COME ON!!!
This person is representing Singapore in the infamous, much talked-about Miss World 2009! It's hard enough for the reputation of a great nation without the broken english, but...this?!?
Completely Embarrassing. The next time I intoduce myself and say that I'm from Singapore, people will look up and notice, and instead of the usual "Oh its a fine city! Very clean!" or "Don't they ban chewing gum there?", they'll go "Can't you guys speak English? Isn't it supposed to be your first language? Are you a bimbo? Can't you say leopard prints and hospitality without sounding like you are lapsing into a seizure any minute now?!!?"
Wore a bijini down orjerd road?
Come on Singapore, you need to look beyond the neighbourhood ahlians and ahbengs. Your education system, i'm sure, is top rated. English is the language of administration in this country! Even if you can't help looking like an ahlian (it could be genetic, i mean, who knows?), or having a strong singlish accent, it doesn't mean your pronounciation cannot be at least close to correct.
Jeez-a-Boom! I need to watch that video again.
AND PLEASE, WE DON'T ALL SPEAK LIKE THAT, NOT EVEN THE POLYTECHNIC STUDENTS!
