QUOTE(edwardstevens @ May 12 2009, 11:43 AM) i know they didnt do anything wrong. just want to tell them the correct way of calling me. is it wrong for me to do so? if your name is ali bin abu, they either call you ali or in formal situations, mr abu. if you insist on being called mr ali in a formal conversation then yes, you will look like someone who is ignorant of social etiquettes. calling ali bin abu mr ali in a formal conversation is not "correct". just because you prefer it doesnt make it "correct". |

Social conversation such as this is only true if its among white people, or of white people's formal gathering, or people who use white culture. it doesn't work if you're among Malays. They'll refer you as Encik Ali instead of Encik Abu right? |
