You are doing all wrong for chinese name.

If in malaysia and singapore yes.

Internationally u have to do like this:

Full name: alan tan kok yee

First name: alan
Last name: tan kok yee

You will get a lot of headaches and rejections if u use ur malaysia method in international western countries.

I have had different western bank in different countries reject my withdrawal because i follow melaysia standerd.

Internationally if someone Full Name is only -- TAN KOK YEE ?
What is the First Name & Last Name?
First Name: Kok Yee
Last Name: Tan
am I right?
If it is right.. then the first name and the last name are not consistent anymore...

No.

Internationally.

First name: Tan
Last name: Kok Yee

I tot last name... must be family name?!!
At least I do it as your way too.. but my boss insisted me to make Last name as family Name.. he told me internationally is like that
yup yup.. this is wat I tot as well
I am keen to understand if there is Middle name/ without ALAN

How about name as TAN KOK YEE
First Name : YEE
Middle Name : KOK
Last Name : For sure it is TAN
as I right? so confusing

That's asian mentality because we have what is called a sirname.

If you boss insist to do that then just follow his way habos ceritakan?

Wow mana your internationally came from?
first name always = name given by parents
Last name = Surname

I deal with many foreign bank, and i can confirm your format is incorrect mate.

So in you format:

First name: alan kok yee
Last name tan

When printed in single line becomes : alan kok yee tan.

Now when u wanna cash a check explain how u gonna do it cox check now is alan kok yee tan?

Based on real life scenario and experience dealing with banks in the us of and european countries. They dont take what u learn in asian school and culture and apply to their banking culture. U try explaining ur culture in the bank they will just say u sohai and ask u correct it.

In asia is self understood if western. No. Either u follow format or reject. Ur choice.

True storeyz.
