'Should Singlish be the official language in Singapore?'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

'Should Singlish be the official language in Singapore?' No, Singlish should not be the official language in Singapore. Singlish comes from the word Singapore and english being combined together. What is Singlish? Singlish is the way most Singaporeans speak. Singlish is not proper english to being with. The sentence structure, other languages being placed into one sentence, and adding extra words like "lah, lor, leh,hor,etc." Since it's not proper english, the Singapore government discourages the usesage of Singlish, that is why they have came up with a programme, Speak Good English. It encourages the young ones in school to speak better english.
The reason being, the Government wants Singaporeans to be able to communicate well with the world as people from overseas might not understand Singlish.

There is an online Singlish dictionary for people to access and find out meanings of words or phrases they dont understand. http://www.talkingcock.com/html/lexec.phplexicon=lexicon&op=LexPKL

Therefore, Singlish should not be an official language in Singapore. Singlish shows weakness in one's english and neither is it something to be proud of.
