Nurse jailed for attacking IMH patient

MY PAPER
Tuesday, Apr 19, 2016


A MYANMAR nurse was sentenced to a year's jail yesterday for attacking a patient viciously at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) last year.

Aung Phyo Thu, 26, admitted to causing grievous hurt to Kong Ah Hoe, 56, a long-term patient who suffers from schizophrenia.


Thu's attack included punching him on the back and head, kicking him on the leg, hitting his head area and punching his chest area, causing two rib fractures, on Feb 17 last year.


Mr Kong, who was restrained to the bed, had multiple medical conditions and communication difficulties, the court heard. He needs help to move around.

Investigations showed that Thu, who had been on night duty, woke up to a commotion caused by Mr Kong who was trying to get out of his bed at about 5.55am.


Thu punched Mr Kong on his back. He then used a blanket to cover the patient's face before throwing several punches at his head area.


Thu then kicked Mr Kong's leg, pinned him down and hit his head three times. Not satisfied, he then pinned the victim down again and punched his left rib area about 10 times.


Deputy Public Prosecutor Ma Hanfeng said Mr Kong did not fight back.


When a ward supervisor who found injuries on Mr Kong asked Thu to put up a report to explain the injuries, he falsely stated that the victim's injuries were self-inflicted.


DPP Ma sought at least 12 months' jail, citing aggravating factors.


He said Thu had abused the position of trust and responsibility as a staff nurse by relentlessly and viciously assaulting his patient.


District Judge Luke Tan agreed with the prosecution that deterrence must take centre-stage.

Its about time the hospitals place CCTVs. The patients have no voice and they are at the mercy of whoever decides to look after them. Agree on the caning.

if our health ministers and those policy makers at MOH had the foresight, we wont need to hire so many FT nurses. something is seriously wrong when a noble profession like nursing fails to attract the locals. getting FT to fill the gaps is not the panacea.

Yes failure to attract locals is the root cause. Is it because the hospital insists on paying peanuts and so can only hire cheap foreign labour?

It is sad that a talented foreign scholar has to lose his scholarship over a crazy sinkie. This shows that Singapore is moving towards the far right.

i suspect no one in moh wanted to shoulder this responsibility in promoting nursing as a desired profession. to further exacerbate matters, we arent paying our nurses as well as other 1st world nations.
succinctly, nursing is an orphan!

Not just hire so many FT nurse, you go see the community hospital. Many FT doctors too. Something is definitely wrong when plum jobs like doctor also no locals.

Training doctors is a very expensive affair. Let the low cost countries do the teaching and houseman training and we do the hiring afterwards. It saves money in the long run. I mean the state, not yours. We still charge the same for hospital beds, medicine and health screenings. Teehee!

Yes save the state money only. The community hospital fees are not cheap but services all by FT nurse and doctor. Say the truth only incur the wrath of these foreigners to slander you. The truth like why the male nurse was the one bringing the female elderly patient to toilet at night? Even simple thing like this need to highlight to the FT nurse to put a stop to it. They think it is OK!
