SINGAPORE: A doctor at the centre of the HIV data leak from Singapore's registry told the High Court on Monday (Mar 11) he had lied to the police ...

. When questioned by Justice Chua Lee Ming about what Ler thought would have happened in giving this false information, Ler said: “The appellant didn’t really have an intention, it was essentially a retaliation for how he perceived … he was treated.”

When questioned about what was to happen with this lack of cooperation, Ler said he had not thought about it at that point in time.He also reiterated his “bargaining chip” defence, which he had used during his earlier trial. Ler claimed that when he was detained on May 23, 2016, it was “clearly for the primary purpose of extracting [a] confession to cheating”, even though “on the surface he was led to understand that he was supposed to be assisting into investigations looking into the data breach”.
