Those are the same pple who continue to suffer from a tunnel vision what being "Understood globally" really meant, given the FACT much of Humanity speak a form of Chinese language by a large margin.

Your jhk mentality still linger on. Understood globally but every day worry but ceca taking over your job. Go and upgrade yourself like the Chinese in Singapore instead of blaming the Singapore government. Our government doesn't owe you anything.

We shd feel disgrace, if we can’t speak mandarin properly. This AngMoh Ger speaks so well in mandarin.
As a young adult, LKY quickly discovered how insecure he was when asked if he speak and read in the language....
Today, many major airports in Europe display signs in Chinese.

You are barking up the wrong tree like an imbecile. I am speaking up for the hoi polloi like yourself who are living from hand to mouth in SG. If the highly educated do not speak up for the uneducated, who will speak up for you?

“Our mother tongue languages anchor us to our heritage. They also offer us an edge, a competitive advantage, by allowing us to connect with people who speak the same language, as well as tapping into wider opportunities in the region,” - Minister Chan.
The announcements on Sept 14 elaborate on a thrust to improve MTL learning first outlined in August by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in his maiden National Day Rally speech, when he emphasised continued government support for bilingualism.

We have a good e.g. from grotesqueness with an ignorance that in USA you are defined by your Belief in the loving the fruit or not - That is why USA's next President keeps talking about "our creation" and prefer those from the same Belief system. Ah-men

SG didn't have problem attracting foreign investment when he spoke in Hokkien during 1975 NDP rally
It is amazing to hear him expressing concern about younger SGreans becoming complacent and falling birth rate in a country when English-educated were the minority.
Perhaps that explains later in life he warned us about the danger of Western values that came with the langauge policy in that decade.

Ng Eng Hen Monolingual... - 講福建話運動 Speak Hokkien Campaign
Monolingual language policy in schools is the biggest cause of decline for mother tongues in the home. If there is no change in government policy, Singapore will become a monolingual country within this century..
To have English as business language is a good bet.
while it remain very useful, but become too common, most countries do not need Sg to be middleman anymore.
Monolingual erode not only our heritage but competitive edge to be business and trading hub.
The trend as hub is multilingual especially is going to be multi polar world.

SINGAPORE -Today’s Singaporeans understand the importance of the Chinese language, and want to ensure that the next generation of Singaporeans have a good grasp of their mother tongue, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. The fourth-generation leaders likewise remain as determined as past governments to promote Chinese and maintain Singaporeans’ bilingual advantage, added PM Lee, under whose watch the learning of Chinese in school underwent major changes.
