The asymptotic limit of the nonlinear Schrödinger-Poisson system with general WKB initial data is studied in this paper. It is proved that the current, defined by the smooth solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger-Poisson system, converges to the strong solution of the incompressible Euler equations plus a term of fast singular oscillating gradient vector fields when both the Planck constant $\hbar$ and the Debye length $\lambda$ tend to zero. The proof involves homogenization techniques, theories of symmetric quasilinear hyperbolic system and elliptic estimates, and the key point is to establish the uniformly bounded estimates with respect to both the Planck constant and the Debye length.
