Chee Hong makes U-turn on dialect issue

[Confuseous]

New People’s Action Party (PAP) candidate, Chee Hong Tat, says it is “not a bad initiative” for “people who are more talented” or who have the interest, to “learn more about dialects”.
Mr Chee, who was the Principal Private Secretary to the late and former Minister Mentor, Lee Kuan Yew, was responding to criticisms from the public for a letter he had written to the press in 2009.

In that letter, Mr Chee had said, “It would be stupid for any Singapore agency or NTU to advocate the learning of dialects, which must be at the expense of English and Mandarin.”

Mr Chee was responding to comments made by the then acting head of Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) Division of Linguistics and Multilingual Studies, Dr Ng Bee Chin, who reportedly said at a language seminar:
