hard to change ... yes ... time to change ... e.g. plastic bag 袋子 / paper bag 纸袋 ... bcoz in the past we had only paper bag ... it's common to hear it even today ...

yes ... singapore slang is acceptable in singapore ... our next generations must know the proper universal language (mandarin) ... especially when traveling or working overseas ...
