‘SOME WOMEN DESERVE TO BE RAPED’: DOCTOR
AUSTRALIA, (DAILY MAIL),7JUNE 2019
A Melbourne doctor who posted online that ‘some women deserve to be raped’ has been suspended indefinitely amid an investigation by Australia’s health regulator.
Christopher Kwan Chen Lee was found guilty in April of professional misconduct and suspended for six weeks by the Tasmanian Health Practitioners Tribunal for making a series of disrespectful and racist comments.
The suspension, due to expire on June 11, was extended by the Medical Board of Australia as of Thursday. ‘The board has taken this action in the public interest to maintain confidence in the medical profession,’ it said in a statement on Friday.
Dr Lee was employed in Tasmania for two years from February 2016, and in early 2019 was working as a registrar at Box Hill in Victoria.
He was prolific in a Singaporean chat room where in 2016 he wrote that ‘some women deserve to be raped, and that supercilious little bitch fits the bill in every way.’ Dr Lee said the post was made in the context of a Singapore/ Malaysian political situation after a female college student made disparaging remarks about servicemen.
