SGThe Ministry of Health (MOH) in Singapore is investigating whether the founder and CEO of LC Nursing Home, Chia Yang Pong, failed to disclose past disciplinary actions against him during the nursing home's license application. MOH has decided to revoke the nursing home's license effective November 23 due to 'serious and systemic' lapses in care and safety. Chia was previously found guilty of professional misconduct by the Singapore Medical Council and removed from the Register of Medical Practitioners in 2004. MOH stated that while Chia holds a key appointment at the nursing home, his role does not require medical expertise under the Healthcare Services Act 2020. This follows similar actions against Windsor Convalescent Home, whose license was also revoked for serious non-compliance. MOH emphasized that nursing homes with repeated failures and inadequate corrective efforts face escalated enforcement.
