maybe you should realise that china is growing fast on track. few years down the rd, the ang mo will be trying to speak mandarin. taiwanese also laughed at us for our poor mandarin. -

I think the PRC people in the front line, if their command of english is less than 2 digits but still tries hard to serve you with patience, is still better than our local "childen of bo chap" manning the counter in some shops.
Their attitude is really like fuck.
Sorry, fucking is still pleasureable, their attitude is something like you try hard to shit, but the shit is just stuck in your ass.

of course not lah. we should not be too extreme when treating them. if want to complain them, it should be the attitude, not the use of language. -

precisely.
no one understands how i feel.
after a hard day's work & i just need a laptop bag....
i have no problems with them manning food stalls. at least i can point to the item on display & use my fingers to say how many i want.
but to be in shops where you must ask for help on functions of the items all.. how can put PRC there nia. -

true.. maybe the company is not able to hire sporean, cos they are cheaper, and they are more hardworking( some lah). -
How many locals can say 5 sentences with proper grammar and no "la le ly"?
-
wats wrong with locals speaking local style language?
-
Working in the service line myself, I do suggest that Singaporeans to look on their attitude as well. We are obliged to serve you but that does not mean we have to take your shit as well.
Often I have customers viewing 100+ of my items then just walking away. Or some customers simply coming to di siao siao. And please, we are just employees, we cannot decide how much discount to give you.

I would suggest you not to look down on your fellow countrymen if you do not wish to be done the same way. -

if someone is trying to sell me something, he should probably promote the item in a way i can comprehend...would u buy something when u dun even understand its features?

what if some people's forefathers speak malay, or tamil ? ....
you sound like you're a new immigrant ... please remember that in Singapore, we are a multi-cultural society, that's what we have english as our universal lingua franca ... if you can't take that, go back the fark where you came from ....

then I am just curious abt how you define a real Singaporean just yourself?
I suppose, you can speak in at least 4 languages and you can understand all the different cultures in Sg quite well?
Well, if you cant do so, which i think it's almost impossible, then you are just contradicting yourself, and denying their forefathers as well.

at least I don't get on my chinese chauvinist high horse and start spouting about denying my ancestors when I AM living in a mult-cultural society right now ...
what about you ? ... you think that Singapore is made up of chinese alone issit ? ... if you're so comfortable in a homogenous society, then I suppose you don't reeally belong here ....

I am afraid that your arguments on the issue of use of ENGLISH is making Singapore sounds like a homogenous society.

you don't get it do you ? ......
English, is the only way the different races in Singapore can communicate with each other ... never mind with the world ....
let me ask you this question ... what happens, when a malay or indian compatriot comes around and try to order something, or get some service from a service personal who speaks only mandarin ? .....
or if you have it your way, you'd have these malay and indian chaps learn mandarin instead ? ... huh ? ...
