SLing 1st Gear October 2, 2022 Share October 2, 2022 Don’t be fooled by only 2 Indian medical colleges accepted in Singapore. They can produce more than ours can & graduates from more than one cohort can apply. Local trained Drs tend to leave. Indian / foreign Drs tend to remain in public sector. Gradually, their proportion will increase. Future graduates will have fewer chances to be promoted. Look at the staff proportions at the smaller public hospital & when the new one opens (somewhere in Woodlands or Tuas?) Those who remain in public service will eventually be running the public institutions and become part of your govt. Don’t believe? How many “ex-PR’s” already in such positions? Talk to native Sg people who have spent large sums of money on their children’s education (after serving NS) only to realise their kids feel short-changed National cohesion is not from putting up a big show at NDP. It is from giving your own people a real home. Not from living in an office space where “meritocracy” is used to import people considered more useful. There is something wrong with your public healthcare system, MOH. Fix it. Disclaimer: I am not blind to the fact that we need FT’s. It is not the principle but the implementation that I am criticising. Don’t create some straw man argument about how it is impossible to function without importing talent etc etc. People have seen through that tactic 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't train enough doctor? doc from other country are better? why some many doc giving up working in public and go private? too many lah. We want to be medical hub and all those medical tourists from other countries add to the demand. Even in public hospitals. How cum no one mentions this leh? Cos it is too lucrative for the garmen. Think of all the money they spend here. Why not add a 50% ABSD equivalent to manage external demands? Or have a COE system allocating maybe 5000 slots per month for anyone wanting to seek treatments here? Edited October 2, 2022 by Volvobrick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we hold them to that and no more excuses? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
