Perhaps he came over with a specialty (eg the MRCPsych) - the basic degree from a twinning program is not registrable according to the SMC website, but that will not come into play if one has a post graduate medical degree from a recognized college.

IMU twinning degrees were recognised in Singapore for both dental and medical until this year.
It's not easy these days and I know for a fact in Singapore they pay more for local graduates ~10k SGD for freshgrad dentists. Foreign dentists get about 5-8k. What about medical doctors?

its all because of bad policing and control of medical schools. Go study in a country that has better regulation and stay there. Even in Australia it's not easy anymore. Many have to go to rural areas. In aus you're looking at 80-120k per annum. After 30-40% tax your take home is probably bang average.

Malaysia is churning out 1000+ dentists a year like rabbits. Sadly the population is not growing at the same pace.
