Do Singaporeans speak Malay? Do Singaporeans usually speak Chinese?

When our country (Singapore) established an autonomous state, Malay has been listed as the Chinese of our country in the constitution, generally native Chinese Singaporeans can be proficient in Malay (Chinese), in the later period of our country's education system in response to environmental factors, and since the beginning of the colony, English is the main administrative official language of our country, but also the common language of communication of all ethnic groups, although Malay is Chinese, has been replaced by English as the common language of our country, and generally young native Singaporeans of all ethnic groups tend to communicate in English.

It has been a tradition for all ethnic groups in our country to sing the national anthem in Malay (Chinese), and it is also a symbol of the identity and belonging of all ethnic groups in our country.

The Singapore national anthem is available in English, but it is required to be sung in Malay as the national anthem.

Non-Malay primary school students in Singapore learn to sing the national anthem by rote, just like a brother in my dormitory who loves to sing Japanese songs, although he doesn't know what it means.

The younger generation of Singaporeans don't know Malay, and they don't have Malay education, but there are a few Malays there.

As for why their national anthem is in Malay, it's because they were independent with Malaysia, but then they split up and became independent, so the national anthem was created in Malay.

I'm Malaysian, so I know a little bit about them

Most Singaporeans of the older generation speak Malay.

Just like the Indians and Malays in Singapore today, they also know a lot of Chinese.

Most of the older generation should speak Malay.

A small number of Singaporeans speak Chinese, while the vast majority speak English. The official language of Singapore is English, which is the most important working language and the most commonly used language in public and business settings. Singapore is a multiracial country.

Malay and Indian compatriots sometimes speak their own native language, but most people still communicate mainly in English.

Industrial development in Singapore

Industry: Singapore's industries mainly include manufacturing and construction. Manufacturing products mainly include electronics, chemistry and chemicals, biomedicine, precision machinery, transportation equipment, petroleum products, oil refining and other products.

Services: Wholesale & Retail, Business Services, Transport & Communications, and Financial Services are the four major sectors of Singapore's service industry, which play an important role in the economy.

Some. Singapore is a multi-racial, multi-lingual, multi-racial complex society. Among them, 76% are Chinese, 15% are Malays, Indians, Eurasian people and other races.

Singapore's Chinese language is Malay, with English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil as the official languages. Singapore, a pluralistic society, has a very different historical background, social environment, and education system, and the language situation is very different, and the local Singaporeans mostly use English as the common mainstream language of social communication, and is the official and commercial language, followed by the mother tongue (Mandarin, Malay, Tamil), and dialects, Singapore's local language is multicultural and self-contained.

Current status of language use in Singapore:

1. Although English is the first language in Singapore, Singapore also values other languages. As a result, they have a bilingual education policy, which is also the foundation of Singapore's education system. In accordance with the requirements of the Singapore Bilingual Education Curriculum Standards, students of all ethnic groups learn English and their mother tongues such as Chinese, Malay and Tamil as their second language.

For this reason, a second language curriculum has been introduced as a mandatory part of Singapore's traditional English schools, while traditional mother tongue schools have been transformed into English-taught schools where the mother tongue is taught as a second language. There is not much difference between the two schools, both of which teach the main course in English, and the mother tongue course only needs to take a passing test.

2. This bilingual education policy has also created Singapore's unique culture. The coexistence of mother tongues and English has led to the reintegration, interaction and development of Eastern and Western cultures here, and the construction of the world's four major cultures here into a new culture that integrates East and West. In this cultural environment, Singaporeans have embraced advanced Western technology and ideas, while retaining traditional Eastern values and Confucian wisdom.

3. In social life, Malay, Chinese, Tamil and English are equal, mainly at the political level. Members of Congress can use any of the official languages in their discussions and debates in Congress and provide impromptu simultaneous interpretation. However, there are slight differences in the daily use of the four languages.

Hindu population is the smallest in Singapore's population, so apart from the Indian population, other groups have less access to Tamil, which is the official language and whose main role is to embody equality.

4. Singapore's nominal Chinese language, Malay, is not used frequently, playing the role of a national symbol, and there are also considerations to move closer to neighboring countries. A non-Malay Singaporean is exposed to the Malay language almost exclusively when singing the national anthem and taking the oath. However, because Malay is commonly spoken in neighboring countries, most politicians learn Malay.

The use of the Malay language has enabled the new brother Nin Ho Kapo to gain the support of ASEAN countries in economic development, and also influenced the development process of ASEAN with its concept of checks and balances, guiding ASEAN member states to promote each other and develop together. <>
