everything to the old man boils down to money..money..and more money. china which now a super economic power - probably the richest nation in the world now. hence, the importance of learning and speaking MANDARIN to do business with them.
INDIA is also another uprising superpower economy. isn't it time we are forced to learn to speak Indian too?
our mental minitoot must be fully overloaded with losses or what. what he didn't understand that many chinese dialects are our individual chinese roots. chinese is made up of many dialects. they have all their individuality and colorfulness.
such roots of our original dialect should be preserve cos certain words just cannot be more distinctively blabber in MANDARIN. just take those XXX expletives for example and u should know pretty well which one gives u the best satisfaction after u blast it away. it cannot be done in MANDARIN like we do it in our dialect version.
lau lee is really half way in the "spaceship" now. he's more like a spaceman totally detached from the ground. if what peasants wanna speak, listen, watch and enjoy, he should be the last one to impose on what he wants. and please, save all the big bigotry of reasoning.
singapore has already come so far.....and it's not just languages alone that brought us here. so please do not turn colorful dialects into a homogenous blant mandarin.
let the freedom of the people to decide. and for heaven's sake bring back those canto serials, those taiwanese hokkien witty soap operas. what the hell are we paying our licence fee for such limited and controlled enjoyment.
it's not fair to make the whole nation at the mercy of the whims of one about to be expired old goat!
