What are the human and regional flavors of Singapore?

I. Language:\x0d\ Singapore is a multilingual country with four official languages, namely Malay, Mandarin, English and Tamil. Based on the historical ties with Malaysia, the Singapore Constitution expressly states that Malay is the national language of Singapore, mainly to respect the language spoken by the local aborigines. Due to both internal and external considerations, English was adopted as the main language of communication and instruction in Singapore because of its multiracial and multilingual nature, and the fact that none of the four major ethnic groups has a language that is understood by nearly half of the other ethnic groups, and the choice of any one of these languages as the main language would cause resentment among the other ethnic groups. Although English was originally a colonial language, it is more easily accepted by all ethnic groups as it is understood by more than half of them. The origins of the Chinese in Singapore are quite diverse, and various Chinese dialects are widely spoken among the Chinese people. Basically, all Singaporean Chinese over 35 years old are fluent in several dialects, including Minnan (Hokkien), Teochew, Guangfu, Hakka, Fuzhou, Putian and Hainanese. In order to reverse the use of dialects by Chinese of different origins, the government promoted the "Speak Mandarin Campaign" in 1979, which has been running for more than 30 years and has resulted in a large number of Chinese now speaking Mandarin.[3] Although Singapore has struggled for many years with the use of dialects, there are still many Chinese who speak Mandarin, and many who do not. [3] Although Singapore has been working hard to promote the Mandarin Speaking Campaign for many years, the government still retains the dialect news program. Listeners can still listen to news broadcasts in six dialects on the City Channel, so that elderly people who do not understand Mandarin can keep abreast of national events or current affairs, so that they will not be out of touch with the news. \x0d\2 Demographics\x0d\Singaporean citizens are distinguished by 4 main ethnic groups: Chinese (Han Chinese) make up 74.2% of the population, along with citizens of Malay (13.3%), Indian (9.1%) and Eurasian/mixed (3.4%) ethnicity.
