Your question is strange. How do you think other races will be encourage to make videos in malay and tamil, if my video is in English? My Chinese-lang video is by itself an encouragement to others to make videos in Malay and Tamil!
Your idea of ignoring the majority of Chinese Singaporeans who are more conversant in Chinese, in order to cater to a minority of Chinese Singaporean who prefer English is politically unworkable. PAP knows it. That's why its rallies are in Chinese and Malay and Tamil

a great job indeed!
-
how are u going to invite other races to make videos in their language when your video is chinese themed....
how many non chinese actually see your video and hence see the comments you make?
-
anyway, this video is made specifically targeting the Chinese-speaking. Read the very first comment of this video: we should all try to make more videos in Chinese and Malay and Tamil. They are the (silent) majority who need to be reached out.

The first part of the video is a Chinese translation of the English song in the 2nd part. This song has been sung in 17 (yes, SEVENTEEN) languages to wide acclaim:

I don't see the Americans/British telling everybody to sing only in English "so that all races can relate"? If they don't do that, I dont see why you should be using a highly derogatory word on my race. Nobody teach you what "cheena 支那" means? Sigh! Sg edu! Learn from me and go google abt it :)

Bottomline: don't try to pretend to be a Chinese standing up for the Malays/Indians. That's hypocritical. True Malay/Indians who love their own culture respect other's language. Only bananas will use the derogatory "cheena" word on the Chinese!
ALL RACES CAN RELATE TO VIDEOS MADE IN ALL LANGUAGES - by music or by video content. Only FAKE ANG MOH BANANA cannot.
And dont say I scold you - "cheena" is a derogatory insulting word, in case you don't know.

LKY did what the british did not do - exterminate local languages/cultures and replace everything with English.only. He groomed an "elite" bunch of bananas - yellow on the outside, white on the inside. These people, with no respect for their own cultural heritage, also show no respect for other people's lang and they want others to speak only in their language - english.
when u use chinese, some people may not understand...
if the topic of your discussion concerns everyone, then use a language everyone can understand....thats my point....

cplcwgoh,
when I do not use Chinese, many many people will not understand. Fyi, goh chok tong cancelled Chinese rallies when he help his first election, and had only English info sessions. He did very badly and thereafter he held rallies in hokkien. This is the reality in Singapore, in case you do not know.
Since the topic concerns everyone, then we should make videos in many different languages. I have done my part to reach out to the Chinese-speaking.
