Chan is so NOT the most common Chinese surname in Singapore, Tan is. Chan is somewhere mid table of the top twenty, right above Koh, the two differing by merely a few hundred. Don't take my word for it look at the 2002 statistics. Of course, Kang doesn't come anywhere into the picture, though it has been in the news a lot more than Chan or Koh recently.

got a set of three limited edition stikfas figurines today from the Navy, thanks to a recruitment game thing they did on a web site. Navy diver, weapons specialist and officer. These are made in Singapore, non-Hasbro sets, shiok! tempted to put them up on ebay just to see how much some american would pay for it. but then I have an obligation to sell once they're put up for auction, not prepared to do that.
