You know in Singapore not many people can accept people speaking fluent English.
It's an alien language wah.
Imposed on us by the baba bastard Lee Kuan Yew.
Lim Chin Siong wouldn't have imposed this type of alien language on us.
This baba bastard messed up all the languages in Singapore.
He doesn't know what he is doing.
And we have to suffer for it.

Most of the times, its not how you say it but what is being said that is gibberish.
For instance, the above absolutely made no sence at all.
Btw, I'm no fan of Leeky too, but IMO the above is a good example of "gibberish".

Pretty sure every country that has English as its main language has their own brand of "Singlish".
Personally i didn't realise it until i speak to my Chinese and Western colleagues. There's quite a bit of Malay and Indian mixed into Singlish.

Malay, dialects, and mandarin mix i know but i have never heard of indian.
In sg it is multi racial so there is no way to do away with singlish. When it is time for us to speak good proper English we will just do that.
