by having english name, it can keep people remembering you.

This is true, when i first met someone and he/she told me their name without the english name. then i am sure i cant remember >< is just too hard unless is friends who meet up all the time

as stated before purely for simplicity and convenience or Christian-borned

Some probably the same reason why malays have arabic names.

Malay and Bumiputera is not a race lah! its classification!

Taoist/Buddhist/Hinduism are Secular religion, and there is no masuk religion, its just a practice, where anyone can practise it, part of it becomes culture, and part as dogmatic.

they liked to put because they can

its funny why chinese ppl say other chinese name is hard to pronounce or remember LoL.

one person name consist of his/her parent or family name and his/her own name that might be given by their parents or grandparents. when they r expecting u to this world, they spent alot of time thinking of a name for u.

so when we address another person name, indirectly we r adressing his/her entiry family. so pls try to at least pronounce or remember it. to show respect.

also pls dont be a pushover and go use a english name bcos it will be easier to remember. Ching chong cheng is always more unique than michael, david or jason on any given day
