Hi,Recently i met my ex-Indian colleague @ Bedok and as usual we
greet each other.When i ask him where he intend to go,He said i'm
going to Tam Pines(Yes,Pine>Pinetree)not the common Tampeenees.I
was quite shocked when i heard it but i sak him again where're you
from?He said HooGang(The gang in English slang)not Hougang!I try to
emphasized to him that it is pronouced Tampines & Hougang but
he insisted it should be his ways of pronounced.At last to make
matter worse,He said that most Singaporeans speaks or pronounce bad
English with the lah,Meh,Mah and many singlish words. 
He even tell me that most of his Malays and Chinese
friends speaks bad English compared to Indians(From Indian,Not
locals).He also told me that he's quite surprised by some
Singaporeans spaeking in that manners as SG is quite a First world
in Asia!I'm not biased nor anti-Indian ppl,But the way he speaks
out to me i feel that he is insulting SG ppl in his ways.Arguing or
scolding him does not makes any good to me.By the way he is a
Degree holders working in a private company @ Bedok Reservoir
