This article explores the rhetoric of the four official languages (English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil) in Singapore and the domestic aversion towards Chinese "dialects" and colloquial "Singlish". The "Speak Mandarin Campaign" alongside the "Speak Good English Movement" represent a display of intercultural and transcultural ideologies which reinforce and negate cultural boundaries through seemingly contradictory discourses.

The paper will use historical and textual analysis to tackle the representation of constructed identity. (Contains 1 table.)
