Gordonator SG i don’t find calling army friends by surname rude. because only people that u are close to will do that. give me a heart warming feeling, no?
zenmaster SG During my first ICT, I barely know my men. The only way is to call them by whatever is on their name tags. They dun take offence to it.
Gordonator SG ya, this might be consider rude. this sounds a lot better. most senior officers call their men this way what.
droopyeyes SG hm.. ok. let's say the guy name is Xiaoming. so is.. Oei, Xiaoming, come here! got diff meh? LOL. it makes no diff to me when u call the person by name or surname.
nismoS132 SG your close frens will oso call you by your surname one what once you reach a certain age. alot of ppl around 20 onwards dunno why start switching to surname liao. it's like you speak english in pri sch. chinese in sec sch. and hokkien in poly. everything has a stage in life
Gordonator SG if anyone finds calling by surname rude. ask them to address u by your rank then followed by your surname.
