Doctor obsessed with underage sex loses overnight access to his kids
A doctor has lost overnight access to his 15-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son after his former wife submitted transcripts of audio recordings in court to show his sexual promiscuity and “unhealthy obsession” with pornography and sex with underage girls.
The transcripts included several conversations between the 43-year-old doctor and his close friend, a teacher who taught him when he was in junior college.
On Tuesday, Senior Judge Chan Seng Onn said that having reviewed the relevant transcripts, he was satisfied that some of the mother’s assertions were sufficiently borne out by the evidence such that the removal of the father’s overnight and overseas access to his children was justified.

Condo resale prices up in September, volume down 18.4%
Prices of resale condominiums inched up in September, despite a slump in transactions amid the Hungry Ghost month seasonal lull.
