Because he meant it in a derogatory way.

No meaning. Just an etiquette. Female will end a sentence with 'ka', and male, 'khrap'. Sometimes it's used as a form of acknowledgment. Instead of 'hm ! hm !', she will acknowledge 'ka'.

Lee Is An Idiot ?
Mmm ... there's a need to correct the deviation. If Singlish is NOT compatible with the standard English for international communication, then we have got a big problem here.
That's as to say that we have NOT been able to achieve the first world standard. And that can only mean that Lee has to be criticized and fined $10 million for his educational policy failure.

Re: Lee Is An Idiot ?
Hehehe. After staying in LOS for so long, think most of my local staff also pick up a little Singlish. Nothing wrong with Singlish as long as the listener understood you. What's the point of speaking perfect England when no one understands? 2 of my staff are from England, they have to understand my Singlish else they can look for a new job.

Funny!! Sometimes is fun to laugh at jokes about ourselves.
Honestly this guys have not been to Singapore. Not sure which mountain is he referring to in Singapore and then you need to take a jeep up!!
Let's face it, most seven old kids in Singapore speak better English than most Thai.
I do business with my Thai office everyday and I speak some Thai. Sometimes when I go to Thailand on business trips, I have to translate Thai English to my Singapore/Foreign colleagues!

That guys is using broken Singlish.
Contextually, we would not say "too cold LAH!" as a precursory statement to a request, but rather "why so cold, HAR?"
"Too cold lah" would have been better used in situations indicated an unwillingness or to make a statement.
e.g.
"Why go up mountain, too cold LAH, take jeep oso I dowan"
"Go see show in cinema too cold LAH!"

Oh shit! As you know thai ppl speak very poor engrish.
And of course sinkies speak superb engrish.
Hell that's what makes them superior to the china.

Re: Wang Xin Ru
I don't get it what does her pronounciation on that show have to do with singlish? She isn't a sinkie i believe.

You Still Don't Get It ?
No matter which country you are from, you will never speak like an ang moh British, NOT even the Americans !
So, what's the ... our mother or national language becomes something like the gravitational pull of a huge object acting on another object flying right into its path - will not be a straight line. No matter how you see it, languages are always subjected to geographic distinction, cultural bonding, etc.
She spoke Northern language and Japanese also affect the way she will encode Vair Lew into Vair Roo. Most of us are Hokkien and we will never say Far Chai but Hwa Chai.
Hongkies are also doing the same thing to Engilish and Mandarin. You can't fault a Hongkie because that was a Hongkies' English or Mandarin ?
Obviously, there must be a standard. But, there's another question : which is the satandard ? De jure or de facto ?

Re: You Still Don't Get It ?
You don't see it. The thing is sinkies have always prided themselves on how good their english is especially compared to the thais. Therefore some sinkies would find it offensive as in how could a country where the ppl stereotypically speak bad english could make fun of a country which has a higher standard of english. Of course in general sinkies speak pretty good english in comparison to the neighbouring countries but still it's not as good enough and there are many sinkies with pronounciation problems.
