Want to work and live in Singapore
If you only speak Mandarin, you can go to work and live in Singapore, because Singapore is a small place, and most Singaporeans can also speak Chinese. In the past, most Indians living in Singapore could not speak Chinese, but Most of them do hard labor, and Chinese is now popularized all over the world, so if you go to Singapore to study and work, you don’t have to worry too much
Introduction to Singapore:
1. Country name:
Singapore is a city-state, originally meaning Lion City. According to Malay historical records, around 1320 AD, Sang Nila Utama, the prince of the Kingdom of Srivijaya in Sumatra, arrived on the island by boat and saw a wild beast. The locals told it as a lion, so it was known as the "Lion City". Singapore's "Singapura" is a homonym for "Lion City" in Sanskrit. Because local residents are deeply influenced by ancient Indian culture, they like to use Sanskrit as place names. The lion has the characteristics of bravery and majesty, so it is natural to use it as a place name.

3. National emblem:
The national emblem of Singapore consists of a coat of arms, a lion, a tiger and other patterns. The red shield is inlaid with a white crescent moon and five-pointed star, which has the same meaning as the national flag. On the left side of the red shield is a lion, which is the symbol of Singapore, which means "Lion City" in Malay; on the right side is a tiger, symbolizing the historical connection between Singapore and Malaysia. Below the red shield are golden palm branches and leaves, and the blue ribbon at the bottom reads "Forward, Singapore!" in Malay.
4. National anthem:
The national anthem is in Malay." Majulah Singapura", translated into Chinese as "Forward, Singapore".
5. National Day:
National Day is August 9, 1965, which is Singapore’s Independence Day.
6. National flower
Singapore’s national flower is called Zhuojin Vanda Orchid, and the orchid in Southeast Asia is commonly known as Orchid. It was cultivated in 1890 by Ms. Agnes Zhuo Jin, an Armenian living in Singapore. It has a beautiful lip and five statues. The three lips symbolize the equality of Singapore's four major ethnic groups and various languages. The flower is supported by the opposite lobes below, symbolizing harmony, sharing joys and sorrows, honor and disgrace. The Vanda orchid blooms all year round, and its flowers are beautiful and dignified with strong vitality. They represent Singapore's desire for prosperity and its people's perseverance and tenacious fighting spirit.
