I FEEL compelled to express my abhorrence of the use of bad
English in MediaCorp's forthcoming quiz show 'We Are Singaporeans'
- that is, if the trailers are anything to go by.
It appears to me that the use of bad English is the only tried
and tested medium to improve viewership numbers.
I have nothing against Singlish, but surely a line must be drawn
at bad English?
MediaCorp has a social and moral responsibility to all viewers
to ensure that the standard of English is maintained in all its
programmes.
