Movement.
While he recognises the contradiction Mr Brown said said he
wouldn't be able to do his work without a strong foundation in
English.
"For me there is no conflict because i see the English language as
someting beautiful and you still need to master it. I don't promote
singlish I use it just like any other language and dialect. For me
its something i will switch effortlessly between. "
Mr Brown was commissioned to write a story involving six
characters.

tips and anecdotes like highlighting different aspects of english
like popular english pharses and quotes crying over split milk ,
getting brownie points and so on."

through mr brown's online story that uses social media such as
blogs, Twitter and Facebook.
