No, I disagree with it. As if the usage of Singlish is allowed, it will 'destroy' the proper english of what the students have been trying to learn since they started studying. But I don't really tend to disagree with it, as although I am suppose to talk about its bad point, I now also tend to use. Singlish can be quite unique as you cant possibly find this language in other foreign countries. Thus Singlish can be counted as a tradition which is 'created' by Singaporean as it can be counted as part of our Singaporeans' cultural. But after all this discussions, I still think that Singlish should not be the official language in Singaporeans as it will affect our communications with the outside world or other countries.

In my opinion, i have to agree and at the same time disagree with it. I agreed as, take an example like the outbreak of the H1N1 case which happened quite recently. One of the is Singapore Health Promotion Board kept reminding us not to go to crowded place when we are sick, or even if we are sick and we need to go out. We have to wear a mask before going out. Despite all this reminders, quite a number of people still spit on the floor, especially the older generations. Thus this is where I disagree with.
While for the opinion on are Singaporeans gracious, i have some agreements and disagreements in it. One example is during bus rides, there were posters that keep asking others to give their seats to those who need the seat more than them. Some people are gracious enough, and they really gave their seats to those people. While some are just ridiculous, they just pretend to be reading something or sleeping to avoid giving up their seats to this people.
Eventually, I agree and disagree with the fact that Singaporeans are gracious and responsible. I just think that some Singaporeans should learn on their conducts in public.
