German culture has much to be desired: efficiency and organization is their hallmark, something our culture totally lacks. Learning an european language is also an added advantage, since Singapore is beginning to open up and attract european businesses and joint ventures.
And for those ignorant few, most Germans speak English. As part of standard european cirriculum, they are obliged to learn native German and two other european languages; and most choose English as one of them.
