It's a punny story... PHOTOS: Here’s Why Germany Is Renaming Their Train Station ‘Kuala Schlumpur’ For 3 Days
Malaysia has a pretty notorious tendency to crawl into international affairs for all the wrong reasons. Most recently, a train station in Germany has decided to rebrand itself using a spin-off of our capital city.
While ‘Kuala Schlumpur’ sounds like something straight out of a kids’ storybook, the reason behind the renaming is pretty unpleasant. In actuality, the name was changed in attempt to raise public awareness of the potential effects of climate change. The Hamburger Verkehrsverbund reportedly modified the names of some bus stops and metro stations to include the names of warmer nations.punnyAs stated by an HVV representative, Hamburg, Germany has also suffered as a result of increasing sea levels, protracted droughts, and high temperatures.
In addition to that, S Casablankenese , Trabrennbahn Balearenfeld , U Mümmelmannbeach and Schenefelder La Paz were also involved in the name change.
