It's very impressive and humbling to hear LKY addressed himself 小弟 in Hokkien ... Wha Lao He Shibei Sut ... I think that speech would have drawn lots of vote from the ah Beng ah Seng ah Lian ah Hui of the time, his hokkien very the Dok Kong

Powerful, LKY sounded like ancient emperor in China speaking to his subjects using Middle Chinese language, which probably similar to hokkian or teo chew 😁

If Singapore had not adopted English as the official language, where would the nation be today? Every dialect fighting for their space, Malay vs Chinese vs indians. Business links with the world will be weaker Sri Lanka was a crown colony, equally if not more promising back then. But a series of policy errors, corruption and internal strife did them in.

當年李光耀先生訪台他能以流利閩南話和台灣民眾溝通這使得時任總統蔣經國先生汗顏漸漸地，經國先生決定開始學閩南話嘗試去傾聽基層百姓的聲音

Was he doing this to show Lim Chin Siong — the Ong Teng Cheong of the day who was very popular with the Hokkien langs — he too could speak Hokkien? Just curious.
