Actually nus and ntu has been very accepting of diploma now a days. You can't run away from academic excellence when you want to do medicine. Results not good, just admit it, no need to justify. I'm an Australian graduate so I can tell u I know how lax their entry requirements are.
Bluff us ok, bluff yourself for what.
Still want to aim for Duke nus? Got money go Australia redo 2 years of foundation studies then aim for undergraduate entry . Higher chance

It's very funny when young 20 year old chaps who had never work a single day in their life say they dun mind the working hours and everything else. Fyi, real doctoring is nowhere close to what you see on Grey's anatomy or new Amsterdam TV shows.

Fyi, not that hard for fmg (foreign medical graduate , you use IMG wrongly) to get a speciality training position in sg. U try applying for ortho position in Australia,. Go to the racs website and see how they calculate the points. U literally have to be godlike to get a position. In UK, it's almost impossible as a foreigner.
Sg is really a walk in the park comparatively. You just need to show commitment , dun piss off anybody , show some intelligence and you will get in after a year or 2. So easy to get in that quit rate is quite high..
UK doable if you tick the boxes and play the game. Most specialties attainable, maybe neurosurg, cardio are difficult. Know Singaporeans in run through surgical programmes, radiology etc

To the poster, try IMU, or those UK malaysian unis. If not try India. Pass PLAB work in UK. I'm a UK grad working in UK. Next time probably even harder to specialise in sg, I wouldn't think it's wise to go med school tbh if want to practise in sg. Think about alternative careers
