Well I'm guessing those are probably foreign specialists for companies that do business all over the world. How many native Singaporeans speak fluent Italian?

I think it's more likely that anyone who lives in Singapore and speaks a language other than the 4 listed here, then they will certainly ALSO speak at least one of these 4 languages.

If your first language isn't English/Mandarin/Malay/something Indian, why are you living in Singapore? Probably because you were invited there to do a specific job.
