Assoc. Prof. Ho Peng Kee: Sir, can I make a brief clarification on the reply I just gave?

Mr Speaker: Okay.

Assoc. Prof. Ho Peng Kee: I just want to clarify that when we use the word "dominant" in our reply, it does not imply superiority or something more important. It is just that the parents choose the first name, for the reasons that we have given.
