Why should foreign-born doctors (since most foreigners took up PRs but did not serve NS) be given a priority in consultant posts when they didn't contribute to nation building that Singaporeans did? If the resumes of a Singapore-born and foreign doctor are the same, shouldn't MOHH give the Singapore-born doctor priority for consultant posts? |
I am in one of the niche, more competitive specialties. Unfortunately, that's the way of life in most occupations, not just medicine.
To your point regarding foreign-trained physicians not serving
NS, I am sure you realize that SG women do not serve
NS too. Do you feel like your female colleagues are also not deserving of consultant positions because they did not serve
NS?
Having read through hundreds of residency applications over the years, I can assure you that CVs are almost NEVER equal. Some may favour publications over awards, and vice versa. But they are almost never equal.
