Singapore may be many of those things but it's not "monocultural". Besides the fact that it has 4 official languages, foreigners make up about 30% of the resident population - a much higher portion than the USA, for example!
- eru 3y ago> [...] foreigners make up about 30% of the resident population - a much higher portion than the USA, for example! I mostly disagree with acyou's comment, but since Singapore is a city as much as a state, the more enlightening comparison might be with how many of eg New York City's residents were born out of town? (Or perhaps how many of NYC's residents were born out of the country? It's murky, and there might not be one best comparison.) In any case, I agree that Singapore is not 'monocultural'.
