exists.

He
said in his blog: -
I spotted
this on Vicki's Flickr. Check out the guy's name: Kiasu
Ong! Now, if there's a contest for the most popular Singaporean
name, I think this guy will win hands down.
Vicki
told me that she spotted the ad on Business Times. It covers
half a page and is full of faces of property agents.
Yup,
Kiasu Ong sells houses and according to this comment I found
on a Tomorrow.sg post, it says he works for Dennis Wee Properties
and he is one of their top agents.
No wonder.
With a name like that, how can he not be a top seller, aye.
Update:
Thanks to reader Chris Ong (no relations to Kiasu Ong, I
think) who wrote to me saying that Kiasu Ong is no longer
with Dennis Wee Properties. He is now a Division Head with
Anchor Properties. Ah, there he is.

If my parents gave me that name, I will disown them!

I think he gave the name to himself. His real name is Donald.

Wow he became Division Head. You're right man. Need to have
a name like him to succeed in business.

I hope he doesn't he have a sibling named 'Kiasi'!
