Does this mean the 21,000 page dossier on Arjuna Mahendran autographed page-by-page by the former HE (till his fingers were bleeding) and airmailed to the Singapore PM, is no longer valid as it bears an invalid name?
I hope the current HE will not be required to re-autograph the 21,000 page dossier with AM’s current name.

According to http://www.names.org, the name ‘Harjan’ is of Indian (Sanskrit) origin and means “God is powerful”.
