Singapore has a well deserved international reputation for primary and secondary educational excellence and the quality of tertiary education is rising rapidly. You will not gain much, educationally speaking, from attending a US undergraduate business program, but the cultural, networking and recruiting benefits of a US program might be somewhat better for you. If nothing else, the academic competition in the US will be less, so you might have more opportunity to distinguish yourself.

You don’t mention your financial situation. If your family can/will pay for you to attend a US school, that is great. If you will end up tens of thousands of dollars further in debt because of attending a US school, that is another thing.
