Wormrot explains what Singlish is

. . .

David Brodsky I’m not! This is my first attempt at working with video. I conducted this mini-interview with Wormrot in their hotel room, just before they flattened the crowd at Scion Rock Fest this year.

In the interview, the band explains what Singlish is. Singlish is amazing to hear, and it has a rich history. The Singaporean government’s desire to stamp it out reminds me of the Kuomintang government’s ban on the Taiwanese language in public in Taiwan (in favor of Mandarin). The powers that be know that language is powerful; that’s why they try to take it away. It’s something we should never take for granted.
