He also mention to me psych consultation related jobs r scarce locally.

If you guys cant even find these online, maybe youre not cut out for masters. There is no body that gives accreditation for psychology masters in Singapore. But it is pretty well regarded that to be a psychologist, at least at an IMH standard, you need a Phd. So your friend skipping his masters for a phd is a good move. To be regarded as a psychologist, one needs a phd. Masters are not that well regarded. Even with a masters, one can only be considered as a counsellor, like those that work with NIE/MOE.
