So the real culprits of high medical costs in Singapore is high and
rising salaries for doctors, nurses, etc.

Fire the local doctors and nurses and bring in Malaysian foreign
talent!

You are obviously a layman. One of main cost in providing medical

is in healthcare manpower. In Malaysia, a dialysis assistant nurse is 

paid

an equivalent of S$400/month. In Singapore, at least 5 times higher -
starting pay at S$2000. Similar ratios for doctors. Taking into account
operating expenses, Singaporeans are actually getting a better deal.

When a foreigner e.g. Singaporean goes to Malaysia to have his dialysis
