Looks like Dr Queck had been working with hospitals and university also. No problem leh.

My guess is the issue is his locuming at private GP clinics? Maybe his work pass does not allow him to locum?

I dont see Singhealth or NUS being charged.

 

[Pinkieslut]

Work pass is tied to an employer.

he is not allow to moonlight for other employers without approvals.

I am surprised this Jiuhu Kia refused to get PR.

CECA ahneh boss siboh..

MOH loves foreign doctors. Government hospitals choke full of them now.

Lazy, questionable competence and fucked type attitude. But I guess cheap to employ and no need to progress their careers. Once done just toss them out back to the shit hole whence they came. As long as subsidised peasants see some kind of doctor after waiting half a day that's KPI met.

Good Singaporean doctors are all in private practice now. Treating foreigners. Laugh die me.

Is Dr Queck a quack doctor?

In response to queries from CNA, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said on Thursday night that it received information on possible contravention of the laws involving Dr Queck in May 2019.

He was prosecuted by MOM and fined S$70,000 on Jun 24 this year for working without a valid work pass, said the MOM spokesperson.

According to court documents from Dr Queck's case in June, MOM investigated his case on May 29, 2019, after receiving information about contravention of laws under the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act.

Dr Queck was given an employment pass to be employed by Singapore Health Services as an associate consultant. He began working full-time in the National Neuroscience Institute's Department of Neurology around Aug 1, 2016, court documents stated.

However, Dr Queck "was a self-employed foreigner without a valid work pass" on hundred of occasions. He provided locum services at medical clinics on his rest days or when he was available in order to earn additional income for himself.

The clinics came to know about the locum services offered by Dr Queck through online portals and word-of-mouth recommendations.

"Investigations revealed that the accused did not indicate his nationality or work pass status to the clinics," the court documents said.

The clinics engaged Dr Queck on an ad hoc basis to attend and prescribe medication to patients, and paid him at an hourly rate of between S$80 and S$120 on each occasion.

At all times, Dr Queck did not have a valid work pass to be engaged as a doctor at the medical clinics other than the one he was employed full-time at, according to court documents.

In the proceeded charges, Dr Queck earned S$331,443.40 from his illegal employment at clinics on 511 occasions between Nov 9, 2016 and May 1, 2019.

In the charges taken into consideration for his case, Dr Queck earned S$333,618.70 offering illegal services at clinics on 425 occasions between Dec 7, 2011 and Nov 8, 2016.

In total, he earned more than S$665,000 over almost eight years, according to court documents from his case.

The MOM spokesperson said the ministry would like to remind all work pass holders of the employment regulations.

"They must not take on any jobs or engage in activities to earn additional income in Singapore. Employers need to apply for a work pass for any foreigner they wish to employ," she added.
