English is widely used at work, while Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil are also official languages. The culture is multicultural, organised, and generally punctual, with respect for different traditions and a strong emphasis on safety and professionalism. Lifestyle choices range from efficient public transport, shopping, museums, and food centres to parks, beaches, and nearby island escapes. Housing can be expensive, especially near central districts, though public transport makes commuting practical from many neighbourhoods.
