Oh please. I'm Singaporean and I found it hilarious. Maybe that's just me, but it is true that our accent is really nothing to be proud of. It is a shame to hear proper words distorted by our accent. Nowadays, Chinese seems to become more and more prevalent and it is frustrating.

it is insulting.its just a acent.we can laugh at ur acent too.bitches

Anyway, Tyler merely imitated how majority of the uncles and aunties in Singapore speak. We have to agree that they do speak that way, don't we? It's not like they are saying all Singaporeans speak that way. Chinese hasn't become more prevalent. See how hard it is for the Ministry of Education to encourage our younger generation Chinese to speak Mandarin? It is just that we have more Chinese in the older generation, that's why it seems like the way we speak is greatly influenced by Chinese.

I'm also a Singaporean and I think Tyler has done a good job imitating us. It's really funny, you peeps shouldn't take it as being offensive. It's a COMEDY. Why isn't there as much noise when Mr Brown imitate our accent and poke fun on the way we speak, but why are there so many people using obscene words to insult this video when it is an "ang moh" who did it? If you want to prove that Singaporeans are so uncultured, go ahead with your vulgarities.

• Singaporeans pronounce flour as /flɑ:/ instead of /flaʊ-ə/. The dictionary says that both American and British pronunciation is /flaʊ-ə/.

Singaporean teachers pronounce and teach their pupils to pronounce flour as / flɑ:/. And in an oral examination, if this word appears in the reading passage, the pupils who pronounce it correctly are penalised.

I'd like native speakers from England, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to reply to prove me right.

When Multinational CEOs were asked which country should be the model of economic development and planning, most put Singapore on the top of the list. Tyler Creasman and David Rapa are in the right place. Wish them both a great future.
