Jalan Alor to Jalan Kejora

You would have noticed in the papers recently regarding the proposed name change of Jalan Alor to Jalan Kejora (What?). Yes, Jalan Alor’s popular name listed on the internet and widely known amongst locals and foreigners alike has been changed to Jalan Kejora (Translated to English to mean Venus) just so that Bukit Bintang Area has one of the stars/planet within its vacinity.

Most people are wondering why they’re changing something which ain’t broken. My sentiments exactly. But if you think about it deeper, perhaps these people behind the changes have a higher ulterior motive. Imagine how many road signs will need to be changed as a result of the name change. Imagine how many maps will need to be updated. Brochures, books & Other materials with the mention of Jalan Alor will also need to be changed. Someone’s definitely getting rich because of this. Frankly speaking, a pure waste of the tax payer’s money. I definitely hope they re-think this properly and not jump into it just coz some fella wanted to have a constellation under his belt.
