suka hati mereka la nak letak name ape pon

easier to pronounce + wont easy to mistaken for other ppl la

later Mr.Lee so many la

from my experience, its chinese school grad ah lian and ah beng who is fond of putting english name. in the opposite camp, the banana chinese with no english name won't bother for it and proud to use their chinese name. so it leaves you in a situation where lim ah kaw speaks english like an englishman while joe valentino tan can only go "ching chong ching chong" don't be surprised!

i had a hard time identifying my long lost ah beng/ah lian friends on facebook. i was going like "wtf, this guy calls himself desmond now! tak tau malu ke "

btw desmond is a very popular abeng name

You are on my human punching bag list.
