"In the world of the future in the global knowledge-base economy, an individual has to be multilingual, and Bi-culture to survive".
Senior Official, Ngiam Tong Dow, "A Mandarin and Making of Public Policy".
Head, EDB, CPF, HDB.
These are some statement pose by a senior official that hold important office positions. The state is quite harsh as it says survival but not prosper. Be "biculture" and not only bi-lingual. Got know many language , not only your !st 2nd language or even third language.
Of course language here only include the formal world language, not other "language" like computer language, modern Internet/mobile message syntax, or ancient classical language.
Culture meaning East and West , modern US-Europe and Asia.
