A DOCTOR has been suspended for three months and censured by the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) for prescribing sleeping pills inappropriately.
Dr Fong Kok Weng had to give an undertaking to the medical profession's regulator not to repeat such conduct and ordered pay the costs of the disciplinary proceedings.
But the SMC spared the general practitioner of Cambridge Medical Centre in Woodlands Street 31 from a fine which would usually have been imposed, in view of what it considered to be 'strong mitigating factors'.
