Some tourists have complained that they were conned into paying $239 for 8 tiger prawns in Newton hawker center. Immediately, the news was all over the Internet, newspapers and TV. And almost immediately, NEA and STB worked on it. And almost immediately, the hawker was fined and closed for business. But what if the person who complained was a local?
外国旅客在Newton小贩中心吃海鲜大餐，结账时才知道八只老虎虾要$239，一只老虎虾竟要整三十块！说时迟那时快，这个消息就已经传遍了互联网、各大报纸和电视新闻台。也说时迟那时快，不到一会儿的时间，环境局、旅游局等各大政府机构就来了个大调查，甚至还访问了卖海鲜的批发商和各路专家来讨个水落石出！更说时迟那时快，那个小贩被罚款，被令收摊，连那个端盘子的伙计也不放过！但是... 但是... 这里整天有当地人被无良商家骗得糊里糊涂的，为什么就没人理，没人替他们伸冤咧？

Cloudywind Podcast #01 - Speak Cantonese, Who scared of Who?
Why are we using Ang Mohs in the Speak Chinese campaign advertisements? Why will learning dialects affect us learning English and Chinese?
为什么讲华语运动的广告要找几个老外小孩来宣传？是要让那些不会讲华语的华人难看吗？还是想激发起我们崇洋的精神，老外会什么我们就应该学什么？还是只是纯粹的激将法？“看吧！连老外都会讲华语喔！”
讲方言学方言又为什么会影响我们的英语和华语程度咧？讲方言真的那么逊吗？方言真的那么没用吗？
