From China to Singapore | Here To Stay

"The only thing I know was 'ABCD', 'what's your name', 'how do you do'?"
Bao Sheng Ze, better known as Bunz, reminisces on his unexpected move to Singapore as a kid from Shao Xin, China, his active process of assimilation, and the love he holds for Singapore.

    Actually I think linguistically speaking, I would consider his language skills, esp his Chinese, and even his English far above most of his Singapore peers. The thing about mainland Chinese is their Chinese already has a good foundation, once they are able to brush up their English and put more time into it, they will be truly and effectively bilingual.

    I think his English is on par with many fellow Singaporeans his age. The older generation like myself may have lower english standards due to lesser exposure to good English during our childhood, however, this boy’s generation should already have a lot of exposure and opportunity to learn good English from his surrounding as by the 90s and 2000s, Singapore already have a sizeable population with a good command of English. 我们新加坡人的华语也没有大家想象的那么差,只是没有太多可以运用的地方,所以华语会退步,但是基础还在。我的老公和哥哥的英语和华语都比我强,只是很少有机会在人们面前展现出来罢了,不代表新加坡人的双语水平差。

    Goodness me, if he don't tell people that he was from China, no one would have thought it. He's English has literally zero China accent. Completely Singaporean-sounding. I think career-wise, being so proficient bilingually, he's gonna be very sought after internationally. Diplomatic or corporate translator come to my mind. Especially diplomatic, I feel. That'll be a huge benefit to the world.
