How sg decide is really up to anyone guess. Prestige of the school , performance history of graduates from the school is one.

For Eg, ANU , australia national university set up its medical school not too long ago ( 2007 i think) but it got recognized in 2009

Anyway, even if your school isn't on the registrable list , you can actually apply to take the YSLLOM final professional exams and be allowed to get provisional registration in SG to start as an intern
That WHO list of med schools is no big deal. You try applying for a licence to practice in North America based solely on that WHO list you are not gonna get very far.
Does SG simply allow any dr who is from one of those recognized med schools to practice in SG? You need to have recognized post grad training as well. Even for SG GP work also need some assessment period.
