i can confirm for sure that GOH is ur family/last/surname, while yin shen is ur first/given name.

so it will be written as Yin Shen Goh. another convention that the europeans have adopted is to capitalize the surname, like Yin SHen GOH.

the brits often confuse and assumed my surname is Yasir and not Mat Yasir. letters often go to the wrong mailbox, filed under the wrong category and so on. so i can only imagine the problems the chinese, korean and japanese have with a frontal surname.

so i've adopted the convention of capitalizing or underlining my surname like so:

Azari MAT YASIR
Azari Mat Yasir

this is a convention that they accept when u dont have a box for surname and first name. use it. make ur life easier.
