kalau tuan = puan

cik = aik? or bik?

The norm of address woman based on the marital status is no longer applicable nowdays. I remember reading the article about the woman in western countries, they are no longer want to use their husbands' family names because it has been practiced since medieval ages where women have no will and power to decide anything on themselves. Same goes to the salutation of ms or mrs.

puan = merrid
cik = single ready to mingle

The guy is simply kissing his superior ass in front of his colleagues for brownie points.
You are thinking too much.

cik sounds like calling lenglui, awek suka

puan sounds like calling ahso

If in business or formal setting, call puan. Whether the person is single or married is irrelevant, puan is to show respect. Use cik if only the person told you to call her cik instead.

In casual/informal setting, if you know the lady is single then use cik. If unsure, use puan first. Better to start on more formal then lower down.

Call miss or cik to be safe...

Call her pundek

apa nama tak tau, saya nak tanya..

Sohai beta

I call them "moi"

Cantek, moi pakei seluar dalam brand apa?

See awek call her MAKCIK
See amoi call her AH SOH
See minachi call her AMA

For surgeons, they are informally addressed as Miss or Mr instead of Dr. So yeah i guess Miss is more atas.

Ms. not Miss. Different la. Surgeon not use Miss.
Ms pronoun shorter like Miz
Miss pronoun like (this)(hiss)
