One thing has annoyed me quite enormously lately is some ads playing on the radio.
I really can't quite figure out why some of the ads just like to use broken & Singaporean-slang-like English. I don't know whether that was the idea from the advertising companies or the products' owners.
Seriously, we Malaysians speak much better English overall apart from all the 'La' & 'Ma' we like to use at the end of our sentences most of the time, but really.....we are capable of speaking proper English to the matter of fact.
So stop using all the Ah-Beng & Ah-Lian slang in the ads. It would not makes your ads stands out or make your sales rise up 10-folds..... it merely makes us sound so shallow and seems like we can't speak proper English at all.
We are way much better when comes to English speaking!
