Dick Lee is a Singaporean artist. His first song, "Rasa Sayang," is a rap-style song that uses a lot of Singlish and satirizes Singaporean culture, and clearly expresses his belief that Singlish (Chinese, English with a Malay accent) is one of the few cultures in the country. The song was banned by the government, but was so popular that it was eventually lifted.
