There is a mistaken notion that English gave us a head start and was vital to our survival and ability to attract multinationals. The Philipines is a good example of a country where English didn’t provide a good head start and didn’t attract multinationals. Conversely, China is a good example where English wasn’t required to kick start industrialisation or to attract multinationals.

English is our gift from the British, not you.

Yet another example where PAP absolutely refuses to give credit to our people and take all the credit for themselves.
