the jokers who recommended a delete... have very poor research skills. Chensiyuan 15:22, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Ong" or "Teck Chin"

A joker (IP 165.21.155.8) changed Ong's surname to "Teck Chin" throughout the article on 6 August 2006. That's rather unusual. If that person is notable enough to have his own Wikipedia article (as seems to have been established during the deletion discussion), then he deserves the respect of being referred to by his surname. The contributor's rationale for the change was that "Ong is his last name", which in addition to being highly contentious (see Chinese surname), makes precisely the point that it should remain as the default for referring to him. You don't see Einstein being called "Albert" in his article, either! JREL (talk) 08:10, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Since there do not seem to be any objections, I've reverted the changes. JREL (talk) 02:21, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
