If you use an international atm (found at post offices, and citibank) yes you can withdrawal in yen, and it will be converted.

That is something you will have to check with Singapore Medical association. (Check source below) It all depends what kind of doctor, or are you a specialist. Sometimes you will just need to do a 1 or 2 year course to make sure that you know medical terminology in Singapore. As in Japan you learn things differently. I have also put the source for how to apply to be part of the Singapore Medical Association. Take a look at both links.

As a Japanese woman Iranian man couple (background) will we be allowed to travel to work in Japan?
We were both raised here but I am a Japanese female and my husband is an Iranian man background. Does the Japanese government base the decision on male or female sex of me? If there is a number of minimum required years we have been together 3.5 years. We also have been at this residence for 3.5 years. Thanks

Im not sure the detail of it, but one thing for sure is that japanese government doesn't have any issue with middle east people. they will treat you two as foreigner.

"We were both raised here " Where? Iran? It mostly depends on whether you actually have Japanese nationality. That would depend on whether your parents registered you with Japanese authorities. If you do, then you can move to Japan freely if you have a Japanese passport, you would need to establish an address before your husband could come though. If you have relatives here it would be best to arrange to stay with them for a few weeks while you try to rent a place. If you don't actually speak Japanese it would be extremely difficult. For your husband's spouse visa you'll need all his documents, proof that he had plenty of cash available, your documents, and your marriage certificate. It would also help if you enter the marriage on your koseki-tohon before you start the procedure. If everything's in order there shouldn't be a problem. But work might be difficult, jobs are rather scarce and if you and/or your husband can't speak Japanese you'll be very limited for choice. Japanese women can still remain Japanese when they marry a foreigner, and their children can also get Japanese nationality. It wasn't always this way, but it is now. And Japan has no argument with Iran, so that won't go against him unless he (or you) are on a list of suspected terrorists.

If you still hold Japanese citizenship, you should have no problems. Have you ever heard of Yu Darvish? He's an ace pitcher of the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters baseball team, and he's a mix of a Japanese mother and Iranian father, so there's no problem with Iranians in Japan.

Will I need a Work Visa, Travel Visa, or SOFA agreement to work in Japan?
I am a US citizen traveling to Japan as a contractor working on a US military base for two weeksonly in 2011. Will I need to obtain a Tourist Visa, Work Visa, or SOFA agreement prior to departing or will my valid US Passport allow me access to Japan and US Army CAC allow me access to the military base?

This information should be (and I can't see any reason why it cannot be) sorted out with your job contractor or liaison with the US military directly. Essentially speaking, anything that has to do with the US military, SOFA and military bases do not go through "normal" Japanese immigration procedures, this is why you need to contact your company and work with the US military to find out the details. In post cases you still need your Passport. As to whether or not you need SOFA Status is up to the US government. Again it is best to ask them.
2 :
If you will work on a US base in Japan, someone there will arrange visa for you. So you do not have to worry about it so much.
