@@philip6665 您好，首先说明一下，我算是您口中的“多数年轻人”的例外吧（？）上学身边的确有不少同学因为功利心而选择在中学修读高级华文（我自己也是高华生）。当然，华文华语水平在年轻一代普遍下降，这已经是摆在眼前的事实，就算是总理与政府、学校及教育部的推广华文学习委员会极力推广，成果的验收仍需时间。我不清楚您是不是新加坡人，但对于您这样的言论是有感触的，毕竟自己也梦想着救治新加坡华人的华文书写及语言交流程度。可是今天借这个机会，想要跟您说，I am Singaporean. Granted, my great grandfather did come from China. Even so, I was born here, I grew up here, my identity lies here, as a Singaporean, and not anywhere else. Although I do not support discrimination and bigotry (most of my friends in jc are, in fact, PRCs), I am sorry but I don't see anything wrong with specific Singaporeans having issues against specific PRCs. This is a result of inevitable differences between certain individuals, not so much about the nationality, or "hating the country of their ancestors". 因为成长环境不一样，做事的方式难免会有所不同，人与人之间也才会有产生摩擦，而类似事件发生的概率不只是局限在新加坡人与中国人之间，国籍，只不过是为了炒作而故意贴上的标签。One last thing to point out, hate, is a strong word, and as far as I know, lack of interest doesn't necessarily mean hate. It's like me saying I dislike your comment (accusations??), but I don't hate it. Thank you for your time. My apologies if I've offended you in any way.

很多人說星加坡人中文說不好，英文也說不好，那到底他們是什麼人？我會說：他們就是星加坡人。語言本來就是環境下的產物，如果沒有語言環境的話，你沒法讓國民都說好一種外語；同樣，沒有語言環境的話， 你也沒法讓人們保留自己本身的語言。星加坡並不是一個華人國家，而是一華人人口佔多數的國家。初代華人希望下一代受華文教育，但他們必須面對自己已經離開了中國的現實，他們需要在新的國家裡跟其他種族公平的生活在一起，他們需要改變和適應。星加坡政府當初希望國民可以以自己的語言作為母語，同時可以流利使用英文作為共同語言，而且希望不同種族一起生活在同一社區，讀一樣的學校，在同一部隊中服役，在同一的工作單位工作。但這是不可能的，要保留文化和語言，就必須分開教育，那就必然的形成種族分隔，少數種族不會有公平的機會，造成社會不安的元素。新一代的星加坡人是跟不同種族的人一起長大，共同語言（這裡是英文）遲早會變成他們的第一語言，而星加坡現在是過渡時期，所以母語跟共同語都說不好，但再過一到兩代，星加坡就會是另一個普通的英語國家了。

Kevin Yeung I believe one of the reasons why these people are not able to answer that many questions correctly is because they have already left school. Of course that is no excuse for our terrible Chinese (although i must say that i expected more from our Chinese). As an adult, not many people speak or write in Chinese. In fact, even the better professions such as doctors do not use Chinese frequently enough to vividly remember every word that they have learnt. Although people in Hong Kong mainly communicate using the Chinese dialect (i forgot which please enlighten me), i believe that the main language there is Chinese, which would explain why they would get most of the questions right.

I wonder if you do an English test, meaning to write some English words, of course not elementary level, I’m pretty sure most Singaporeans don’t know some high level vocabularies

請問殘體字有何資格成為漢字的準則？ 雖然理解新加坡的華文以中華人民共和國制定的簡化字形為通用文字，但中文的教育豈能以不完整的字體作為基準？

[@TheValdy12]

文字这东西，不用一直分优劣。。。 就如Old English, Middle English, 和现在的Modern English一样，中华文字语言也有改变。。。 就如我根本听与读不懂 Old English 一样。 与其分优劣，不如分新旧就好。 I am a Singaporean. Mandarin or whatever Mother Tongue lessons for us took up just like 2 periods of classes per day, sometimes 1 period, while I was in primary and secondary. I stopped taking it in poly and university, though I still speaks and sometimes write it. 而且，你觉得学校换去繁体的话，会使情况更好还是更糟? 繁简之争，无需介怀。。。

6:17 isn't it correct?

that dude with the sister and mom (I'm assuming?) is a whole mood

[@panxuanjun]

哪怕是中国现在很少有人日常生活需要用到笔去写字了，聊天也好工作也好，都是在打字..大部分人其实不是不识字，只不过是写不出来罢了，所以我觉得大家需要另外看待提笔忘字这个问题，语言的主要意义是沟通，只要不影响沟通，写不写得出字其实不是那么重要

[@ryansann8]

进步 6:17 correct what

[@davidchannn]

3:10 翅膀，the correct pronunciation is chìbǎng,not chìpáng.6:20 嘴巴 is zǔibā not zuǐbā.
