The moonlight law applies to all. My 3sg used to moonlight as a waiter. I closed two eyes.
Many a level nsf moonlight as tuition teacher.

For doctor nsf
However nsf allowance is so low that they will not be able to service their tuition loan

In between the risk of default vs breaching rules, many chose the latter

From smc perspective as long as u are full registration, u can practise independently. So the burma doc who has twenty years of exp that just came to Singapore cannot practise independently but the baby mo can!

From moh perspective, as long as you don't touch intermediate and long term care, you can practise at different sites.


Tldr: as long as full reg, can locum
If Burma doctor can work in Singapore without restrictions, then what is the value of being a Singapore citizen? Might as well give birth in Burma and attend med school there (with lower tuition fees) before coming to Singapore to work and get same pay as local doctor.

I also agree SMC should not condone NSF baby MOs who willingly and dishonestly breach SAF rules against locuming as it reeks of professional misconduct.
