because we are a multi racial society, the english language has been "modified" to integrate the different languages of the different cultures present in our society. in my opinion, singlish doesnt just cover the usual 'la, lor' but it has evolved into such a way that singlish is broken english.
i feel that singlish should not be excluded is an important part of our society. singlish is the "language" that makes us uniquely singaporean. however, we must not get too carried away with singlish and not use it too losely. yes, we may integrate it into our day to day spoken language, but when we should have the responsibility to use it "wisely", that is to know when it is right and when it is wrong to use it.
