Singapore's War on Singlish
The article discusses the Singaporean government's disapproval of Singlish, a local slang that combines English with elements of Chinese, Malay, and Indian dialects. Despite its popularity among Singaporeans, the government, through initiatives like the Speak Good English Movement (SGEM), is attempting to discourage its use in favor of standard English. The author criticizes this stance, arguing that Singlish is an integral part of Singapore's cultural identity and history. The government's efforts are seen as an attempt to sanitize Singapore's image, which could lead to a loss of cultural richness. The article also mentions the censorship of a film and a satirical website due to the use of Singlish, highlighting the tension between cultural expression and government regulation.
