National University of Singapore. They don't want our low standard Cambridge or Edexcel A Level. They have their own higher standard Cambridge Singapore A Level.

Assuming 2 equally matched applicant with same A Level grades. They will pick the one with Cambridge Singapore A Level and not the normal Cambridge A Level from Taylor.

i think it is quite clear there is a problem with consistency here.......

Every singaporean needs to do it? Is deferment allowed? 2 years ain't a short time.

ah.........that explains it........

one question......if a singaporean is resident overseas, and remains there, does he necessarily need to return to serve out the 2 years national service? Or can he finish up his studies elsewhere and either get exemption, or perform the ns when he graduates and return?

visualize, every male singaporean, and pr as well,  is required by law to perform 2 years of armed forces national service.........this is the real thing, not the 3 months summer camp of msia's ns........

It is not bogus. These universities in China are recognized by Singapore so they must be pretty good. I said that because I trust Singapore's judgment more than Malaysia's. For obvious reason.

And with China growing importance to Malaysia, there is a chance Malaysia will also recognize them in the near future but of course, no 100% guarantee.

Maybe I will go.If really worst until not recognized by smc and mmc still can go hong kong mah! But it is stated in smc website say this qualification are registrable.Not any note to say which programme english or chinese one la. Thank you our beloved senior doctor. 

Just to add something:
Over in Australia the general consensus for non-metastatised breast cancer is "total mastectomy" = "lumpectomy + adjuvant radiotherapy". Both will have similar, if not equal cure rates.  The location of the lump and the size of the breast, plus the patient's wishes of course, will decide which route is chosen. So no, the best practice does not necessarily require any chemo/radiotherapy; it all depends on the case.

As for medical education in China, well like what you said, if it's a decent university plus able to get you a job in the future, it's not a bad choice to consider. Oh yes, mandarin will be a huge requirement over there and I would sheepishly admit that I find it hard to explain certain medical terms in mandarin despite being a native Mandarin speaker as we're mostly trained in English.

uni of hong kong is really competitive. i think one or two got in from malaysia only. not to mention high cost of living over there. i did email them before i make applications. they conduct interviews in CANTONESE. so beware! brush up with your cantonese before applying.

starghazzer and limeuu are talking medical talk beyond my knowledge.  and am lazy to read up unfortunately haha.

you would not be required to know these details till your final surgical posting, just before you finals.......there are usually 2 or 3 surgical postings, the first is mainly to familiarise the clerking of patients and diagnosis making..........and the last, details into treatment options........

does nus still use the old basic sciences subjects method, or have they moved to the intergrated system? pbl is more interesting for students, at the risk of shallower basic science knowledge with black holes in some areas.........
