Capitalisation of the first HYPY letter in a sentence remains in the new \"Bible\" (s6.3.1).  <br /><br />To move with the times, esp after London Olympics, PRC MOE finetined and standardised the usage of uppercase HYPY on sportsmen's jerseys, building signages, city names, attraction names, etc.<br /> <img src="\&quot;http://i57.tinypic.com/fuqo3t.png\&quot;" /><img src="\&quot;&lt;a" />http://i57.tinypic.com/fuqo3t.png\"&gt; <br /><br />All mainland school textbooks have since been updated.<br /><br />SG MOE is merely keeping up with the gatekeeper of HYPY.<p></p>]]></description><link>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/1439088</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/1439088</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[jetsetter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 29 Dec 2014 09:09:24 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to New ! 2015 Primary School Mother Tongue Languages Curriculum on Mon, 29 Dec 2014 00:48:17 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p dir="auto">is 1b out already?</p>
