Only our gov and Singapore culture think that speaking writing good English is key to high post  My ex HK boss cannot speak and write good English But he is highly valued by co Hold executive EO post Many good in English but no brain no use

Although Malay is the national language of S'pore, English is the de facto main language here, and the medium of instruction in schools except for Mother Tongue. English is also the language of business in this country, so if one cannot speak or write excellent English, he/she cannot rise up the corporate ladder. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.
