guess if he was caught, sure he ought to be jailed and caned by the court marshall. his doctor qualification might then be revoked.

A 27-YEAR-OLD Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) doctor, absent without official leave since last October, has been found dead in Melbourne.
The body of Captain (Dr) Allan Ooi was found under the Westgate Bridge in the south Australian city on Tuesday, police from the state of Victoria told The Straits Times.

The 2,600m long bridge across the Yarra River is a vital link between the city centre and Melbourne's western suburbs.

A police spokesman there said the young man was seen getting out of his car on the bridge before 4am that day, and that the police did not believe anyone else was involved in the incident.

She added that witnesses were still being interviewed and that a report was being prepared for the Coroner's Court.

Capt (Dr) Ooi had not been to work since last October and the SAF had been trying - unsuccessfully - to get in touch with him, said Mindef spokesman Colonel Darius Lim.

Capt (Dr) Ooi was believed to have been in Melbourne all this while, though it is not known where in the city he was, nor with whom he was staying.

He studied in Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) and Anglo-Chinese Junior College before reading medicine at the National University of Singapore.

He came from a family of doctors: His father Alex Ooi is an obstetrician and gynaecologist, his mother Lucy Ooi is a cosmetic surgeon and his brother Adrian, 28, is also a doctor.

His sister Lynette, 24, is the exception. She is a lawyer in Hong Kong.

The Ooi family flew to Melbourne on Tuesday. It is believed they were at the Coroner's Office yesterday.

In a statement issued to The Straits Times from Melbourne, his brother Adrian said: 'He was a gifted doctor and a kind and respected friend. But to us, he was and always will be our beloved son and brother.'

It is unclear when the family will be returning home with the body, but Adrian said the family hoped to 'celebrate Allan's 27 years of achievements and life with us with very fond memories of a remarkable person'.
