Apparently i'm stuck with my chinese name for 16years and now that i've stepped into poly life, i wish to get an english name but i'm not sure how? Do i have to go through a formal procedure or i can just anyhow add in by telling others. Do i have to add it to my IC? If my IC doesn't show my english name, can i use it for later time, when during work? Pls Guide Me

Thank you

You can still tell others your english name and use it for work, for leisure etc. On verbal you can use it but on paper and filling up documents then you have to follow what is on your IC.

Change name on IC very mafan de, don't bother to waste time and money.

Why do the hassle? I am the only guy in my class without an English name and I find it unique

Haha U guys r so nice, despite me being the 1st time posting. Acutally i'm not really so unhappy with my life. I'm actually quite happy with it. I'm cheerful=D
But i just find having a english name would make it easier for communications
Because i've once work a part time job in a office when everybody keep asking me got english name anot. So in the end they called me Ah Boy instead.
Btw isit expensive to change into english name?

To change on IC i think you need hire lawyer etc. You are adding a name so i not sure but my friend who just changed a letter in his name and it cost him a few hundred dollars.

U find some1 older than 30 to ask then cos i didn't know that and even if got, its more to update the photo and unsure about the name cos that is legally bonded. You want change name officially need change alot of stuff and the older you get the more mafan it becomes cos you have more and more things under your name which must all be changed.
