Default How effective Hokkien is!!!
Singlish some time back was classified as a bad language in Singapore. Come and think abt it, its such a effective language.

English : Hello, this is Mr. Smith Did anyone page me a few moments ago?
Singlish : Hello, who page?

English : Excuse me, I’d like to get by. Would you please make way?
Singlish : Lai, siam! Or Siam, hor! Or Skius!

English : Sorry i really don't recall what you had just mentioned.
Singlish : Got meh?

English : Excuse me, but could you please lower your volume
Singlish : Ooi! Tiam le!!!

English : Oh my god, thats terrible
Singlish : WOWLAO ei!

English : Hey man, you are not doing it right.
Singlish : You hor!

English : Quick, let make a move now
Singlish : Gein, geia.

And of course the most universial
English : Sorry, you were saying?
English : Sorry i dun understand you
English : Mind repeating?

Singlish : Huh?!?!
