When a female doctor refused her request to have surgery for menstrual pains on medical grounds, Elizerbeth Chua Hui Ping became enraged and slapped the heavily pregnant doctor.
Chua, a 27-year-old Singaporean, also tried to grab the doctor but was prevented from doing so by a senior staff nurse and a nurse manager.
A week later, Chua, who works at McDonald’s, got into a dispute with her mother over the adoption of kittens and threw a chair at the 63-year-old woman, who managed to dodge it.
For her offences, Chua was sentenced to a mandatory treatment order (MTO) on Tuesday (19 June). An MTO is a community sentencing option lasting up to 36 months for offenders suffering from mental conditions. Chua will receive psychiatric treatment in lieu of jail time.
According to her lawyer Ranadhir Gupta, Chua has an extensive psychiatric history and has been admitted to the Institute of Mental Health for a series of suicide attempts and aggression towards others.
She was first referred to IMH’s Child Guidance Clinic in 2006, when she was 16, after she bit, scratched and punched a student and teacher. She was then assessed to have low average intelligence, low self-esteem and anger management issues.
Chua earlier pleaded guilty to three counts of voluntarily causing hurt and one count of breaching a personal protection order issued on 3 May 2016 to protect her mother against her. One count of committing a rash act and one of voluntarily causing hurt were considered for her sentence.
