US billionaire Jim Rogers surprised by S’poreans’ poor command of English & Chinese when he moved here
He was half kidding.

You might have heard of the Rogers family.
They are an extremely rich American expat family living in Singapore.
Jim Rogers is a prominent billionaire investor who started Quantum Fund — a well-known hedge fund — together with George Soros, another well-known investor.
The Rogers family have made headlines with the insistence on the young ones learning Chinese.
So much so that one of Rogers’ daughters is able to speak better Mandarin than most Chinese Singaporeans.
The Rogers family have been living in Singapore since 2007.
Why did they move to Singapore?
According to a Aug. 27 talk Rogers gave in San Francisco titled, “Where Are The Opportunities Today?”, he said his main reason for moving to Singapore was to give his children the chance to learn Mandarin:
It would not be a stretch to see that part of this move stems from Rogers’ view that the global economy’s future will be driven by Asia.
Notably, he has even called the 21st century the “century of China“.

Finding out the reality of standards
However, much to the amusement of his audience, Rogers said he found the reality in Singapore to be something else:
He proceeded to qualify his statement with some tongue-in-cheek observation.
“Now there are some people who speak good English and some people who speak good Mandarin,” he said.
And then he joked: “I’m sure I’m going to be arrested as soon as I get back to Singapore.”
下午好, 我现在和我女朋友在ahem. 好快乐Ah Meng : " @glockman , Morning, 你吃什么 Breakfast, 现在在哪里吃 Lunch? "
He's just trying to be sarcastic because he knows the pap won't and can't touch him, and they love him for his billions."I’m sure I’m going to be arrested as soon as I get back to Singapore" sue him till his pants drop!

I never have this problem with hongkies Even though I can't read and write cina. I just tell them I have no formal cina education n they say it's ok. U willing to speak n willing to learn so it's good enoughI will share with you guys that my Mandarin is truly FUCKED up!
I thought I could speak Mandarin and Cantonese and serve the Chinese population in Calgary.
After 3 years I gave up. Constantly ridiculed by the China and Hongkie patients for not knowing words.
Sorry man I don't speak those languages apart from at work. And my vocabulary sucks.
You see in Chinese classes in Sinkieland they love to make us learn all those fucking idioms!!!!! FOR FUCKING WHAT MAN?
Instead of having us learn words to improve vocabulary. We learn all these fucking flowery crap phrases called CHENG YU which is FUCK SAKE NO USE unless you want to be some MING DYNASTY SCHOLAR OR POET!
Anyway fuck the chinese lah! Come to Canada, refuse to learn English expect the Canadians to learn Chinese!
Tat is singkies speaking singlish. But the point still not addressed is what is good mandarin? Mudland cinas who r cina educated. Is their Mandarin good enough? Singkie ah pek educated in nantah is their Mandarin good enough?Bad as in Sinkies level of vocabulary in the Chinese language SUCKS!
They cannot speak FULLY in Mandarin because they dont know the Chinese words to many daily things not to mention technical jargon in specific fields.
And EVEN if the KNOW the words, they often like to replace the chinese word with the english word if it is easier to say.
So you end up having sentences with BOTH Chinese and English in ONE sentence!
eg
"你想 order 什么? 我在想 popcorn and nachos."
"Later go where eat lunch? Then after lunch, 我们去 NTUC ok. I need to buy tissue paper for office lor"
Even some forumers here do that when writing!
The PRC Chinese don't appreciate that. And they wont understand this mix of different languages in each sentence.
The English speakers will not understand either with the mix of Chinese words.
So you are neither here nor there.
Further more, the GRAMMAR used by sinkies is CHINESE MANDARIN grammar. The sentence structure spoken follows that of a mandarin sentence. Broken grammar.
And I cringe whether I hear mixture of Enhlish Mandarin and Hokkien cumming out of Sinkies' mouth:
Examples:
1. Tomorrow 我们去那里?Take MRT or Bus?
2. He is damn suay lor, 每次 tio sabo one.
Evil race angmoh never failed to critize others except themselves...
