This past week, many things were found out about the Wuhan couple lied to the Ministry of Health (MOH).
First, it was found out that the husband, Hu Jun, who was infected with Covid-19, wasn’t as noble as he made himself out to be.
He claimed that he had went into a self-imposed isolation to protect the others from his symptoms but obviously, he did not.
Then, it was revealed that the wife, Shi Sha, had lied about taking a single taxi when they had actually taken a lot of Grab rides.
Then, it was revealed that the couple had omited something again.
They had gone for a property viewing but didn’t think it’s important enough to mention.
And now, there’s more.
Wuhan Couple Who Lied to MOH Accused MOH of Leaking Info to China
On Friday, 21 August, MOH officer, Yeo Seng Guan, took to the stand to testify.
He said that when he went to the Shi’s lodgings with another officer and an interpreter to ask for information, she was “reluctant”.
The reason, he said, was that she was afraid information would be leaked to the press.
Shi had claimed that she received calls from the press in China about her husband and blamed MOH for leaking the information to China.
When asked if he had leaked information to press in China, Yeo said he had not.
When asked if MOH had leaked information to Chinese press, Yeo said he did not know.
Yeo’s colleague, MOH senior manager Elaine Lee Kim Yen, told the court that Shi was concerned about personal information being leaked to the media.
When asked if she had leaked the information, she said she did not.
