Singaporeans cant pronounce the 'H' as well

Three = tree
Thor = Tor


there are so many words ,sinkies cant pronounce properly..flour is just the tip of the iceberg...words that immediately come to mind are"purchase",beach,....project and produce(two ways of saying them)..etc..and the fact that singkies pronounce every word in a flat tone with no stresses..practically any word thats more than one syllable
is pronounced wrongly, eg people becomes peeper..aircon becomes acorn

I believe it has something to do with the Green Movement. You save more energy silencing the "h". No problem with that.

Because people like limpeh I use that to our advantage, knowing full well that it will scare off the front-line peons like you and get us talking to someone who can make decisions.

Rest be assured though, after we get things done our way, we tok cock with your superiors macham ar kah chee.

never been a customer service staff but i truly despise ppl who kek the accent to appear like they've got clout and forcefully get things done their special way. if u can't talk sense without faking an accent, u can't talk sense.

my other pet peeve is the kek accent while speaking broken english type.

How do americans or rather in fact all ang mohs i suppose pronounce "karaoke"?

The proper pronounciation is "KA-RA-OKAY" not "CAREY-OKEY"
