Kangadrool Supersonic December 2, 2012 Share December 2, 2012 (edited) Singlish is the most efficient hybrid language in this world. So advanced, we, Sinkies can understand all other kind of English, but not the other way round. If Singlish is accepted in court documents, think our judges don't need to fret over so many encyclopedias of papers filed in by our lawyers.

Zyklon 5th Gear December 2, 2012 Share December 2, 2012 Singlish is very important in singapore. It reduces agressiveness in the language and make people closer...in certain situations, you might be hated if you speak proper english, especially between peers... E.g. "Have you done the work?", sounds very authoritative. "You do the work already not?", sounds more friendly, like between peers. E.g. "I am not too sure about that.", sounds like you are doubting someone or trying to push away someone who is seeking help. "I also dunno leh.", sounds like we are in the same boat, me too have got no idea. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadX Moderator May 13, 2014 Share May 13, 2014 Singlish putting us at an advantage!! LOL! http://therealsingapore.com/content/sg-f16-pilots-use-singlish-stop-us-f15-pilots-listening-during-joint-exercise SG F16 PILOTS USE SINGLISH TO STOP US F15 PILOTS FROM 'LISTENING IN' DURING JOINT EXERCISE Post date: 13 May 2014 - 12:42pm *photo for illustration purposes only Dear The Real Singapore, I refer to the article: "WHY SINGLISH HAS TO BE DISCOURAGED" Being in the Singapore Airforce for many years already. I would like to share with your readers this story of ours which makes Singlish a very powerful and unique identity for us Singaporeans. The Spore air force went to the US to take part in their Red Flag combat exercise. For the first three days, our F-16 pilots, no matter how much they planned and prepared, they were always ambushed by the USAF F-15s. Then they realized that the USAF pilots were eavesdropping on their conversations (not disallowed by the rules), so they switched from plain English to Singlish/Chinese/Malay. Suddenly the F-15s lost their magic, and for the last three days, found no way through the defensive screen set up by our F-16s. So who says Singlish got no use har? Airforce Regular Follow · Top Commenter · University of Stirling Keeping that unique lingual proficiency may be our key to survival, if we are in conflict we can easily switch from Chinese to Malay to English, depending on our enemies, after all, no one can control broadcast, we can only understand the message.

Albeniz Turbocharged May 13, 2014 Share May 13, 2014 We do that in the workplace too, just like the F-16 pilots. When certain infomation cannot be openly discussed, we change from Channel 8 to Hokkien or Malay mode, to avoid eavesdropping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
