Why all the Parade commanders use Malay and not English?

[bigcockman]

Why can't we use English so that people can understand instead of Malay language?

Not everyone of us study Malay as second language.

Why discriminate against other races in parade commands?

Then why don't use Mandarin, Tamil or English? They are also our national languages. They should alternate the languages to be fair to all.

Hindi is not our national language.

It's an old rule from the 1960s. Back then, Singapore was militarily weak. Ah Gong reasoned that if the jihadist invaders heard our soldiers using m&d language while killing jihadists, the remaining jihadists may choose to back off instead. The moslem religion teaches that it is permissible for moslems to invade and kill non-moslems, but it may be wrong for moslems to kill fellow moslems.

Because last time in army...mainly m&ds are the SAF regulars cos they cannot get other employment elsewhere.

 

[steffychun]

Wait till they use Bangla.

 

[eatshitndie]

because “turun senjata” will be awful in mandarin. it will sound like “fang xia qiang” which can cause heartland aunties to wet their panties. “rusok senjata” will sound like “na san qiang” which will cause wet market unkers to go berserk with their cleavers. “hormat senjata” in mandarin will cause all kopitiam unkers to get an erection. meanwhile, m&ds and nehs will have no clue and sexclaim “wtf is that?”

Malay should be a prerequisite for citizenship. Those that cannot speak malay should not be given citizenship or have their citizenship revoked.
Pasar malay accepted as a dialect.
