I still don't quite get what language to speak in Singapore. I honestly get more traction with my broken Korean in Seoul than with English in Singapore.
Guess your broken Korean is better than English then.
Try speaking Mandarin perhaps. Singapore has a great number of Chinese people nowadays who can't speak English and caters to the growing China market.
