Oh, if there’s room, definitely yes!

I’ve just added it using the “Propose your own event” form on the Programme page.

Some of the more common languages you’ll hear on the streets would be Penang Hokkien, Malay, Tamil, English as well as a few other Chinese languages like Cantonese, Hakka, Teochew and Hainanese. Increasingly there are more and more guest workers from Myanmar, Nepal and Bangladesh so you might even hear Burmese, Nepali and Bengali !
