Delaying Graduation or Finishing school and finding Industrial Placement

Current undergradutate with a decent GPA (Second Upper) in Singapore. Currently only have 1 BO internship (Regulatory Compliance) and 1 upcoming summer Middle office internship at the Central Bank (Financial Markets Development). I have one last semester to go before finishing school. Here is the dilemma, should I delay my graduation and try a 6 month FO internship and then finish school or should I just graduate and try to find graduate roles without any FO experience instead?
