Is Singapore’s Social Compact At Risk Because of English? [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 27 ft That Property Guy]
Is Singapore’s social compact at risk because of English? Following the recent debate over new Singapore citizens' selection process and criteria between Josephine Teo and Pritam Singh, it has sparked a question in our minds on whether being bilingual is a mandatory skill to have. Why must we learn more than just our mother tongue and does speaking multiple languages truly affect our shot at success? Will conducting a mandatory English exam for people who want to become citizens of Singapore truly improve the country?—Welcome to The Financial Coconut, your source for empowering financial knowledge and unlocking possibilities.
