Hey asshole, it's not like your English is very good neither. I listen to you and my ears bleed. What "Standard English" is that, you government claimed to only accept?
I can't tell you the number of Singaporean Chinese who can't speak English well at all or at all for that matter. Please don't get me started on the People's Republic of China-Chinese you've allowed to roam our streets without much tact or respect for the locals.
Our first language for all of Singapore is English, you're shooting yourself in the foot for saying that Malays and Indians can't speak English well. The only reason for that is that you, the government isn't doing a good enough job in the education sector and since that's not true you're just insulting the rest of your government counter-parts because you don't have a real answer for this.
Even if you just said "Some of the staff (not because of their racial background at all) can't speak English well." YOU ARE THE GOVERNMENT. You only employ fresh graduates from local Universities and other prestigious ones, so why isn't it part of the criteria that all your employees speak fair English? Is it because SMRT is now a profit-driven firm that you have to cut costs and therefore employing foreigners?
Seng Han Thong shouldn't have even bothered with the interview, he just made things worse.
