SINGAPORE, May 26 -- Singlish is increasingly shaping everyday communication in Singapore, including in workplaces, according to a new study by the Institute of Policy Studies.

The study found that more young Singaporeans say they speak Singlish well and use it frequently, The Straits Times reported today.

According to the news report, about 80 per cent of those aged 18 to 35 said they could speak Singlish at least well, far higher than older age groups.

The proportion of respondents who identified most with English or Singlish rose to 47.6 per cent in 2024, up from about one in three in 2013.

More than half of respondents said Singlish is an important part of culture that should not be lost.
