  A SINGAPORE passport holder's surname and first/middle names should be clearly identified.

  It is the convention in Singapore to place the surname first, but this is not the practice in many countries.

  To avoid confusion, a clear identification of the surname is advisable, given the paramount importance of the passport as a document of identity.

  Go and follow the practice of other countries for fuck?

  Most countries don't use language that is alien to majority of local population as dominant language, so should Singapore follow?

  This guy must be nut to claim this "It is the convention in Singapore to place the surname first, but this is not the practice in many countries." See his name, must assume that he is an Indian, did he know that nearly all countries in East Asian put their surname in front. So he expect every country just change to suit his nation.
