A Singaporean doctor was stripped of his license due to eight years of methamphetamine use, despite no patient harm.
A Singaporean doctor, Dr. Darren Leong Kok Cheong, has been struck off the medical register after a tribunal found him guilty of long-term methamphetamine use, despite no evidence of patient harm.
Arrested in February 2023 for possession and use, he underwent rehabilitation and admitted to using the drug for about eight years to manage stress and voice issues.
Though he cooperated with authorities, disclosed early, and received psychiatric care, the tribunal emphasized public trust in medicine over personal mitigating factors.
He is now barred from full practice and may apply for conditional registration under strict supervision, including treatment, reporting, and a pledge not to repeat misconduct.
Changi General Hospital confirmed no patient safety issues arose, and an internal improvement plan remains ongoing.
