s decision and has no further comment.
“Dr Ang Yong Guan has informed the party in January that when his current CEC (central executive committee) term ends next month, he will not seek reelection nor participate in the General Election,” the spokesperson added.
Dr Ang was found guilty in May last year of deviating from the relevant standards when prescribing various medications to a patient.
The case relates to a series of prescriptions for a patient named Quek Kiat Siong, who died four days after the last prescription was issued in 2012.
