Chinese Name = Tan Kok Yee
First Name: Kok Yee
Last Name: Tan
*Need to remember last name is meant for Family name

Chinese Name combined with western name = Alan Tan Kok Yee
Need your suggestion which option is correct?
Option 1
First Name: Kok Yee
Last Name: Alan Tan
*Don't make sense where Alan is name family name, why put at the last name coloum

Option 2
First Name: Alan, Kok Yee / Kok Yee, Alan
Last Name: Tan
*but very weird..
Need your opinion especially for Chinese name that added with western name...
*
For chinese name Alan Tan Kok Yee
First name: Alan Kok Yee
Last name: Tan

That's how it should be done, if there's middle name field, you can put the chinese name in middle name instead,
First name: Alan
Middle name: Kok Yee
Last name: Tan

If the field is just full name, you can arrange same way as your identification (passport usually for international) and underline your surname:
ALAN TAN KOK YEE

i lived in usa for 25 years.. so used to first name, last name basis..

so, ali bin muhammad. = muhammad ali.. last name written first..

In the case of Muhammad Ali, Muhammad is his firstname and Ali is his surname.
His daughter's name is Laila Ali (notice it's not rearranged Ali binti Laila), he doesn't follow the Malay version where there is father's name instead of surname.
