Re: Politics & Identity & Language - the Lee Family Story
Do you know where the problem lies?
It has to do with the Malaysian Chinese chiu hu kia, Johor Ah Beng, that come to work in Singapore. 300,000 chiu hu kia crossed the Causeway everyday to work in Singapore and go back to Johor and most of them are in Chinese school and max Form 5 only.
They lack English language skill and start to from their fuck engrish and because of workplace Singaporean have to use their AH Beng engrish at work. I know because I worked in those type of work environment and overtime you have to go down to their level.
Where do you think Singlish come from? This is the problem today when you have bad or lousy neighbors and they drag you down to their level.
It is better to leave this SEA region and take your children to clever country, IMO. More you live in Singapore your children will be dragged down to the bad neighbor level. Now with Pinoy coming in it will get worst, more bad neighbors entered Singapore, I'll leave it to your imagination how it is going to be in 2030, start speaking in Tagalog?
Even Dr. M said Malaysian are copycat which mean they are cheat too; a copycat is a cheat.

You cannot 100% blame the 'jiu hu kia'....the fact is, the older ones, those coming from the "baby boomers' years speaks better English that we do & right too, it was those, when the Malaysian government took over....it went down the drain. As for Chinese, even the PRC tells me, they speak awful, with their accent...you can tell the Malaysian's apart with their typical accent...& one test, pointed out to me by a PRC..ask them to pronounce Flower in Mandarin...chances are high is, it is "far" & not "hua"...and there are other words too.
Yes, in some way we have inherited from them in speaking English & Mandarin....but we got ourselves to blame for the proliferation of Singlish & 'half baked' Chinese & Mandarin speakers...we have to thank our education ministers through the years & one of them was COUSIN TONY!!
