In Singapore, there are 4 official language: English, Malay, Mandarin, Tamil.
Majority of people in Singapore are Chinese and mostly speak in Hokkien.
A great majority of Muslims in Singapore are Malay, thus Malay language is the lingua franca for Muslims.
Malay Language is known as:
1) In Malaysia: Bahasa Malaysia (Malaysian Language)
2) In Singapore & Brunei Darussalam: Bahasa Melayu (Malay Language)
"Salamat po" is "Thank you" in Tagalog. And Tagalog is part of Malay Languages.
The term "Selamat" originated from Arabic "Salaamah"...
