However, studies from NUS show that it is possible for one to speak both standard English and Singlish. Dr Siew found that when Singaporeans communicate with each other, many concepts that immediately jump to their minds are expressed in Singlish, thus making it extremely hard to stop people from speaking the language.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of preventing Singaporeans from speaking Singlish, Dr Siew posits that there should be an appreciation for how Singlish has shaped one\u2019s way of interpreting and understanding the world. It is also interesting to see how the Singlish vocabulary evolved over each generation.<\/p>\n<p>Read the article in <em>Channel News Asia<\/em> here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/singapore\/singlish-threat-society-research-singapore-identity-code-switch-2866596\">https:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/singapore\/singlish-threat-society-research-singapore-identity-code-switch-2866596<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In \u2018\u201cYou can\u2019t tell people to not speak it,\u201d says NUS don.
