So if you extend the "lookback" period to A Level/poly time, law seems to give a better ROI for average performers on the whole.
The whole schtick with protection professions is that the competitive barriers to entry starts at the uni admissions stage (to a recognised MBBS or LLB degree). So it makes sense to lookback to that stage as the starting point of comparison.

Agreed with you on the ROI of law vs medicine. But that only applies for local unis. It’s kind of pointless to study law in a second tier UK/Australia Uni if you can’t get into the local unis. You will struggle when applying for a TC in SG compared to the local grads.
Whereas for medicine, any overseas degree on the second schedule is still recognised for practice in Singapore. Whether you are an
NUS YLL grad or Monash Med, it doesn’t matter because both still start as a HO.
