Since LKY came into power, he had wanted all Chinese, irrespective of dialect to read, write and speak Mandarin, thus all Chinese programmes are dubbed in Mandarin....LKY is successful in a way.  All Chinese students are to be educated in Chinese/Mandarin........

 It started in 1982….
Now my kids cannot speak dialect.
Luckily, my mandarin is good.
Able to influence my children it is important to speak fluently and write well in mandarin.
Next few hundred years of prosperity will belong to Asia.

Sometimes, I heard Ah Wong speak mandarin, really shake my head.

overall, it is a failed policy as the number of mandarin-speaking families have been declining

this language has been downgraded to just a mere school subject for many people, and a subject which i bet over 90% of the students will want to drop if they are allowed to do so.
