There was a guy used to turn up in the shareholder registers of a lot of the malayan rubber & tin companies called himself Me Fuk Yu, always raised a smile. Especially as I believe the Chinese put the family name first. So you could read it backwards.

Sandwich bar here called FUK. Even in translation it works; ‘Let’s go to Fuk!’

Closed down not long ago.
