The FUNKY side of CHINESE

I was waiting for the train when I saw the ad through the glass doors..

MANDARIN = COOL = GAME?

MANDARIN + GAME = COOL?

I don't see how it links sportsmen and mandarin and coolness together.

But I sure find that Singapore is really going all the way out get the youngsters into the Mandarin fever.

Will they succeed?

I dunno.

Maybe with S-PoP.. YES?

It's pretty sad.

We never really hear Singapore pushing for Malays or Indians to speak their Mother Tongue language.

What's with speaking Mandarin? Low class? Uncool? or... you really don't know?

I think Mandarin is one of the most unique and beautiful language which has complicated strokes in the characters compared to the circles & lines.

Frankly, there's nothing to be proud of being a monolinguist.

Go polish your Mandarin, support 华语COOL campaign & be a proud Singaporean Chinese.
