      I agree with Tan Choon Hoe to a degree. I think it is still used, but not appreciated. It’s a daily, mundane dialect. No class. But I completely feel the opposite. Hence my project here. 🙂 You all know that already.

      Well, I can see the concern of the author as more and more younger generation especially those from Chinese education background seldom use Hokkien or other dialects nowadays.

      I still remember when we were students in school, we spoke so much Hokkien or other dialects that teachers had to come out with the policy of punishing students to pay 5cents every time we used dialects. There was also slogan that encouraged the students to speak more mandarin like 多讲华语 少讲方言

      Back then, Mandarin, bahasa, and English were only used during the formal conversation such as talking to teacher and so on….Using dialects were the normal way of communicating among friends and buddies.

      I completely support John’s effort in promoting Hokkien.

      Thanks Taugeh for sharing.
      Well, be it a hidden marketing startegy or not, i THINK it is still a good way to promote Pg Hokkien Dialect(PHD) thru books,.PHD book is really rare and i was actually excited when i first heard of Tan’s book which i think is a good start for beginner learner who wish to pick up some PHD, so i introduced the book to my foreign friends who reside in Penang.

      Many penangites still speak the dialect and PHD still can be heard everywhere in Penang, BUT i notice many young chinese parents nowadays do speak more english/manglish or mandarin to their children at home. At least my old classmates, ex-colleagues, cousins and our neighbors too,even they speak hokkien themselves,with their children i often heard them speaking in english, sometimes mix with mandarin. Many of them even told me their children aren’t good in speaking hokkien but can understand a little.

      In school,only mandarin is allowed in chinese school, whereas english/malay are commonly used in sekolah kebangsaan, right?! So, how about hokkien? i guess children just pick up randomly from whoever speak the dialect probably from their grandparents or aunties uncles. As such, i can’t help but think that PHD is actually less spoken as the new generation progressed, no?!
      This also remind me of my Iraqi friend who used to work as a specialist in General Hospital Pg was looking for hokkien class(7 years back) but to no avail, and now i do think Tan’s book can be of help in some ways 🙂
      sorry for long-winded,just my two yens 😉

      Bravo, JLE, LS & XK, your secrets are supposed to be “bo lang cai”, but now “ka liau lang pun cai”, not a secret any more, LOL. 😀
