Singlish should not be an official language in Singapore. However, lots of people in Singapore, especially teenagers, are used to speaking Singlish.
The reason is firstly, Singlish is not understandable by people from other countries. Since English is encouraged to be spoken throughout the whole world, People from other countries might have problems communicating with the people in Singapore if Singlish were to become an official language in Singapore.
Secondly, Singlish is an impression of a bad English or also broken English. If we were to speak Singlish in public, People will think that we have not been studying our English properly and that will drop our image.
Thirdly, Singlish is not a good way to communicate among our friends because if we were to keep speaking Singlish, our English will become worse and that would be the reason why some students find it hard to pass their English.
If Singlish were to become an official language in Singapore, All Singaporeans would have a hard time communicating to each other. And people from other countries will look down on Singaporeans.
