When the British first established the trading port in Temasak (Modern-day Singapore), it is literally a melting pot of people, from the Bugis, Indians, Malays to the Chinese. it is no surprise that a form of pidgrin English 'popped' up. This came to be known as a form of proto-Singlish. Eventually, Singlish developed into the local Lingua Franca. You can say it is the addition of local tastes to the 'Queen's English'. As a result, most locals are more comfortable using Singlish than standard English (It is faster, funnier and considerably more relatable to the average Heartlander) As a Singaporean writer once put it, Singlish is the language of our souls. It became what distinguishes someone who is local-born and foreigners. Singlish bonds people, arguably more than British English. Using British or American English will cause Singaporeans to lose their common identity, making them in essentials British or American-born, instead of what they are, Singaporeans.
