Would Singaporean with double-barrelled race enjoy more benefits than those with singular race?

Updated by ICA
Singaporeans who are registered with a double-barrelled race do not enjoy more benefits as compared to those with a singular race. For relevant Government policies, such as the initial assignment to a mother-tongue language class in schools and the HDB's Ethnic Integration Policy, only the first component race of a double-barrelled race will be considered. There will not be any advantage in terms of policy considerations for those who register either a double-barrelled or a singular race.
