    I know some people in Singapore and they tell said that slowly, yet gradually, the Chinese 'strength' is starting to diminish, that's because there's more emphasis on English and it is more valued - especially in education, and for the future.

    Unlike neighboring country Malaysia, Singapore Chinese mix more with the local population there, whether its european, malay or w/e. And so, there's another way that Chinese is being lost.

    Next generations of overseas Chinese living in Singapore (ie. 2nd, 3rd... ) don't speak Chinese, or know very little; hence, there's also another way where chinese domain is weakening.

    These are not facts, but just based on word of mouth:

    its really very depressing ... the students learned english from skl .
    i am so shocked that one fifth of e teachers in my skl speak proper - good english .the rest had many many grammer errors and wats more .. ?
    we learnt all those broken - singlish from them . its really shameful. hope e next generation wont have such problems = =

    Actually, I think they speak Hokkien and Cantonese more than mandarin. The government are promoting Mandarin as an official medium for the new generation. On the other hand, most of them speak English. Seldom you use Mandarin to get around in Singapore.
