So you consider Mao Tse Tung also a disgrace lah? Through out his life, Mao was never able to master standard Mandarin but instead spoke his hunan dialect.

Is Mao Zedong capable of speaking decent Mandarin? No, and he had never learned how to speak Mandarin.
    He was born in South China , and Mandarin was created based on dialects of North China ,
    In his education time, Mandarin hadn’t been created and widespread, so nobody could teach him and shift his Hunan accent to standard Mandarin.
    Nobody know his personal opinion towards Mandarin and simplified Chinese, which deeply changed later Chinese language .In his daily life, he had got used to writing the traditional Chinese , speaking dialects of his hometown, even in the Founding Ceremony( you can search the video online)

He's a sinkie leh why should he be a disgrace to China?
