'Should Singlish be the official language in Singapore?'

Singlish should not be the official language in Singapore. Singapore is known because of its 'Singlish' and because of this other country had other opinion on Singapore and thinks that the country could not speak perfect or much English. Singlish is usually spoken by the older generation or the younger generation which usually use Chinese or Malay often. These generations usually add some of their languages like Malay or Chinese because they seldom use English when talking to their family members or their friends. Singlish should not be the official language in Singapore because the younger generation will be affected if someone try to talk to them in Singlish. The younger generation will follow as they will think that is cool or much easier to use Singlish than English. When the younger generation starts using Singlish they will have problem with their English and will either fail or get low marks for the subject. The future will also be affect as foreigners will not understand what they trying to say and affect the economy in Singapore. Therefore, Singlish should not be the official language in Singapore.
