Singapore government aims to lift ‘the curse of bad English’ with ‘Queen of grammar’ videos

Speak Good English Movement videoA campaign has been launched by the Singapore government to improve the way people speak English, the official language of business in the multicultural citystate.

The campaign from the Speak Good English Movement takes the form of a series of four videos fronted by local comedian Kumar.

In the first in the series, a narrator says that a curse of bad English has been cast on Singapore, which can be lifted by the Queen of Grammar at her “Meet the people” sessions.

Subsequent episodes will be released in the coming weeks.

The video series will be used to support the movement for this year and the next.
