@channelnewsasia: A senior patient paid about S$800 for a root canal in Johor Bahru, only to discover that treatment in Singapore could cost her around S$400 after Pioneer Generation subsidies and Flexi-MediSave. Dr Yeo Kok Beng explains on the Deep Dive podcast why Singaporeans should consider the risks of seeking complex dental treatment across the border. Associate Professor Jeremy Lim also suggests exploring partnerships with suitable Johor Bahru dental clinics to improve continuity of care for Singaporean patients. Is getting dental treatment in Johor Bahru always the cheaper option? #DeepDivePodcast #Singapore #JohorBahru #DentalCare
most food in Singapore is 3 times better than in Malaysia so im not surprised that even professionals like dentists and politicians are better here.
