* Singlish is a largely spoken creole, and as such descriptivism (recording forms that reflect actual pronunciation in spoken language, or as appearing in the linguistic corpus) is more pertinent than strict prescriptivism. Nevertheless, the use of more standard forms (or for words originating in languages with Latin script, such as Malay, accurate to the original spelling) is recommended and encouraged.

- a cultivar of durian originating in Gua Musang, Kelantan, Malaysia, prized for its texture and flavour
At a press conference on June 27, Agriculture Minister Mohamad Sabu said the variety – also known as Musang King – “must be recognised as a Malaysian product because it is getting popular, particularly in China”.
He added that Malaysia’s Agriculture Department and its international trade unit “will initiate the move to patent the Musang King”, reported New Straits Times.
