SINGAPORE 6 JUNE; You would not think that a dictionary update would capture the attention of the masses, but, alas, yes, that's just what has happened.
This month a Netizen started a petition to have the Singlish phrase 'Chinese helicopter' removed from the Oxford English Dictionary.
Sadly the petition only calls for the removal of one offensive word, whilst hundreds of other inflammatory words populate the very same dictionary!
To rectify this a second petition has been initiated aimed at the further purification of the Oxford English Dictionary.
Once this has been achieved, there may be additional efforts made to establish and enforce blasphemy laws and similar atrocities.
We can only hope so lah.
