      Dr Tony Tan’s son is NOT a licensed doctor


      Scroobal, Sammyboy forum’s resident PAP insider, has been leading an interesting discussion thread on Dr Patrick Tan. This discussion thread [ http://www.sammyboy.com/showthread.php?97759-Tony-Tan-amp-Son-lose-the-plot-or-jus-tplain-dishonest ]
      has been very interesting to follow as it points out a lots of interesting anomalies.

      One of the most interesting anomalies is that Dr Patrick Tan is NOT a licensed doctor in Singapore. Information about this surfaced when people looking through his CV [link] noticed that he did not serve the mandatory 1 year residency/housemanship needed to become a doctor.

      A check with the SMC registry of doctors licensed to practice medicine in Singapore [link] revealed that there is no Dr Patrick Tan Boon Ooi listed.

      Further discussion revealed that up till 2003, the medical qualifications from Stanford were not recognized in Singapore [link].

      Based on his resume, Dr Patrick Tan returned to serve his NS from 2000 to 2002. As he did not complete his OCS, he held the rank of 3rd Sergeant.

      Putting it together, in 2000 Dr Patrick Tan was a 3rd Sergeant with an unrecognized medical qualification and who was not licensed to practice medicine in Singapore. In spite of this, he was posted to DMERI where he was given the title of “Senior Research Fellow” to lead a sensitive medical military research project. This begs the obvious question:

      Is it normal for SAF to assign a 3rd Sergeant who is not licensed as a doctor and who has unrecognized medical qualifications to lead a sensitive medical military research project?

        Maybe Dr Patrick Tan is a PhD holder, hence the title Dr? and why did he study for a medical degree that was not recognised in Spore?

            On the topic of school holidays, 1 September will be half day for most schools, I believe. Then 2nd September (Friday) is a school holiday for Teacher's Day.... :imcool:


            Nah...I don't think 1 Sep will be half day because 2nd Sep is already a school holiday.

            If the whole school celebrates Teachers' Day together, most likely only half day right? :evil:

                  may be the med degree is recognised but he went on to do research

                  some of my friends did that, not practising, but doing research
