An English name is fine. Naming yourself, Master Turkey Baster the IIIrd isn't.

ok lar u win......

they iz christian

not christian - for glamour

globalization.

because Christianity.

nama = ching chong chong

christian = Jhonny Walker Chong.

and some freak curse the malays last 2 days of not holding to their roots by using arabic names.

christian or for the ease of foreigners to remember name

same like malay likes to put arabic name, and indian likes to put english name .....i guess?

1) Some chinese are Christian, thats why they have English name. (For example, like me)
2) Most of the Malay and Indian don't know how to pronounce our chinese name correctly, so instead of keep on being call the wrong name. Just put an English name.
3) Put English no need Government tax, no need register. So, why not?
