Why are so many languages needed in Singapore?

Singapore was a sleepy Malay fishing village when in 1819, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles stepped foot into this place. Until 1824, Singapore was still a territory controlled by the then Sultan of Johor. It officially became a British colony on 2 August 1824 when John Crawfurd, the second resident of Singapore, officially made the whole island a British possession by signing a treaty with Sultan Hussein Shah (of Johor) in which the Sultan and the Temenggong handed it over to the British East India Company. In order to attract people to come to Singapore to established the trade market and to populate the country, Raffles introduced "free trade". It simply means that all trading done in the country would be free, so people did not have to pay tax to the government to trade in Singapore . As a result of that, many people from many different countries began to come to Singapore. We have Indians and Chinese that come here to seek a living or to trade their local goods, or Malays that simply move to Singapore from Malaysia itself to trade for free. People from different races started moving into Singapore and live permanently. This has resulted in a multi-racial society in Singapore. The population of Singapore is made up of many different races, which meant many different languages. Hence, there are many different languages in Singapore, but mainly English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. People from the different races needed to communicate with each other. Hence, they needed a common language, which in the instance of Singapore is English.

How useful was the Singapore River in helping Singapore to boost its economy?

When Singapore was chosen by Raffles as a British colony, the purpose of it was to make it a trading port and a resting spot for British ships that came to and fro India and China to trade with the chinese. As trade boosted in Singapore, more and more traders came in ships to trade in Singapore. Most of them were local traders that trade in Indonesia or Malaysia, but there are other who came all the way from China and etc. Singapore River is deep in depth and hence, big ships can dock in the river. This facilitated trade as many traders can dock their ships at the port at the Singapore River. Many warehouses were built along the river to allow the traders to store their goods. Hence, trade was very predominant along the Singapore River. It was like the central site of all trade and economy. Without the Singapore river, ships cannot dock in Singapore and then, there would be a huge difference in the economy of Singapore. In conclusion, the Singapore river was very useful in helping Singapore boost its economy.
