Zulhadi Omar

Zulhadi Omar, also known as Eddie Teyo, is a Malaysian handyman and sales executive. He was born on 17 July 1978 at the Batu Pahat Hospital in Johor.[1] Due to a hospital mix-up following erroneous switch at birth, he was wrongly recorded born as a Malay Muslim of couple Omar Saim and Hasnah Salleh, while in fact he is the biological son of Chinese and Buddhist parent Teyo Ma Liong @ Teo Ma Liong and Lim Sik Hai as confirmed in a DNA test.[2] He is known for his many lawsuits against Malaysia in a bid to officially change faith from Islam to Buddhism.[3][4][5]

In this Chinese name, the family name is Teyo (张).
In this Malay name, there is no family name. The name Omar is a patronymic, and the person should be referred to by the given name, Zulhadi.
