I heard that the reason why MOH does not want GPs taking MRCGP or FRACGP is because if they did it would mean some of these GPs will be eligible to move abroad to work as GPs/FPs.
Hence they don't want to risk losing talent.
In other words MOH is intentionally limiting the options for GPs.
If all MMEd exams are "formality exams" then why is MMed Fam Med different?

Again I think it is because MOH fears that if GPs all had their MRCGP or FRACGP they will likely move abroad.
Funny
Then why dun all the Malaysian or HK FP with fracgp move to Australia?
Fyi the m.med FM in sg is partially reco in aus and NZ
U need to work supervised for 1 year then sit their exams to get the local equivalent
If u have fellowship, it's directly convert to frnzcgp in nz
For NHS, the m.med can be map over directly.

Radiology , neurosurgery and pathology all sit auzzie exams
U dun seem the mass exudous over
