新加坡人的習性? - 新加坡

I have no intention to discuss about the cultural literacy of Singaporean nor
compare it with other country, cos I am not an expert in this field.

I just wanna question the author's rationale in drawing those conclusion which
I think too exaggerate.

Btw losing cultural identity is also a common phenomenon in multicultural
country, so it is not surprising at all if Singaporean cultural literacy is
lower than Taiwan(for example). But because of this background too, their
international/global perspective is broader than Taiwanese(for example)

lower cultural literacy doesn't mean don't have.

And according to me, a lot of Singaporean speak good English.
I don't know in which field you work at, but if you work at some industry
(for example: investment bank), you can meet a lot of Singaporean who speak
really fluent English.

Thanks.
