Maybe this poll will show how Chinese is becoming an internationally-used language! (Which is quite surprising to me as Chinese is so hard to learn, but it makes sense because the China market is booming.)

Yes, the surname Ng in Singapore can be the Chinese equivalent of 黄. But some people with the surname 黄 also spell it as Huang in English...there are different English versions of the same Chinese surname. Same goes for some other surnames
That's right, 星州 means Singapore, but we Singaporeans don't call Singapore by that name...we just call it 新加坡.
