1. Malaysia is a multicultural multiracial nation or monocultural monoracial? Stop trying to turn it into another Indonesia. Look at 1998, that assimilation shit doesn't work as long as prejudice exists between mata sepet & non mata sepet ppl. So better go and focus on finding $$$, be nice to each other and bettering your life, than trying to make Ah Chong to Abdullah Chong

2. My forefather may be immigrant, but I am born Malaysian citizen holding blue IC now. So deal with it, else lu tak suka lu keluar

There is no shame in our names that has been given by our parents. You are just over thinking it.

Firstly, its just glamor names, just like ladies called Suhaidah asking me to call her Sue, or Rubiah asking me to call her Ruby (true stories yoh) so what if I call myself Alan or Mark or David?

Secondly, if we really insist on our real names, you will not be able to pronounce it correctly and what comes out would insult the person's name. As an example, do you know how to pronounce Tan Su Mei properly? Far better to call Elizabeth or Lizzie, no?

lel thats quite easy, try pronouncing Chow Yuen Fat (and without google audio translate)

The point here is, you can't get the diction right if you're not the native speaker. Anyways, naming convention evolved over the years, it was common in the old days for parents to name their children ah chu, ah kow, ah ngow, ah moi (pig, dog, cow, girl) but its different today.

Hmmm... I didn't know having glamor names means I'm ashamed of my real name ok, I'll make sure I'll tell that to kak Sue and kak Ruby next time I see them

Just because ppl dun agree with your umno views, you call them don't act like umno. Typical seiji logic

Freedom of speech works both ways. You have freedom of speech to post craps like these, but I don't have freedom of speech to call you out on your crap? Where is the freedom of speech now?

Freedom of speech right? They cannot call the author umno paidlah ..macailah....authro pretend chineselah? Where is the freedom of speech now?

Mutu or Sashi not as cool as Mark or Sam. So? Ok nvm, I'll also go tell kak Sue and kak Ruby next week back to office, they like to suck up to western culture

As expected from seiji, delete oth ppl's post but not aliester's posts. That one not trolling lah?

Fine, so you missed out aliester's posts. So bila mau delete?

deleted

Then I say good for you. But is your example a common fact or exception on the average non chinese ability to pronounce chinese names?

Anyways, I never knew having glamor names actually means we are ashamed of our real names. Can cite the source of that research/ findings?
