Hi PatheinRaindropMoe,

I do not really understand wat you are saying. But i think its just because ppl dun use hokkien for other concept thats all. I think even hokkien can be used to write other types of song too... Yah maybe currently hokkien is abou pai gia, pai mia those theme... just to ask what theme do u think is better and more attractive?

Hokkien songs do have a place in Singapore...it's all at the Getai.

for a start, wu bai has got quite a number of min na yu songs, The worlds can be beautiful, cheeky arrangement of songs and its not about the typical beng ah seng ah zhar bor teh lang zhao i want to die those type
