Chinese given name
Some Chinese use a Western personal name (for example, "Denise Foo"), and some use this in preference to a Chinese given name. Most of these are used by Chinese Malaysian Christians, or Chinese who primarily speak English. On official documents, this name is either written in the order "Western given name - surname - Chinese given name" (e.g., Denise Foo Li Leen) or "surname - Chinese given name - Western given name" (e.g., Foo Li Leen Denise), "or Western given name - Chinese given name - surname" (e.g., Denise Li Leen Foo). In general practice, only one of the given names (the Western or Chinese name) is used. Chinese Malaysian Muslims may use Arabic given names while some use Arabic-derived Chinese names, e.g., Firdaus Fong Siew Chong.
