of Ah Bengs and Ah Lians



Minghui
wanted to know how one is considered as Ah Lian.

Went and checked it out on Wikipedia and I was rather dumbfounded by the description they came up with for Ah Bengs and Ah Lians.

Quite accurate though.

Because they're bimbos?

But then "Ah Lians commonly speak in a kind of hybrid mix of Singlish or Manglish and Chinese, or Chinese-related dialects. It is also common for the grammar from these dialects to cross over English usage, creating English phrases with Chinese grammar."

They don't. So, they're not?
