Singlish getting popular with some Japs

It was reported on Tomorrow.sg that Singlish is winning some Japanese fans. It's ironic because Singlish is something that's truely "uniquely Singapore" but officially, it is discouraged. If Singlish becomes a pop cultural phenomenon with economic returns, will there be a change of heart by the powers that be to give Singlish some sort of "official" status?
Japanese pop culture (anime, cosplay etc.) is very popular in Singapore. But looks like Singlish is now winning some Japanese fans. Mousan has a couple of posts on her blog explaining Singlish grammar.
