'Should Singlish be the official language in Singapore?'

In Singapore almost everyone can speak english.Yet most of them do not talk proper english but rather singlish.Singlish is defined as the english spoken with the Singaporean modifications.It is not the official language and should not be the official language of Singapore.There are multiple reasons for this.

The first reason is because english is the main language across the world. The fact cannot be changed.If Singapore were to use Singlish for the main language , we would not be able to communicate as efficiently as before.If we can not communicate with the world, then complications are possible and we will lead ourself to our downfall.The fact that english is the main language worldwide can not be changed as it is one language almost everyone on the planet understands.

The second reason is that Singlish is a language that only Singaporeans understand.This language is limited to a little nuber of countries which understand it.Another such country is our neighbour Malaysia.Apart from us they too understand SInglish.Other continents such as the United States are clueless when we speak in Singlish

Therefore i conclude that Singlish should not be the official language of Singapore
