Limerick: Action and communication, nothing is impossible

====
Information source: Straits Times 2026-05-31

Asked by Nikkei commentator Hiroyuki Akita during the concluding plenary session the familiar question of whether ASEAN is pro-US or pro-China, Singapore's Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing said unequivocally, to applause: "We are not pro-US or anti-US. We are not pro-China or anti-China. We are pro-ASEAN.”

He added: "So sitting here, I thought of a limerick:

"Words without action, nothing is achieved.

"Action without communication, trust is destroyed.

“No action, no communication, everything is impossible.

"Action and communication , nothing is impossible."

新加坡政策研究所星期一(5月25日)发表的工作论文《新加坡的语言认同与管理:政策研究所种族、宗教与语言调查》发现,新加坡式英语无论作为国民身份认同标志的地位,还是在日常生活中的使用频率,都在不断攀升。与此同时,华族对母语水平过去10年的变化,评价明显更为悲观。

跟宗教信仰一样,语言在多元种族且建国历史不长的新加坡,一直是无法摆脱政治敏感性的公共课题。可喜的是,随着国民教育程度提高,国家身份认同雏形慢慢浮现,国人开始能够以更理性平和的态度积极探讨。

语言是身份认同的重要表达形式,在多元种族、宗教和语言的新加坡尤其显著。如何在多语环境凝聚国民身份认同,是建国以来持续讨论的课题。在社会舆论中,有一种观点认为,应当通过统一语言来建立集体身份认同;而新加坡社会的主流观念,同时也是政府的长期态度,则主张多元下的团结,强调多元性才是新加坡特殊身份认同形成的基石。任何观点都必须经得住具体情景的检验,才能成为有利于国家发展和社会团结的全民共识。多元是新加坡建国的既定事实,也被视为国家和社会韧性的来源。经过几代人的细心经营,在谨慎的实践中逐渐被证明有效。

在语言和教育上,这表现为双语政策,各族保留母语作为文化价值和社会规范的根基,同时使用英语彼此和对外沟通。经历数十年的发展,表现在日常的语言使用上,新加坡式英语的普及,或许反映我们对语言的生命力应当有更多的尊重,不必过多干预。这一在英语中掺杂本地不同母语,在语法、用词、语调上都更灵活,能随时切换语码的表达方式,极具独特的本地特色,容易拉近使用者的情感共鸣,产生身份认同共振。不过,尽管学界已开始零星地从语言学、社会学等角度研究新加坡式英语,但新加坡人大多明白,它目前仍然只适合平时的社交,还缺乏足够的厚度来作为高深思辨的工具,所以不宜在须要得体表达的正式工作场合使用。

新加坡式英语的例子似乎更贴近多元合一的观点,新加坡多元的母语,是滋养国民集体身份认同的关键养分。语言表达感受,感受来自生活,南洋特殊的地理环境,必然让各种母语发展出南洋特色,建国前的南洋画风,建国后的新华文学等,都是这类特色的表现,如今母语更滋养出能拉近国民情感的新加坡式英语,证明强化母语教育,有助于增强集体身份认同。在地缘政治意义上,身为东南亚的一员,各族母语的存在体现对移民历史的尊重和传承,以及对所在地理现实的认同。因此对比单语化,多元合一更加贴近有利新加坡生存发展的条件。美国开国先驱远渡重洋从英国带来的母语,在新的土地上开枝散叶,形成具有北美特色的新国家文化。新加坡人在看待自身的母语时,也应当有足够的文化意识和自信。

新加坡多元的语言环境反衬和谐沟通的重要性,而包容性又是多元和谐的基本前提。包容的意义是双向的,一方面,在新加坡式英语能登堂入室前,在公共场合以正规英语作为主要共同语言,让各族国人都不会感觉遭歧视。自主选择加入新加坡社会的新移民群体,须要适应并尽快养成自觉尊重多元的国民意识。同理,这种包容性同样也应展现在公共场合,能更多地出现各种母语的标志如指示牌和信息广播,让母语充分舒展生命力,有机会发展出有别于文化来源地的南洋特色,并让英语能力缺乏或不强的老一辈国人,不会感到自外于社会主流。

在拥抱多元化、在多元的基础上建立独特新加坡认同的问题上,我国也面对另一重隐忧,就是社会渐趋单语化。不少商号只用英文,一些新组屋小区的命名也罕见母语,母语在家庭中的使用减少而更多家庭把英语作为主要语言,都反映这个趋势。这或许是能提高生活效率的便宜之举,但始终有违当前多元化的方向。这或许也是为何在政策研究所的调研中,华族对母语水平过去10年的变化感到悲观。多元母语滋养出的新加坡式英语,带给我们身份自信,但也有很多人希望政府在推广四种官方语言能力上,发挥更积极的作用,说明社会依然珍视母语的价值。接下来,举国上下须要把信念化成更具体的行动,让多元语言构成新加坡身份认同的底色。

OPPO: I have a phone model "OPPO A9 2020" . How can I copy photos and videos from the OPPO built-in photo app to a type-C-cum-USB thumb drive?


To copy photos and videos from your OPPO A9 2020 to a dual Type-C/USB thumb drive, you need to enable a setting called OTG (On-The-Go) connection first. OPPO phones turn this setting off automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity to save power.
## Step 1: Enable OTG Connection

   1. Open Settings on your OPPO phone.
   2. Scroll down and tap Additional Settings.
   3. Toggle on OTG Connection.

## Step 2: Plug in the Drive

   1. Insert the Type-C end of the flash drive into the bottom of your phone.
   2. Wait for a notification that says "USB drive connected" or opens the File Manager.

## Step 3: Copy Your Media

   1. Open the built-in File Manager app (not the Photos app, as File Manager handles moving files easier).
   2. Tap Photos or Videos under the Categories section.
   3. Press and hold on a photo/video to select it, then tick all the files you want.
   4. Tap Copy (or Move if you want to delete them from the phone) at the bottom of the screen.
   5. Tap the back arrow to return to the main File Manager screen.
   6. Select OTG or USB Drive from the storage list.
   7. Choose a folder inside your flash drive and tap Paste (or To Here).

## Step 4: Safely Disconnect

   1. Swipe down from the top of your screen to open the notification panel.
   2. Tap Tap to safely remove USB device (or turn off OTG in Settings) before unplugging the drive.

To help you manage your storage better, let me know:

* Are you trying to free up space on your phone completely?
* Do you have large 4K videos that might take a long time to transfer?
* Would you like instructions on how to back up to a cloud service instead?
