Singapore is well known as a multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-religious nation. And this【B1】is gradually becoming internalized as a special feature of Singaporean culture. Besides, Singapore is at the crossroads【B2】East meets West and enjoys the benefit of the co-existence of【B3】cultures. Two seemingly【B4】incidents that took place recently appeared equally ironical upon closer scrutiny. In the first case, the president of National Technological University found the use of Mandarin【B5】too popular on campus and so urged students to speak more English. In the second case, in response【B6】customer complaints, an expatriate executive of Borders told staff to stick to English at work. For historical reasons, the call by NTU which is located on the site of the former Mandarin-speaking Nantah appears to be an even【B7】irony. At a time when the government is【B8】the use of Mandarin to keep up with changes in the world, such actions that go against the trend provide【B9】for thought. Yes, their【B10】about learning English and about the status of English can be understood. What is【B11】is who then are our multi-lingual society supposed to serve? Is multi-lingualism a burdern, a way to【B12】off, just a symbol, or is it a tool and an advantage to benefit the public?【B13】the interest of the nation, we have made English the official and common language to help foster racial harmony and【B14】us with the world. Yet language in a way is inextricable from considerations such as political correctness, prestige and status. For a long time to come, the【B15】of English as an official language is unlikely to be shaken. The question is: when service departments deal with the public, do they just【B16】to the rules and not exercise any flexibility or do they make full use of our multi-lingual advantage to provide【B17】service to the ordinary people? It is true that most customers at an English bookshop maybe English-educated and speak English【B18】, but if speaking Mandarin makes some people feel more at home or comfortable, do we have to【B19】on speaking English? Even someone who is extremely【B20】in English, which is not his mother tongue, may well enjoy being spoken to in his mother tongue. Can this potentially be a "win-win" sales strategy?
