That was a personal Email to Jen-yih. I mentioned in that Email that :
(1) Singapore students are not allowed to use Dialect in school.
(2) Singapore Goverment does not encourage people to use Dialect in
public meeing.
I have no idea where he gets the idea of Singapore Goverment looks down on
Hakka people. I want to make this point CRYSTAL clear.
I totally agreed with Mr. Song point of view.
One more point: You really need to live in Singapore
to understand the Goverment's education policy.
