Thats why MOHH is furiously trying to pump up their FM numbers even at the expense of poorly trained so-called mmeds. Even GDFM is way better than mmed because it save time for the doctor to see real patients and also its just less pretentious than their internationally unrecognized FM residency.

Heck, even our neighbours up north FM programme is more worldly renowned than our locally produced FM residency.
it is laughable that many think neighbouring country doctors are lousy etc.

yes it's true for advanced treatment singapore is no doubt better but for the scope of FM in malaysia is way broader . they have to deal with literally everything , cannot say dont treat neonates, dont do OBGYN etc. and referring unwarranted cases will not go down well with the specialists as well as the patients (imagine a patient who has to travel far to the hospital only to be told oh this is nothing)

and that's why countries like ireland recognise their housemanship, and australia collaborated with them and recognise their FM training.

the people who entered residency have done the above... especially surgical based specialties.

so those surgical SC, C, AC u see so high and mighty barking at others, were actually doing the above .... so once theyre done, they get others to do it to them

it's all meritocracy

if youre really interested you'd do whatever it takes including doing things you wouldnt usually do, like licking boots... or something else.

so they grade you according to how well you do that. that's meritocracy.
