Event Summary

Dr. Chan Bingyi was sentenced to 18 months' jail for a negligent act that resulted in the death of his patient, Lau Li Ting, in 2019. Chan Bingyi administered ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to Lau Li Ting for aesthetic reasons at Revival Medical & Aesthetics Centre, despite it being unsuitable and administered at a dangerous concentration and speed. Lau Li Ting developed EDTA toxicity, leading to cardiac arrest and her death five days later at Singapore General Hospital. Senior District Judge Ong Hian Sun stated that Chan Bingyi betrayed trust, was motivated by monetary gain, and concealed crucial information from medical professionals and Lau Li Ting's family. Chan Bingyi intends to appeal his conviction and sentence and faces other pending charges under the Health Products Act.
