The High Court took issue with a private psychiatrist for his "cavalier" attitude towards the truth, which undermined the credibility of his assessment of a woman appealing against her jail terms for three charges, including that of biting a police officer.

Justice See Kee Oon, in explaining why he dismissed the appeal of Hannah Ho Mei Xia, said he was "not persuaded" that the persistent depressive disorder (PDD) she had been diagnosed with had caused or contributed to her committing the offences.
