'Engrish' on the rise in S'pore? Look at this supermarket sign

STOMPer Irene spotted this poorly written sign in a Shop 'n' Save outlet at the Tampines MRT station.

The STOMPer said:

"I was in Shop 'n' Save in Tampines MRT and saw this.

"I was shocked as it was in broken English and the grammar was all wrong.

"This sign is read by the public, so it could teach them broken English as well."

Engrish refers to unusual forms of English language usage by some Asians.

Years later, you may hear this:-
'YOU NO COME, I NO GO', then you need to guess what it means then and which XXXglish it comes from. Ha ha.

Don't be SHOCKED. Its could be now seems to be Singlish, maybe future will be Chinglish, Indglish, Pinglish, etc.
