It incl 6 months in Indonesian hospital exchange and then now back in Holland for another few more months to go. She wants to specialize in pediatrics and tropical diseases hence the interest in Singapore. She speaks basic malay.
Does that still make her case a hard one? Is there any chance with KK hospital here?
So it sounds like it really depends on a private clinic or a hospital here accepting her and then applying with SMC on her behalf?
i'll be honest and say that it is probably not easy, if impossible, for her to land a job or position in the area she wants in singapore, being a junior doctor on an unrecognized degree (by SMC) with the barest of skills (-just- enough to be called Doctor).

if she is really still keen on trying, i recommend she visits

at the bottom of the page will be links to each cluster and on the website of each cluster will be a CAREERS tab. send off resumes to all positions she thinks she might qualify for - then cross your (and her) fingers!
KKH comes under singhealth.
in all seriousness, she should chalk up a few years of experience before heads out of holland. as an FMG in singapore, her conduct and skills will be intensely scrutinized by her peers, juniors and nurses of all sorts.
if she wants to proceed in applying for jobs at a later time, partially completing a post-grad qualification/residency would help too.
as for private practice... she may be hired as a C reg doctor in a private clinic/hospital but she would not be allowed to treat local patients... and it's unlikely a doctor with her experience and lack of connections would get hired...
sorry i can't add more to my reply. ecurelix might be able to shed more light.
