While I support the learning of Mandarin Chinese, the irony for the policy in SG is for many, Mandarin Chinese was pretty much a northern dialect whereas many Singaporeans trace their ancestry to southern China.

Not just in the case of mandarin but across the world, children are forced to learn two or more languages. It is unnecessary and a waste of time, enforced only in the name of preserving their culture/identity. It only serves to increase burden on children, and waste their time.
