According to the latest figures from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) More Singaporeans are applying to change their names. Part of the reason for the rise in name change applications is due to many PRC new citizens wanting to change their name to a more Singaporean-sounding name to fit in better.

These days, the ICA is getting an average of 6000 applications to change names each year. 10 years ago, the numbers were about 4,800 a year.

To change names, individuals usually go through a lawyer and have a deed poll drafted. This service usually costs between $70 to $100 and the deed poll then needs to be taken to ICA.

Several law firms here shared that they have seen many odd requests but have indeed seen many migrants wanting to change their names to blend in better.

Some common changes include adding English or Christian names while others, especially for PRCs include changing their hanyu pinyin names to dialect names.
For example, surnames like Wang are often changed to Wong or Chen to Tan.

Another popular minor change includes splitting up PRC given names into two words to reflect the naming trend in Singapore. For example, the China name Yumei might be legally changed to Yu Mei as this is close to the naming convention which is popular here.

Other interesting changes, which lawyers here have come across, include drastic changes where individuals want to take on names of celebrities, game characters, numbers or even words that they like.

Changing name is popular at the age of 30 when Singaporeans need to make a new IC anyway.

In terms of restrictions, the ICA advised that names longer than 54 characters are not permitted as they don’t fit on the IC and they generally advise parents against giving their children names which include vulgarities or have no phonetic significance such as those made of numbers of symbols.
The ICA reserves the right to assess each application on its merits.

Indonland used to force their chinks to change their names and discard surnames.
Thailand also used to encourage their chinks to drop their surnames.
Anyone can change their names in Sg by deed poll.

Why would anyone from the glorious country of China want to be a citizen of sinkieland?

Anyway, it is best that the Sinkie govt must pass a law to make Singaporeans change their names to be more PRC sounding. For who does not want to be part of a superior culture?

This is probably being initiated by the government so when these new citizens commit a crime or kill someone on the roads, the subsequent publicity will hide the fact that the offender is FT.

then Sinkies change to foreign names lah.......
