Aug 24, 2026
Prime Minister Lawrence Wong says that Singapore must not become a monolingual society. In his Mandarin speech at the National Day Rally, he noted that more Chinese households are speaking English. Only about a third use Mandarin at home. To ensure youths remain bilingual, PM Wong says a combined effort is needed in schools and families, along with greater societal support.
