You can still practice independently without GDFM, as long as you are fully registered can liao.
the original plan was to phase out the MBBS GP. When they create the FP register, they allow long time GP to grandfather in without any extra qualifications. The eventual plan was that only M.med can open clinic straight away or GDFMers with > 6 years of primary care experience.

Covid struck and pple also never follow thru.
Anyway, some light la, GDFM exams getting harder. This year they have to take the same MCQ exams as mmeder and they actually hire SPs already. Standards are getting tougher.
hopefully primary care doctor standard rises.
