Quite ironic that you call it selection bias.
Let me give you an example so you understand what selection bias is. Are Singaporeans rich? Are the average Singaporeans richer than the average guy from Country X? Yes.
Oh but I know many rich guys from Country X. Does that change the empirical fact that the average Singaporean is equivalent to the top 10% of Country X? Nope.
Why did you select the top 10% then? Selection bias.
Second. Do successful persons from a delisted school in Country X work in Country X? Yes. Let's take your assumption that working at Firm Y in Country X is an indicator of success. Is there a reason why persons from Country A do not work at Firm Y in Country X? Yes.
This is because they don't live there you moron

Yeah that’s why so many posters are asking whether it’s better to study law in England rather than Singapore so that they don’t end up in the selection bias like you mentioned.
Go overseas in an attempt to beat the odds rather than stay in Singapore and be part of selection bias.
