What road user thinks about the renaming of these 8 major roads:
“name is too long and it’s difficult to memorize”
“its a waste of money”
“Maharaja: I personally wouldn’t want a road to be named after me. Could you imagine the masses, when the road is jammed with traffic, cursing me.” (picked from MalaysiaKini.com)
“Dewan Bandaraya should send out a poll with three names and let citizens choose. The name that gets the most popular vote will be selected. Simple.”
