Languages

Whereas our corporate language is English, we appreciate that our international clientele will sometimes be more comfortable in discussing their requirements or queries in their own language. We therefore encourage our staff to become multi-lingual and recruit multi-lingual staff whenever possible. Naturally, staff speak the language for the location they are employed in.

In Singapore, all our staff speak English as well as one or more of the following languages depending on their ethnic origin: Mandarin, Hokkien, Teochew, Bahasa Malayu, Bahasa Indonesia, Tamil, Urdu or Punjabi.

The following list details staff members who speak languages other than those indicated for their office location. They may not work in the particular department or location that you are dealing with but are at your disposal to relay information or explain matters in your own language:
