Which is currently impossible for all non-Singaporeans/Malaysians to understand
Singlish is what defines Singaporeans. It's a blend of every single language that is made up in Singapore (maybe not all, but w/e).
Anyway, the thing is that SINGLISH is NOT a LANGUAGE, more like a culture/slang. Singlish mainly emphasizes the need to get the message through quickly, rather than blurting out longlonglonglonglonglong sentences, that give the same meaning. Singlish also gives a way for people who are not that fluent in english to get the message across, thus blending with their own language.
OKAY ON TOPIC
I want to play KOC `-` just that MS is repetitive and boring ;-;
