Pengawal,
Hokkien is a language. In this respect I gotta disagree with you and to agree with Mr Dalforce.
Hokkien is downgraded to the status of a "dialect" for the purpose of political control.

OH, thanks for telling me that. When was it a language? Must be the northerners that downgraded it.

Yes, it is the northerners that downgraded it.
Language in an objective sense covers all dialects. That means if possible we do accord tongues that are not mutually-intelligible as languages first rather than classify them hastily as dialects.
Therefore many so-called "dialects" in the world are in-fact "languages" in its rights.

Hokkien is a language with written form as well. Many do not know about because the oppression by the northern to eliminated all the southern languages. It's all about control and sinicised all of China.
I think a dialect is a degratory of any languages.
and I hate they refer Hokkien as Minnan which is degratory.

Lee Kuan Yew is shamelessly peddling the falsehood that mandarin is the mother tongue of chinese Singaporeans.
Such profound contempt for dialects and chinese education, that anglophile bastard.

What is remorseful is he did it with such a success that majority thinks dialects are low graded and led people to believe Mandarin is the one, is the one language.
I was fooled to believe his crap. He makes me thinks my mother tongue is Mandarin, damn LKY! It is bad karma for him to erode the roots of Chinese.

It is funny to watch the fellow croonies coming out to whack their fellow croony after he apologised.
They should be the first to stand forward and not wait for a blog to highlight the issue.
They are acting like "cannon behind horse".
Trying to score points ?
Where were they when the previous incident happened ?

dun let language be the ruin of our future....lingua conflicts as much as racial insensitivities are equally a death note for all nations....
-
saw the news jus now
i tink now they trying to push the blame to a staff in smrt?
and tt wat thong said was taken out of context?
-
its usual someone has to take the blame....thats common...
but is that worthy for a system which subdivides its responsibilities than assuming all responsibilities for their subordinates?
that differentiates a true leader from a cowardice...
-
the greatest principle of leadership is one who assume ALL responsibilities ... it is so rare nowadays....but still exist among some senior leaders...fortunate and blessed for some employees...
-
but he apologised mah
means he admitted?
then now come out and say he din say
so fun rite.......
