you will have no difficulty practicing your mandarin in Singapore. Don't get it wrong, most of those Chinese who speak English still speak Chinese better than English.
And you should also know Singaporean English is different from American/British English. I'd rather not listening to the Singlish.
Weren't Malays the indigenous people of Singapore before the Europeans arrived? (it was once part of the Srivijaya Empire centuries ago)
Geopolitics aside, it's strange that Malaysians coming to Singapore would be considered "foreign."
Malaysians coming to Singapore are not exactly considered foreign .. Employers pay them the same salary as they would to Singaporeans.. They dont get expat packages when they work in Singapore..

Yes, although there were others including Chinese there before Raffles. It was quite sparsely populated in general. Well actually before the Malays there were Negrito natives now known as the orang asli in Malaysia.
It is now full of foreigners. If they don't like foreigners it is now too late to start restricting immigration.
The country is small , restricting immigration isn't a bad idea.

Does Singapore dislike it when Americans move to their country and work there? I'm planning to move there with my husband in a few years and I'm worried by then they would have a very strict immigration policy in place because they consider the foreigners as "taking all their jobs".
