Communication before strategy
Generally, Singaporeans are poor communicators. Most of us, born and bred in Singapore, cannot claim that we have a native tongue. What is our native language? For the ethnic Chinese, is it Mandarin? For the ethnic Malays, is it Bahasa Melayu? For the ethnic Indians, is it Tamil or Hindi? And, for the Eurasians, what is it? So, don’t blame us if we speak Singlish. Because we are not native English speakers, even though we may speak the language at home, at work and went through the whole education system in English. And, we are similarly not native in the other languages as well.
