Viets i am not so sure. But the HKers I saw integrate very well. Of course they have their cliques but the key point is that I did not see how accents have made them being excluded by OZs and Kiwis. TS made it sound like most of the OZs are elitists who speak only with people who speak with an OZ/ANGMOH accent. I detest that, it is an unfiar reflection of OZs and also a reflection of how stupidly desperate and naive of TS.

maybe TS has self-inferiority complex or insecurity issues?

Ok fair, then i think he gotta seek help. If not, after this, he would wear what he thinks are ang moh clothes to gain acceptance. Then after that, he will bleach him skin white to gain acceptance.

I dropped my Singaporean Accent and picked up the South London accent by accident.

i hated it when i came to USA, people didnt understand me. But when I finally talked to a singaporean 4 years later. I found that I loved it. Its like an identity.

Do you mean going back to singlish or speaking like an American? I have seen Australians who have lived in US almost all the lives but speaking like they never left their homeland the moment they meet their fellow kaki-lang.

Most singaporeans here i know dont speak singlish to locals, let alone the singaporean accent. We singaporeans are very used to code switching. I for one, speak hokkien to my grandman, chinese to PRC (which are alot here in melbourne), singlish to Singaporeans and ordinary english to locals, with the singaporean accent slight phased out. I even code switch between different levels of singlish depending on the person i talk to.
