GEORGE TOWN : Three roads here have had their names changed since last month following requests from the public, says State Penang Geographical Names committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari .
He said Thursday that the roads affected were Jalan Muntri, which had been renamed Lebuh Muntri; Jalan Lorong Kuching to Lorong Kuching; and the road at Lorong Lembah Permai 9 to Lebuh Lembah Permai 1. He said there were several other requests to change the street names in Penang such as Jalan Cheong Fatt Tze, which has been changed to Hongkong Street, and Jalan Abu Siti to its original spelling, Aboo Sittee.
He also expected that early next year, the names of towns in the state would also have their spellings standardised according to the original name already gazetted. - Bernama
