A Singapore doctor, Kho Kwang Po, has been reported to the police for allegedly publishing Facebook posts bearing anti-Islam statements.

Kho had allegedly made multiple public posts over at least seven years between 2014 and as recent as May 2021 that painted Islam as a violent religion.

The posts were still publicly accessible at the time of this article's writing.

Posts from as early as 2014

A search conducted on his Facebook posts showed Kho allegedly started posting negatively about topics such as "Muslim", "religion", and "Islam" beginning in 2014.

Over the years, he allegedly posted his own commentary publicly on Facebook about these topics, and shared videos and blog posts by others.

Some of the topics Kho allegedly posted about included how “Muslim nurses in Singapore going to look like those in Saudi Arabia” if they were to don the headscarf, as well as attributing to Islam the act of beheading a man in Iran for not practising heterosexuality.

Police report made

A police spokesperson confirmed on June 30 that a police report had been made.

It is understood that the report was filed on June 29 and that the police had previously already issued Kho a warning over a report made against him in 2019.

It has since been reported publicly in Singapore that public records do not bear Kho's medical registration.

Kho told The Straits Times that he was unaware of the police report and declined to comment.

Same doctor who spoke out against mRNA vaccination in Singapore

Kho is one of the doctors who signed on two separate open letters calling for the vaccination of children using mRNA vaccines to cease or be delayed.

In the latest missive, Kho was one of five doctors who signed an open letter calling for the vaccination of boys in Singapore to be delayed so as to allow more information about the death of a 13-year-old boy in the United States to be made known.

The other people who signed the letter included Wong Wui Min, Chia Ai Mian, Louis Loo Wee Ping and Yang Ing Woei.

Their names appeared as initials in the letter.

The letter has since been slammed by Singapore’s expert committee on Covid-19 vaccines, as well as infectious diseases expert and the expert committee member David Lye.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) here said reports about the child’s death in the U.S. did not state heart failure as a cause, as alleged in the open letter.

The matter has not even concluded yet.

In a previous letter signed off by 12 doctors addressed to parents, the collective of medical personnel questioned the long-term safety of mRNA vaccines for use on children 10 to 20 years down the road.

Singapore's vaccination programme uses both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines that rely on mRNA technology.

Disclaimer to distance another doctor from latest letter

On June 30, Kho wrote in a disclaimer on Facebook that there was a “misunderstanding” with Loo, one of the doctors whose names appeared in the second open letter.

Kho said Loo did not consent to sign the letter and he did not receive the final draft of the letter, and that its contents were not his views or his professional opinion.

Kho then added that Loo "has had the mRNA vaccines and is not opposed to them".
