Malay names is actually using son of dottee of format right?
eg. raheesah binte Khan
eg. Faisal bin manap
why they keep calling them Ms
Khan or Mr. manap?
should be Ms. raheesah or Mr. Faisal right

Correct what.

When you use Mr/Ms. It is always used with the family name

Like Mr Lee, Mr Tan etc.

So RK surname is Khan so is Ms Khan and likewise for Mr manap

For that lady, yes, but not for Faisal because Manap is not a family's name but his father's name.
