Singapore once banned "Popeye" from local TV stations during the 1980s because the cartoon series promoted the wrong or distorted usage of English grammar.
Although educators in Singapore saw nothing wrong with the story, it feared that the "bad English" used by Popeye in his dialogues would encourage kids to imitate its uses. Among the kind of bad English that Singaporean educators pointed out from Popeye was the use of "me" instead of "my" to describe his ownership over certain things, like "I'm strong to the finish, cause I eat 'me' spinach".
Singapore was under a strict program to promote the use of English as a second language in its elementary and high schools in its aim for "first world" proficiency of its citizens right after graduation
