Not all the language in Singapore is British English. Some of it is interchangeable with American English, like “queue up” or “stand in line.” Some is American, like “soccer.” Some is just Asian or Australian. Whereas we Americans say “for here” and “to go,” I’ve learned the hard way that many Singaporeans only understand “dine in” and “take away.”
