BTW, 999, I may have given the wrong impression. The only member of my family who is directly Chinese (i.e. by nationality) is my maternal grandmother, who was born in 1927 and came to Malaysia to marry my grandfather. Both my parents are ethnic Chinese born in Malaysia. I don't know; I've never asked my parents (or grandparents, who I am lucky enough to see fairly frequently), but I'm sure they'd be a bit apprehensive. My grandmother can't speak English, so I've never asked her.
