[bushtucker]

she took her husband's surname, i guess.

 

[Kangtangman]

I believe it has to do with her dialect group. Back in the old days most surname follow the pronunciation of their individual dialect group. For instant 姚 in Teochew will be Neo and in Hainanese is Yau I think.

So for her case she may be a Hokkien(I think)

 

[NoNewsGood]

She is Mrs Teo.

 

[tanwahp]

Maiden surname is "Yong".

 

[Annunaki]

I thought she is called bitch? What 杨莉明?

bushtucker is right. She is married to civil servant Teo Eng Cheong

Nonsense. 杨 in Teochew and Hokkien is transliterated as Yeo or Yeoh (Penang), in Cantonese as Yeong or Yeung (HK).

Teo (张) is her husband's surname, which she has adopted.

 

[red amoeba]

during registration, the clerk mistook Yeo as Teo....

Not an ordinary civil servant. He is CEO of IE, which recorded wrong data for economic reports resulting in a one or two month delay in the release of the data. Looks like incompetence runs in their family.

Yes rather than debating her surname we should all focus instead on the money sucking skills of these jiakliaobees.
Getting distracted is ok....dun go off course....must always keep an eye on these vile scums.

Those with yeoh or Teoh are usually Malaysian. In sinkieland we spell it as Teo or Yeo. It the same surname with different spelling.

Jos is a 福州人.

 

[Meerebus]

She can be called whatever name she wants ... Just try not to open her cb mouth too often and irritate people.
