The stupid government new ruling now does not allow single alphabet names to be registered. So I cannot name my little angel U-Shern, because 'U' is unacceptable in their new guideline.
What kind of stupid ruling is that, right? Actually it is because they wanted to eliminate those people who uses single alphabet as short forms. Such as S. Jayakaran or K.Mohamed.
We told them that 'U' is not a short form and is a pronunciation but they also refuse to budge from the new guideline. :(
So now if I want to maintain his name as the same pronunciation, I need to change the spelling.
So Lim U-Shern is now Lim Yiu-Shern.

oh u not giving the typical nasi kunyit, curry chicken and red egg type stuff?
hmm....... it is a very stupid ruling indeed.
actually could u have argued that "U-Shern" is one word, therefore it is not a single alphabet on its own?
"Yiu" is nice tho.. i prefer it over "eu" or "ewe" :)
chiao ju...yes..im giving those traditional stuff as well. i like to mantain some sort of tradition on such things ;)
shuey...we tried arguing dee. but they brought out a big guideline book which states no single letter allowed as part of a name.
