well PM Lee did said that in his first rally.
as for my RSM part, i meant he was being real sarcarstic when he said what he said. and me, being my BC's FOO, have to pretend i don't understand english at that moment.
i tend to go off on a different tangent sometimes. beg pardon. -

Me teochew. my guy teochew.Originally posted by Jason Bourne:Hi,
Just wanna do a quick survey in this forum.
What's your dialect group?
If you have a partner, what's his/hers ?
What lagnuage/dialect you use to communicate with her/him?
Thx.
English and mandarin only. No dialects. Cuz I can only speak Cantonese (follow mother one) and he can only speak Hokkien (learnt from his NS days).
We both can't speak our own dialect (shame shame
) -
Are there more Hokkiens than other dialect groups?
Last time ppl teased me and said that if I don't speak Hokkien, I am not a Singaporean. But as years go by, I tend to see more Teochews than Hokkien and Cantonese leh.
In my old work place, most of my chinese colleagues are pure Teochew (ie. both parents are Teochew). Only less than 10% hokkien. Cantonese and Hainanese only 1%. -
