How is life as a doctor in Singapore?

No I am not. Graduate med school at 24. 1 year HO, 2 years NS 27--> Try and fail to get into residency 2 times. 29-34 residency Not a reasonable timeline?

220-250k possible for non procedural AC. Sure you lose to GP by a bit at this stage but u can easily catch up later

GP that does not even do GDFM in SG, are they usually lousy / CMI type or just cannot be bothered to waste their time for this?

Does it help for setting up ur own clinic?

No. Most GPs don’t even bother to do it unless you are still young and single with lots of free time. Patients don’t care about GDFM at all. They don’t even care about MMED. They regard you the same whether you are a GP with only a MBBS or a FP with MMED. It’s all about the price and service.

They will just switch to another clinic if they find your service is bad or your price of meds is too high.

That’s primary care, you are easily replaceable.

Does panel insurance rate for GP go up for MMed / GDFM vs normal GP?
Patients probably can't really tell but curious if non-trained GPs just practice wild west medicine

What is the rough GP overhead annually- rental, medicine, labor cost and more etc. is it around 20% of annual income ?
