Mercedes.Benz

[bigcockman]

Why in Singapore we call Mercedes Benz 马赛地 but Ah Tiongs and ATBs in Singapore call it 奔驰?

Why China people like to change our local language of calling things?

Like 我去 巴刹, the stupid Ah Tiongs and ATBs will say 我去 菜市.

Why China people cannot use our language when they want to come here to live?

 

[LITTLEREDDOT]

Non-Chinese words (Malay, Indian) have seeped into the local Chinese language which the PRCs do not know.
E.g. the local word for market 巴刹 is derived from the Malay word for market: "pasar". Can't expect Ah Tiongs and ATBs to know.

Does that mean they never even attempt to integrate into our Singaporean culture and local lingo? Then if they don't want to integrate, they should go home to their own country. Is it like that say correct?
