Yes, I was educated and trained there. Can you elaborate why you feel SG may be a good place for a foreign trained to work?
Are you able to speak about the academic environment and its hierarchy (or lackthereof)?

Most of the world rewards hard work, but not many offers the infrastructure and safety that Singapore does. Without getting political, COVID-19 and the post-COVID changes have made us rethink what is valuable in our lives.
On our recent visits, we really enjoyed how often friends and colleagues would meet up for dinner and other social activities after work. That happens quite rarely here, as most can't wait to get home and retire for the night (even those without children). But then again, it might be because we were only there on short trips so friends made an exception to make time for us.

That's only for the miserable local Singaporeans who have never been out of Singapore before. People from other countries go to Singapore and like what they see and have lots of children.

May I ask why you insinuate that I am crazy for even considering a move to SG?
Politics aside, SG seems like a first world country with amenities that are often lacking in the rest of the world. But, I may be seeing SG through rose-tinted glasses, so please share the dark side of SG that I may not be considering.
I assume MMed is a prestigious degree? I am trained under a different system which doesn't offer this so I have no clue -- either board-certified or non-board-certified.

with your achievements, i am sure SG will welcome you.

Do most outpatient physicians work 5.5 days a week?
