I created a Shortcut just to turn on the Bluetooth but it doesn’t work. I had tried restarting my iPad but still cannot work. (Pls see attached photo)
Also, is it possible to perform these actions in one shortcut (Ask for alarm setting time->Turn on alarm->Toggle alarm->After 5 mins->Toggle alarm off->turn on Bluetooth->Connect with Bluetooth speaker->play BBC radio) ?
I must admit I’m not good at programming 😓
iPad (6th gen) WiFi
I certainly think Shortcuts has a way to go. I haven't really paid too much attention as last time I looked the one feature I could really use - select a specific Wi-Fi network and then launch the app that uses it - wasn't possible, but I have made a couple to reduce otherwise contorted Siri requests. "Hey Siri, play 'And it stoned me' by Van Morrison from downloaded music" is shortened to "Hey Siri, stone me", which is somewhat easier on the tongue.

tt2 ~ On a related note, there's an unofficial way for a shortcut to open particular Settings panes – including the Wi-Fi pane:

I don't know about other "unofficial ways", but this particular one appears to be safe. ...But as the source article says: "Apple may kill this functionality again in the future; hopefully, they won’t."
"I just tried your method and there’s an error msg"
As tt2 pointed out, fix your typo in: "prefs:root=WIFI" and it'll work.
"I think I will wait for iPadOS update to fix Shortcuts instability issue."
Considering the wide functionality in Shortcuts, there are very few stability issues – so I encourage you to keep experimenting and learning. I don't know whether you have a Mac, but when this thread is viewed on one, your iPad screenshots appear overly large. It's not your fault, it's just the way these Communities currently work. ...But if you want a small Shortcuts learning project, try creating a custom shortcut which downsizes the width of a screenshot to, say, 500 pixels and saves it to Photos' "Recents" for subsequent use in an ASC post. (I'm working on a shortcut for use with ASC, and one of its Menu choices will be such a "downsize screenshot" option.)

Thanks, I still cannot see a way to select a specific connection, but at least that gets to the choices quicker.
