But even if you get a PhD, you will need one from a good university. Local PhDs very rarely get into lecturing positions. Most of them are lucky to get post-doc roles outside of Singapore.
If you really like lecturing, you can consider getting a Masters degree (if you don't already have one) and teach in a poly. A far cry from a uni faculty position, but still a "lecturer" nonetheless.
May I know if you're working as a consultant in an MNC?
