Too much PRC liao lah... No control one meh... Singaporean here alot ppl jobless here wor... I dun look down on them I dun mind PRC working here but the jobs are filled by PRC... Our rice bowl... Humm... We speak English even some of Singaporean will speak basic english too therefore we can communicate with clients / Custormers but... PRC their english are poor / dun speak english at all...

There was once I came across a PRC in the Airplane he knew i am from Singapore and he told me they PRC speak very good english only they want or don't want...

Therefore I spoke english with the air steward and the PRC heard and he too spoke to the air steward in "English" and the air steward ask him "Excuse me Sir what are you talking about?"

I think they should brush up their English bah...

I agree tat most PRCs do not speak gd eng even after spending years in sg, but tats a matter of whether they want to. When i was studying in NIE, many future chinese teachers who were frm PRC had to take an eng communications course (in fact we all did lol). Although they are weak in certain aspects of e language, PRCs are actually veri gd in phonetics i.e. they can read phonetics and enunciate veri well (often better than us sg ppl). Of course, this is only possible if they WANTED to learn e eng language, so its more a problem of whether they want it enuff to put effort into learning it

Don't fix it if it ain't broke

i agree with absence, its more like the lack of training that screw things up... whatever the case, the fact is there will be more PRCs working here... perhaps we should, as a whole, brush up on our language... Not forgetting, there ARE PRCs that are really good in what they are doing and others with real good attitides... Look at the Cons Too...
