Do Singaporeans also speak Chinese?

Singapore is a multilingual country with four official languages, namely English, Malay, Chinese and Tamil. Based on the historical origin with Malaysia, the Constitution of Singapore clearly stipulates Malay as the national language of Singapore, mainly to respect the language used by the aborigines in Singapore. Due to internal and external factors, Singapore adopts English as the main lingua franca and teaching language.

Singapore officially uses simplified Chinese, which is consistent with that of Chinese mainland. However, during the period from 1969 to 1979, there were their own simplified Chinese characters standards in a short time, and simplified Chinese characters were the main ones among the people, but occasionally traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters were mixed. The official language of Singapore is English, so official letters, business contacts and other economic and business letters are usually mainly in English.
