Possible, a lot of SVPs are quite young in their early 30s. But sometimes its about luck and who you know.

This is for normal corporate credit analyst.

The very astronomical pay for credit would likely involve writing the credit analysis for origination, capital markets/ipo. Which are the investment bankers in BB

This is just for base. I hear that risk bonus is higher than that of back office roles, but how much higher I am not sure.

I'd like to also add that a growing number of people in risk come from MFE/PHD programs. Depending on their level of experience they may start out as AVP/associate level already.
You're right on the numbers.

While some others and their talk of making 200k in 2-3 years... Yeah, sure.

Are you work in risk management role in IB?

I saw from other forum that graduates from NUS and NTU MFE ,SMU MQF can get such roles probably, is that true?
I am a buy side analyst, so not really risk management per se. Yes it is possible to get into investment banking with just a local degree, but the catch is you must have at least minimally a summer internship with a leading bulge bracket and ideally some connections with relevant senior bankers who vouch for you.

Risk management in IB is relatively easy to reach 200k - 2-3 years if you are really good, maybe 4-5 years if average. But to get into risk in IB for bulge bracket is very hard because of competition.
