Malay speaks mandarin, Chinese speaks English
-
I went to a clinic this morning. there were 2 workers at registration counter. One is Malay lady and another is Chinese lady.
The chinese lady was explaining to a chinese patient in english about the packages the clinic offers.
The malay worker called out a patient's name. To my surprise, the malay worker talked to patient in mandarin.
The scene was very amusing. Try to imagine two chinese ladies discussing in english and a malay talking to a chinese in mandarin.
probably next time, while all whites, indians can speak fluently mandarin, our singaporeans are still stepping at the same place, speaking in english. -
Your incident does not represent the whole of Singaporeans.
Saya pun seorang berbangsa Cina, tetapi saya boleh bertutur dan berbaca Melayu, di Singapura pun ada orang Cina yg faham tiga bahasa, mana tiada? Siapa cakap org Cina hanya tutur dgn Inggeris? -

May be not this generation. Maybe this will happen among the younger generation where most of them prefer to speak in english instead of chinese.

Pembetulan: "Saya pun seorang yang berbangsa Cina, tetapi saya dapat membaca dan bertutur dalam Bahasa Melayu. Di Singapura pun ada orang Cina yang memahami tiga bahasa. Siapakah yang berkata bahawa orang Cina hanya reti/tahu bertutur dalam bahasa Inggeris?" -
