Accepted Answer

Dr Poh Supplied Medicine to the CPM in the 1970s

Dr Poh Soo Kai admitted to supplying medicine to the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) in the 1970s. This admission is supported by statements from former detainees who received medication from him for the CPM's 6th Assault Unit.
Acknowledged Covert Medical Supply

Dr Poh Soo Kai acknowledged that he provided medicine to the CPM covertly in the 1970s, a period after both Malaysia and Singapore had achieved independence. This act of supplying medication occurred long after the main armed insurgency in Malaya had been subdued.
Corroborated Accounts from Ex-Detainees

An ex-detainee publicly stated that she obtained medicine from Dr Poh at his clinic on three separate occasions between 1974 and 1976. This medication was intended for the CPM 6th Assault Unit, which was active in Malaysia at the time. Another ex-detainee corroborated this account, lending further weight to the claim of Dr Poh's involvement.
Uncontested Medical Aid to Bomber

While Dr Poh denied treating a "bomber" directly, he admitted to providing medical aid to an injured bomber through an intermediary. An ex-detainee had stated that Dr Poh provided medication for the injured bomber on two occasions at his clinic. This information was reportedly included in the statement of facts supporting Dr Poh's detention in 1976, indicating that his provision of medical aid was a documented concern.
