  Hi all,

  I'm a language activist trying to revive Hokkien in Singapore, after witnessing a sharp decline in the dialects over the past 30 years.

  Action is more important than words. 

  I've launched an online petition campaign directed to Prime Minister Lee Hsien loong (Singapore government) to ask him to remove all ban on dialects media in Singapore's TV and radio.

  This is the first step towards reviving these local dialects.

  Please support us by signing our petition.

  After Harry Lee is dead, this issue must be put on the agenda by opposition party.
