Wong, who lives in Taman Eng Ann here, said that his close ties with everything Tamil was due to his many Tamil friends.“I went to a national primary school and there were only two to three Chinese boys, including me, in the class with the rest being Malays and Indians. Wong said he has fallen deeply in love with the Tamil language, culture and traditions and enjoys cultural festivities such as Ponggal and Puthandu .“When I listen to Tamil songs, I am able to enjoy their lyrical beauty,’’ said Wong quoting the lyrics of the song Poove Sempoove from the 1988 movie Solla Thudikuthu Manasu.“My friends told me that I must have a Tamil name because I was more Tamizhan than Chinese, and since all of them have nicknames, I coined one for myself as well,’’ said Wong.
He said his mother, who grew-up in a Chinese village and had less exposure to Indians, was initially quite puzzled.
