it doesn't matter for msians, as the msian passport has NO surname, so you can put anything any order you want as surname....

because 80% of the population has no surname anyway....malays, many s&s natives and tamil indians...

the msian passport does not follow the icao convention of << sign separating surname from given name, so technically the whole name is the surname....and there is no given name....

it does to some extend, if you are travelling to a country which requires APIS submission....i can NEVER check in online with sq to oz....as the system will reject due to ETA name difference...don't seem to have this problem with mh/d7/qf/ek....
