"Instead of harping on the rise of China and how knowing Mandarin helps Singapore to build business relations, this year's Speak Mandarin Campaign aims to get Singaporeans to appreciate the beauty of the Chinese language and Chinese heritage, through the 3Ms: movies, music and metaphors or 'chengyu'."

Yes, Yes! This should be the spirit! The appreciation of the chinese culture! I always hate it when ppl say we should learn mandrain just for the sake of business deals. If you learn it that way, then it is no difference from what we have always been doing in school.... study because of exam/business, study not because of passion.
This is the most pleasent thing I have heard from the gov.
