for most phds, industry is most likely going to be more lucrative. academia in singapore is quite lucrative but is hard to get [ i am from computer science so i find it competitive, but i do not know about your field]. plus , going into academia needs a different mindset which most phds may not have.

so, chose the area based on your ability and interest. in the long run, what you will earn and achieve depends on your ability. it may be better to be a good engineer than be a bad researcher. the vice versa is also true. good people will always earn enough to live well. though, phd does not guarantee to make u rich.
