Young kid know nothing still come here jjww.

It was not meant to be temporary.
But It cause a lot of distress to the docs back then
Only clinic running but no blood test, no x-ray.
A lot of doc threaten to quit.
Back then already no manpower
The powers that were quickly scrapped it.

Now
If they propose evening clinic like 430 extend to 630 3 days a week, and once every 2 weeks to cover my Saturday I would take it.

As we keep upgrading our property esp to freehold landed, eventually when we r older, we can cashout and downgrade to hdb or small condo and have more money for retirement.

Property appreciation is like passive income truly.

Can I ask how long ago was that? I was in polyclinic back in 2009 (15 years ago), before leaving for private, never heard of night clinics during my time there.
Unless you are saying it's way before 2009, then its kinda pointless as it's already decades ago.
