Now when I got the answer from school, I wasn't really sure anymore.
I might save the money or take an exchange somewhere else.
Thank you for your advice... So it is really that bad?
How long are you a "junior doctor" and have to work so many hours?
Why haven't adopted the way of working as western doctors? It is a rich country and could do that.

Hi I'm the one who told you to come here as a tourist instead.
I am sure you can see what I mean.
Things have improved from what I have heard but the reason why Singapore is "rich" and has a "cost effective excellent healthcare system" is because of the BLATANT EXPLOITATION OF LABOR.
They exploit young doctors who work to the bone for very little money. They also exploit people from 3rd world countries. Pay them pittance for hard labor eg construction, janitorial work, and 24h in home domestic help.
Singapore is rich because it exploits slavery. That's the truth.
If you do want to go to Singapore to work, it is best that you finish all your specialty training so that you can go to Singapore to exploit and not BE EXPLOITED.
I hope you understand what I am saying.
