Old GP here. Can say this part is very accurate as Singapore healthcare is still very specialist-driven. Specialists are very well-paid for the work done which is mostly done by juniors in hospital anyway. As GP you need to slog yourself for half the specialist pay and you need to do it till you are old grandpa, while your specialist med school friends can retire a decade before you. Somemore if they want to work part-time while retired they can even locum as GP and steal your patients lol.
Advice to young birds don't do GP, and even if you don't heed that advice definitely don't get sucked in by their sweet talk and waste time doing the useless FM mmed which is not recognised anywhere.
