The Speak Good English Movement is a program launched by the government of Singapore. Singaporeans usually speak a dialect of English known as Singlish, which has heavy influences from Chinese and Malay, and can be downright incomprehensible to non-Singaporeans. According to the government, this causes problems when Singaporeans need to deal with foreigners in business, so the campaign aims to discourage the use of Singlish and encourage the increased use of "good" (i.e. British) English.
