The origin of Manglish

The Singaporeans call it Singlish but we do have our very own: Manglish. Now you might think it’s derived from Malaysian English but think again.

My brother knows when I have a bad day at school. He concludes that since my students abuse English whether intentionally or not; it might as well be called Manglish because they ‘mangled’ the language.
