IMO support is not great at Big4 but that's kind of the standard across Singapore firms.

Working at A&G, being exposed to these deals, and working with partners who have a reputation in the market will all help to build your CV and look for exit options. As far as I can remember, A&G M&A used to be the place where all the international firms poached their M&A associates from - seems that international firms have expanded to include R&T, WongP etc. into their hiring pool, but I'm pretty sure that A&G M&A is still preferable.
