just as if we saw/heard a whiteboy speaking arabic, swahilee (sp) or a chinese speaking hebrew, we'd be surprised and curious to comment. it's not being chinese or being ang moh. if the people in taiwan and hong kng don't react to them westerners speaking a chinese language, it's 'coz they don't give a phuck! it has nothing to do with being chinese, american, brit or dutch! these ang moh's need to learn the psyche of us singaporeans. english is our first language. we speak it in school, we use it to converse with one another and we're very comfortable in and around it. we don't look down upon the chinese language (that's just a silly thing to even say!) but a lot of us use it only in chinese classes or with our older relatives. for crying out loud, if we speak to you in english, you complain. if we don't speak english, you complain. what do you want us to do?!?!
