We better stick with Singlish.

Code switch.
You have to speak proper English for broadcast purposes, and Singlish for informal purposes.

yes, i have this problem. Friends don't like it when I speak and use proper English. They don't use proper English so they don't like others to use proper English. Many times because of this, I lose friendship. Think I still prefer to speak proper English to the native speakers.Originally posted by Xephone_xenon:This is the kind of singaporkreans mentality that is stopping us from trying to speak good english.

Singaporeans themselves have a problem..when they hear their friends speaking proper english with the right accent (British preferrably), they will think their friend is trying to act pro..but in fact they are the ones that doesn't know how to speak proper english..well of course we can never speak like Brits, but if we emulate them, we are already trying our best to speak proper english that should, in fact, be learnt by everybody in Singapore..
