After 36 years, they've finally telecast a local dialect production. What are they trying to prove?

It is meant for those people living with dementia patients.

I recalled a show where the dementia mother asked her son " ni jia ba buay?" The son replied ,"wah jia ba liao." After a few moments, the mother asked again,"ni jia ba buay." Shocked, but the son still said to her nicely, "ma, wah jia ba liao." A few moments later, the mother again asked, " ni jia ba buay?" Exasperated, the son torn his hair and told his mother, " ma, wa jia ba liao. wah ji jia ba." . The mother nodded her head and said." ho lah. Jia ba ho lah."
The son heaved a sign of relief. Mother finally understood. He settled down to relax and closed his eyes. He was stirred just when he was about to go into dreamland. The mother woke him up and asked,' ni jia ba buay ? "

They should have HK drama serials in Cantonese.

I will second it. When the mediacorp dubbed the HK dramas into mandarin, it didn't do the trick. The translation lacks the punch , innuendos and subtlety of the spoken dialect. We don't enjoy as much as watching the original.

Some of the storylines and acting in HK drama series especially from the past are second to none. Even US drama series don't come close.

Obviously done to counteract the increasing number of cantonese speaking troublemakers from KL blended into our society. We Hokkiens already lost the island to FTs, cannot lose our dialect dominance too huh.

Yes now they por the hokkiens....next Cantonese should fight for their rights and ask for hk serials in Cantonese

They're trying to prove that PAP cannot make up their mind whether it's a good idea to ban dialects in their TV shows..

Old fart rolling in grave

 

[Brightkid]

Sheeeehh......this is a known mistake in PAP's drive to kill all dialects in the early 80's by banning all such movies on national tv.

Now SG has a generation of youngsters yhat speaks Singlish, half-past-6 Mandarin, and knows not a single word of dialects.

It alienated the old folks whose only joy and companion was the tv and radio, as well the Redifussion.

Now that the older generation of PAP is mostly dead and gone, especially the kingpin, the younger monkeys need to link with the older generation whose votes are easier to obtain.

Seriously, the error in dialect policy wipes out an entire generation of multi-dialect/language youngsters and oldies.

Old fart fashioned himself as emperor.....
Wanted to unite the 'tribes' and thus he sought to 統一语言. This is the disastrous aftermath of his flawed vision
