Singlish Should Be Allowed

WX&KH: Ladies and gentlemen, many of you should have heard of Singlish. This form of speech is often associated with degenerate terms. Why do you hate what makes us Singaporean? Is it fair to depise this language just because it is created by our own people? We have gathered today to right this wrong - to gain approval for the language of Singapore, Singlish.

KM: Singlish is the unity factor of Singapore as Singlish consists words in English, Chinese and Malay, which represents our multi-racial society. This will bring us closer to our friends of a different race as we would be able to understand them better. Additionally, Singlish have become a first language for most Singaporean teenagers. So, no matter how the government discourages the use of Singlish, it was Singlish that allowed the people of Singapore to bond together as one united people.

AA: Singaporeans feel better communicating in Singlish than in proper English. They understand each other better when they communicate in Singlish. They even use certain words such as "lah", "orh" and "cheh" to convey their unhappiness over matters. Whenever a Singaporean speaks, he naturally utilities at least one Singlish word in each of his sentence.

NL: Many people overlook the fact that Singlish is one of the most powerful factors that distinguishes us. Yes, one might argue that it is not proper. But Singlish, it is already widely established by our own people that it is part of our culture. This is something Singapore can actually be recognized for. Singlish reigns over all the other languages of Singapore. The Sweden have their Swedish, the France have their French - Singlish is what Singaporeans created for themselves, and it deserves to be an official language, not to be judgementally looked down upon as the nonsense of the street kids.
