If you want to be a FP who can practice anywhere in the world and feel confident enough to manage emergency surgical procedures or non-complex antenatal and paediatric care, then you should train for the FRACGP or CCFP and come back to Singapore to practice afterwards and raise the local standards of primary care.
I think we need to be fair.
The roles of doctors is to serve society.
In those places, country is big hence the local doctors need to do more.
Not justified to over train GP when A and E and hospital is 15 minutes away
