A Monolingual Singapore.
Better Growth. More Prosperity.
Better Unity. More Harmony.
Singapore will become a monolingual state after the passing of Pioneer and Merdeka generations. Is this possible? Is this good or bad? Will it help us to achieve more economic growth as there are savings and productivity gains from using only one language?
Single language use will also foster more unity and more harmony in society. One language makes direct communication and less misunderstanding through translations and interpretations. These advantages will then transform more prosperity, growth and money.
Is this a possible dream that even the USA can’t reach there? Wait a minute, where is the intangible essence in this dream? Do we really need different cultural intangible assets to unite Singaporeans? To achieve harmony?
The Asian Century is coming. It is a process that even the West has recognised. What it really means if Singapore becomes a monolingual state. Will smart technology and AI drive Singapore into a monolingual society? Growth over essence? No wonder today’s PAP is different from the past PAP.
