Seen in Singapore

Whenever sensitive issues are broached, those whose sensitivities have ratcheted up, will invariably remind us that Singapore is not the USA or UK, that we are unique and must find our own way. Taking this to heart, and armed with the artistic licence granted by Goddess Athena, I have gone on a little Singaporeanisation of the august English language. From now on, I shall refrain from using the very Englishman’s expression “every Tom, Dick and Harry” and substitute it with my very own native phrase “every Tan, Jit and Ali”. I think it has local flavour and it kinda has a nice ring to it.
