Hey guys,
I read all the above posts and waited till now to give my view. I don’t think Mr. Leong mean to complain. What he is pointing out is that tv host should have speaken proper English on national tv, this is so as they are calling on Non Chinese speaking home viewers right? You guys are just jumping the gun and barking up the wrong tree. Let’s be honest with yourself, with poor English you think tourist can really understand you? If mediacorp does not that Mr. Leongs feedback seriously then there’s no point in having and feedback forum as it will just attract bias and irrelevant comments from some .

Hi Desmond,

I need your advise. Do you remember the show you host with Kym Ng recommending one spectable shop where you can add on your own designs. Trying to locate the shop but could not remember. Much appreciated if you could give me a tinkle.

I really cant believe that mr leong actually complained that.
we are in singapore, singlish is common everywhere
i dont think its fair to kym
she might be saying it with humour
kym seriously doesnt deserve this kind of feedback
she is a great host

KYM, you have my support (:

what i feel is that some singaporeans like to complain over a small thing. i have no problem understanding 1 2 3 4 what you want. i also realise that the host will repeat ’1 2 3 4 what you want’ to the home contestant. so i feel that they can know what the host are talking about. afterall, most singaporeans(including malays and indians) can understand ‘singlish’ so what kym ng say is definitely alright. (it is quite funny too). I would like to ask the Mr Leong – what you will say to the contestant then? – when the show is in a rush.
what i feel is that the host can still make an effort to talk to the non chinese contestant in english despite it is a chinese show. also, i felt it is funny for the host to use singlish – this can show that they have merge into singapore since they talk singlish. Kym Ng – I WILL SUPPORT YOU. — singaporeans pls dont complain too much! Thanks

too add on: my english is not so good too

i feel tt kym should not be blamed for speaking bad english. this is a chinese program, not an english program. as it is a live show, u can’t be expected to explain in a very short time. i think tt to avoid further embarrassment, the organiser should vet the entries to avoid picking one viewer who do not speak mandarin.

This is a Mandarin show. Why did Mr Leong watch it when he should be watching Deal Or No Deal. Try catching Adrian Pang instead!

There is no fuss in making a complain actually.This help to keep the co-host from improving their english and hopefully can gain more confident hosting future english programe.Maybe sometime people complain there is reason behind it!! But no matter what,host still need put the 100% effort in making the show a success. Jia you to kym n dasmond!!

it’s not ‘my english is much worst’… it’s ‘much worse’ or ‘worser’.

I don think you all are making it difficult for the viewers to play in the game. In fact, you all used 1,2,3 and 4 which actually simplify the game for non-chinese viwers who got selected.

I think what makes the selected viewers difficult to play the game is those viewers don even know what’s going on.

Jiayou!

Well, well, well … We are not having English lesson today so it is okay to speak as we like. I think it is not a matter of speaking proper English but communication is about letting the other party knowing what you are trying to say. Nevertheless, it will be good if we can speak proper English every time so as not to influence our younger generation to speak ‘broken’ English.

For shows like Sheng Siong, I feel that it is okay for Kym to speak as she likes when we all understand her message. We should not be over-reacting for this matter. I do believe I am also not speaking good English since I only just passed for O level.
