There is a funny phenomenon in SG that English-speaking people are considered higher class people.

 

When it is a common language in certain less developed countries.

 

Singaporeans commonly take it as so.

 

And newer immigrants /FTs knows about this too. :blink:

 

Even my neighbor speaking half-fark English insist on speaking half-fark English w/o making effort to improve/or not know how.

 

And it is commonly so.

 

And i observed many new FTs/new immigrants here do the same, probably infested by us.

 

But when you see the way they behave,eg,speaking loudly in buses/MRT/restaurants etc,they are no less than 3rd World low class.

 

And it seems they think they are high class and proudly doing it away.

 

Is there a correlation between English speaking and high classiness? [hur]

 

 

What you think?

What is your definition of "3rd world" behaviour? If it's about speaking loudly in appropriate settings, I've seen plenty of people speaking Mandarin (and they were clearly Singaporean from their speech pattern) or Hokkien or other dialects doing the same. I've also seen people doing the same in Eastern European tongues (these are Caucasians, but their mother tongue is not English). I've also seen Singaporeans engaging in lots of other non-civic-conscious behaviour.

 

Low class is low class, inconsiderate is inconsiderate, and it's not restricted to one group of people, so what's your point?

 

And not to put too fine a point on it, but "infested by us"? No offence, but you're probably the last person who should be casting aspersions on others for their "half-fark English". [rolleyes]

This, I agree with, but you do realise that this: (using) "half farked english just to put others down", is exactly what TS is doing? :D
