Are the work hours and remuneration decent there?? Are there other good forums I could look up, and is the pay scale transparent? I've heard alot of bad things about hierarchical structures, long hours etc for registrars in Singapore. That's not to say Australia or any other developed society is any better. my 2 cents is that all medical training systems are generally stacked against trainees and junior doctors, who have to survive rather than thrive in an increasingly complex digital and medico-legal landscape.
