Foreign workers who can speak English are sought after in many countries, where they can get a higher salary than what Singapore companies offer, employment agencies say.

Ms Sheng Hai Ming, who runs a massage parlour at People's Park Complex in Chinatown, said English is not necessary due to the business' location.
Even though the massage parlour has its fair share of foreign customers, basic English is enough for her staff, who are from China and Vietnam. When CNA visited, Ms Sheng brandished a list of massage services and prices already translated into English and other languages like Korean.
Ms Sheng said: "In the business of massage, we don't need to speak much English as we use our hands to work. We only need to say a few words, and then give them our name cards. If the service is good they will come back with the card."
