Scroobal, in Canada teachers are treated with much much more respect than in Singapore. Private Tuition is practically unheard of.
there are private schools that cater to the rich and problem kids.
Same with doctors, they are respected a lot more.
It has little to do with the quality of doctors (Singapore trained vs Canada trained). it is purely because of the payment systems.
Don't you think it is ridiculous? In the end, it does cost a lot to study medicine both money wise and effort and time. There should be fair compensation for that investment.
In Canada, doctors are paid fairly and paid well. Hence there is no need to resort to funny self advertising and niche market segregation etc to make a good living. Just be a good doctor.
In Singapore doctors have to compete like crazy for the patient's out of pocket dollar. All kinds of shenanigans.
And you have sinkies say that they do not respect doctors in Singapore because they are too expensive and are in it to make money.
What you want? Doctors study medicine and work for free? You go see what quality of doctors you will get.
Or doctors who study medicine and don't need the money because they are so rich and all they want is the title of "Dr"? Yeah meet the doctors from India. Come from rich families sent to med school, never study pass and get title of Dr but are really crappy Drs. My preceptor in Canada said she spent time working in India as a student in a reputable Med School and was shocked what she saw. The med students just partied all the time, drove flashy cars, rich as hell, never study and know nothing. So she agreed with the rigorous process of screening foreign graduates before they enter the Canadian system. If you just go by degree from reputable university you are going to get crap doctors from India.
But sinkies will never respect doctors in Singapore because they have to pay them out of pocket. Nothing to do with quality or anything. Just money.
Sinkieland is ruled by money. Some will be jealous because others have more money than them. On the other hand the same sinkie will say he should have more respect because he has more money than the one who has less money.
Rubbish shit society. I am so glad I left that shit place and shit people behind. I am sure sinkies are also damn happy that I left.
