With your sort of level dun waste time taking MBA. The only Singapore based MBA worth taking is Insead after CBS moved out, but they are very expensive and will not accept people with your sort of exp.

MBAs offered by the local unis are sub-par because the purpose of MBA is to gain useful industry network and discuss/debate with top players to learn. You will not find many good calibre people in the local unis (most are just junior level staff in small MNCs, GLCs or public sector) which defeat the whole point of taking MBA. The private distance learning type is even worse…

At the end of the day, you just need to figure out what you want, nobody can help you with that, but the caveat to that is you must be realistic in your expectations. If you want an office environment where everyone is friendly, cooperate with each other, open to making big changes to improve all the time, have meaningful job and yet pay well etc, then I suggest you just stay where you are and dun bother because chances are another company will have all the same problems again.
