I'm taking it with a pinch of salt right now since it comes from Temasek Review, but I don't know where else this will be reported.
I remember i was in beijing in 1998 for meetings, met some locals during day tour (we had 3 extra days holidays after our meeting), they asked me where i was from, i said singapore..
they went ..."haaaaa...huh where?"'....... I have to explain our location...tedious siah..

It was in TNP.
Apparently, the founder of that group remarked that he wants to 'burn' the MPs or something to that effect.
He claimed that he used 'burn' in the metaphorical and not the literal sense of the word.

I've only met a handful of people who mistook Singapore for Hong Kong. But a lot of people still say that we speak good English LOL.
the funniest thing is... we had a colleague from puerto rico and he is black..
the locals are afraid of him (some ran away from him) and kept insisting that he is from africa.. poor guy..

They always think that asians speak english with a heavy prc accent
You know the ones Russell Peters always do for chinese
Even the joke he told about Singapore, he used the typical chinese sing song accent which is really not ours at all

When I was studying I play a lot on USA servers and they always think that Singapore is in China and they always say that I type very good English
Or they will just assume I'm from UK because of spelling :P

Hong Konger speak English, dunno why but their Canto accent makes e 'sound' a little weird.
