    THE Singapore Medical Council (SMC) has turned up the heat on startup DoctorxDentist, threatening legal action if it fails to accede to demands by medical regulators.

    The SMC had asked DoctorxDentist, a medical review and consumer education website, to remove in full doctors listed on its platform for review, which it had taken from the SMC's website without permission. This was to be done by Friday.
