It is unfortunate that Wee's commendable effort (2005) to explore the theoretical underpinning of Linguistic Human Rights (LHRs) so as to explore different variants of English in Singapore empirically is marred by a substantial number of misrepresentations of what is stated in our work. We will exemplify this briefly, and otherwise refer the reader to a book that two of us are currently preparing and to Skutnabb-Kangas et al. (2001), in which much of this ground is covered, including comments on intra-linguistic variation and how this relates to the primary concern of LHRs with inter-linguistic discrimination.
