why learn a new language that you are going to forget in a year after moving out of the country? If you only spend a couple of years in the country I don't see the point. I worked in many European countries as a software engineer: France, Germany, Italy. Forgot everything about those languages. Now I'm in Singapore for 3 years, I don't even bother.

If you live in Singapore learning Malay is recommended it is an very easy and forgiving language. Being one of the most spoken languages in the region I think there are over 100 million speakers of different variants, and probably a lot more that can communicate with it.
