Former doctor training in SGH charged with filming men in toilets at Bugis Junction, Ngee Ann City malls

SINGAPORE — A 30-year-old doctor who used to work at the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) was charged in a district court on Tuesday (Nov 5) with 23 counts of filming other men using the urinals in shopping malls.

Jerry Christian Nagaputra, an Indonesian, was working in the hospital’s department of anatomical pathology at the time.

Court documents showed that he allegedly took the obscene videos on two days — Feb 9 and 11 this year.

He purportedly first struck at the men’s toilet in Ngee Ann City mall, located in the Orchard Road shopping belt, at about 4.40pm.

Two days later, he is accused of taking more obscene videos in the men’s toilet at Bugis Junction, another mall on Victoria Street. He allegedly did this 22 times within the space of three hours, from about 5.30pm to 8.30pm.

It was not stated what device he used to film the men.

He will return to court on Dec 3, pending a report from the Institute of Mental Health.

Associate Professor Tan Hak Koon, the designated institutional official from SingHealth’s Graduate Medical Education Office, told TODAY that Nagaputra was employed under MOH Holdings (MOHH) then.

Nagaputra was attached to the department in SGH for training and no longer works for MOHH as of Oct 25, Assoc Prof Tan added.

SGH is part of the SingHealth public healthcare cluster, while MOHH is the holding company for the three clusters in Singapore — including SingHealth.

The SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Medical Centre’s website showed that Nagaputra had been awarded a grant, with his project set to go on from October last year to March next year.
