Singlish Security Lecture




Omg, this is uber funny!
On hindsight, I don't know whether I should laugh or cry; ang mohs are turning Singlish into a parody! And the way they repeatedly mention Singapore's local food, it somehow bears the same effect Mark Antony had in his "And Brutus is an honourable man." speech. But i can't say we didn't see it coming. . after all, with all the language campaigns - "Speak Good English" and "Hua Yu Cool" - that make Singlish bear the brunt of negative connotations and misconceptions such as it being uncouth and not a true language. We're denying ourselves the right to assert and be proud of our own identity. Akin to how some Chinese American families end up not knowing a thing about Chinese culture or the language, i.e. their roots. Sad. It's just plain sad. Ironic and sad.
