At least you won't have any problems with forms that say "Block Capitals only"

Dude, your English is appalling, unless you Chinese is better and we're missing something, chances are you won't get work in SG!

Apparently, you don't need good english skills in Qatar is it? Give the poor guy a break, although he is calling himself an engineer, for all you know he might just be a blue collar labourer. He has done himself well by getting to a computer and type those words. If everyone could speak the queens English you wouldn't have anyone working in factories, construction sites or cleaners. Don't you think, nut nut?

Can't believe you guys really think English is a must to get every job and worse that good English is a must to come on a forum and post something

It would help immensely if one is trying to land a job in Singapore, today. It's not going to be any more scraping of the bottom of the barrel like has been done for the last 10 years or so. So, if you cannot speak English better than a local, then there is not much reason for them to hire you. In fact, you haven't bothered to even tell us what kind of engineer.

let me answer on his behalf: he is a qatari engineer.

You can get people who speak excellent English better than the locals or you can get really hardworking and skillful engineers, you can't get both, tightened norms or otherwise.

Let's say OP can only speak Aramaic and no English. Do you expect that ICA will summon a translator?

Says who?

Says me. You think those Chinese bus drivers who went on strike can speak English? When something as public facing as bus driver's job doesn't need English you think a factory worker or construction worker needs to speak in English?

"He reiterated measures that SMRT is taking to improve its communication, including forming a dedicated team of liaison officers who comprise Singaporeans proficient in Mandarin as well as Chinese nationals who are management trainees."

I have seen PRC workers, working as cashiers in groceries stores like fair price and giant and they can't speak a full sentence in English, all they can manage is a few words they have been trained in. Again considering how much public facing those roles are and yet they can't find good English speakers in those roles, the employers in factories or construction site would be least bothered about their English speaking skills. I think the way it works is the workers themselves are PRC and can't speak in English, the supervisors are Malaysian Chinese and they perform the roles of translation.

You guys are seriously over the top.

Chill WD40. You're busy slating us off, but you don't seem to have done anything to help kamalavelan.

How about giving him some constructive help and advice, if you can?

p.s. re: your reply below [Sigh, I'm outta this ]

His question is just too general to give him any helpful reply and he is completely unaware of forum etiquettes, so yes do reprimand him for that.

I was responding specifically to nut nut's comment that, you need to be fluent in English to land a job here. To me being skilful and speaking fluent English could be mutually exclusive.

You already said this twice but you did not make any effort to prove your point. Let me try to help you. Have you forgotten to mention the salary component?
