(X - M) = Even less gals in Shanghai / China

HUH??? Scally the children only speak the ang moh language, then laggy backfire.

Export Shanghai brides, says Jackie
June 15, 2005 The Straits Times

GONGFU mega star Jackie Chan says a good way to promote Chinese culture worldwide would be to have more Shanghai women marry foreigners.

'We can encourage more foreigners to marry Shanghai ladies so their children will be able to speak Chinese,' he said at the Shanghai International Film Festival.

'It will help spread Chinese culture far and wide,' he said.

But he did not say why his proposal singled out Shanghai women, and he offered no suggestions about how to implement his plan.

Chan also said he wanted to see more teahouses next to Starbucks coffee shops and more Chinese-style sesame seed cake shops next to McDonald's restaurants.

so, in order to achieve critical mass as Leon argues, are we suppose to be exporting Singapore brides too?

exporting shanghaiese and/or singaporean brides is hardly going to be popular with the male locals, is laughable as a policy because it is not likely to be workable.

ang mohs might be more understanding of singlish if their wife / husband / civil partner / galfriend / boyfriend / neighbour , etc, but they might not as well and impose their accent upon the singaporean. well well.
