fudgester is right. SG
is probably the only country where its citizens look down and spit
on the people that serve the country.
This is an unhealthy phenomenon which is caused by minority
group ruling over majority group in my opinion.
For example there is a term "hokkien peng" which is used in an
unfavourable light.
But the biggest chinese grouping in Singapore is hokkien. The
reason why this term appeared is due to minority group ruling
over majority group. And this ruling group created an
artificial divide among the people of Singapore. That is those
highly educated and of a certain elite class must be english
educated.
Those dialect or speaking non english is of lower class. But
majority of Singaporeans are not english speakers. So
psycologically speaking I think there is an unconscious
thought in some Singaporeans to look down on their own kind.
Inside the mind of Singaporeans there is no image of someone
speaking hokkien, teochew, cantonese, hainanese, hakka, mandarin,
malay, tamil and you associate it with "elite", "success".
This is not natural. It is unnatural.
It is a product of a minority group ruling over majority. This
abnormal situation must be destroyed.
"Singapore is 77 percent Chinese, and you need a ‘Speak Mandarin
Campaign’ to remind Singaporean Chinese to use the language. How
pitiful! In addition, the campaign is in fact a deliberate attempt
to arouse fear among the non-Chinese and in turn the PAP use that
fear to club the Chinese community in the name of maintaining
racial harmony.
Do you need a Speak
English Campaign in England or America to maintain the continual
use of English?
LKY has succeeded, which the British colonialists
failed, to make many Singapore students hate learning their own
language and culture."

And so we have filth like below person:
The person most responsible for this unnatural and
unhealthy phenomenon is the peranakan Harry Lee Kuan Yew.
