Most of you are just too coined in that little box of PAP.
There are four official languages in Parliament and Chinese is one of them; not Hainanese.
LTK looks very pathetic when he needs to listen to interpretation while PM Lee hoot him while he tried very hard and sometimes LOST when he translated his thoughts from Chinese to English. Just let PM Lee listen to interpretation while trying to understand LTK's rebuttal lah!
LTK has said he doesn't aspire to be to PM and WP not going to be ruling party any sooner. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using Chinese. In fact, if PM Lee or PAP shows any issue with this, LTK would have mocked them for their failure of "Mother Tongue" education!
Between looking like a lost sheep or tongue tied while debating vs making effective strong points during it, I would choose the later. In fact, I will switch in between languages!

LTK is not going to use Chinese in parliament. That would label the WP as provincial. They are already national. People will make allowances for the disparity in language skills. LTK ain't dumbo.
