I have no intention to discuss about the cultural literacy of Singaporean nor compare it with other country, cos I am not an expert in this field. I just wanna question the author's rationale in drawing those conclusion which I think too exaggerate. Btw losing cultural identity is also a common phenomenon in multicultural country, so it is not surprising at all if Singaporean cultural literacy is lower than Taiwan(for example). But because of this background too, their international/global perspective is broader than Taiwanese(for example) lower cultural literacy doesn't mean don't have. And according to me, a lot of Singaporean speak good English. I don't know in which field you work at, but if you work at some industry (for example: investment bank), you can meet a lot of Singaporean who speak really fluent English.
