Madam Tan Burok |
Her name itself is interesting as if you translate Burok from Baba Malay to English, it doesn't sound nice, so why would she be called Tan Burok ? Was is a Baba Malay nickname that stuck with her ?
Another point to note that was highlighted by Raymond Goh to me was that the English names of her granddaughter was "translated" from English to Chinese in a literal manner.
