(Current student here) How difficult would it be for a foreigner (Non-Singaporean) studying at Wharton to break into Singapore PE after a stint at US IB with a BB?

I heard that there are language preferences for SEA language proficiency (though, not as strict as HK's requirement for Mandarin) and a preference for citizens given increasing difficulty to attain an employment pass. At the same time, I'm thinking that an ivy league + experience in western markets can be a good sell.
