the phone is excusableconsidering they're also dealing with a completely different accent every time someone calls. Also, do you realise how much communication is non-verbal? Speaking to a stranger for the first time over the phone in a second language (or even with a different accent) is quite difficult.

Working in SingaporeWhich has 4 official languanges including English its kind of hard to master all of them beyond the basics. That said fortunately English is fairly common globally. How many of those who've replied master a language before they visit a country, same principle should surely apply!

You don't need to master a language to VISIT a country as a touristDuh.
But if you want to LIVE and WORK there, then you should certainly speak the language to a reasonable degree.
