This is blasphemy to the extreme!!!

I am not sure what or why our esteemed first PM was thinking, however, switching from the Queen's English to American English is really a slap in the face to those who went through the system and did our dues. Yes, everyone speaks American english and yes most of the movies are from US. But heck, there is nothing wrong with the english coming out of UK and it sounds better. I lived overseas for so many years and I still speak Singlish and I am proud of it. I really would not like it if my daughter started to speak like and American.

I know that there are many who consider it as a previlege to speak with an American accent, even with fellow countrymen who are speaking normal english. It may be a badge of honour for them... but I am not one who is into such shit and I really do look down upon such people. Especially if they have only been abroad for a short period of time. (I do consider anything shorter than being overseas since young or for less that 5 years as short hor)....

I am just wondering if we have our heads screwed on properly for such a wierd contribution.... Man..... if thats the case, we might as well adopt everything American... then you will see the problems rising...
