Ler Teck Siang, the former doctor embroiled in the HIV registry data leak last year, has been sentenced to an additional 10 months jail for failing to provide narcotics officers with his urine sample.
Ler, 39, also admitted to a charge under the Official Secrets Act (OSA) for failing to retain possession of the HIV registry, which he had access to when he was head of the National Public Health Unit.
