=== Singapore's Speak Good English Movement ===
The wide use of Singlish led the government to launch the [[Speak Good English Movement]] in Singapore in 2000 in an attempt to replace Singlish with Standard English. This movement was made to show the need for Singaporeans to speak Standard English. Nowadays, all children in schools are being taught Standard English with one of the other official languages (Chinese, Malay, Tamil) being taught as a second language. In Singapore, English is a "working language" that serves the economy and development and is associated with the broader global community. Meanwhile, the rest are "mother tongues" that are associated with the country's culture. Speaking Standard English also helps Singaporeans communicate and express themselves in their everyday life.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Creative destruction: Singapore's Speak Good English movement|journal=World Englishes|volume=20|issue=3|pages=341–355|doi=10.1111/1467-971X.00219|year=2001|last1=Rubdy|first1=Rani}}</ref>
In 2014, the Singaporean government made an announcement entitled "Speak Good English Movement brings fun back to Grammar and good English", where the strategies that would be used to promote their program in the following years were explained. Specifically, the government would release a series of videos demystifying the difficulty and dullness of the grammatical rules of the English language. These videos provide a more humorous approach to learning basic grammar rules. Singaporeans will now be able to practise the grammatical rules in both written and spoken English thanks to a more interactive approach.<ref>{{cite web|title=Speak Good English Movement brings fun back to Grammar and good English|url=http://www.news.gov.sg/public/sgpc/en/media_releases/agencies/nhb/press_release/P-20140528-1.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140810193412/http://www.news.gov.sg/public/sgpc/en/media_releases/agencies/nhb/press_release/P-20140528-1.html|archive-date=10 August 2014}}</ref>{{update inline|date=July 2023|reason=Need info on how this initiative has fared after the videos' publication (public opinion/reactions, relevant statistics, other details on progress, etc.)}}
