In my opinion the Kuala Lumpur City Hall should not change the name Jalan Alor to Jalan Kejora as it has sparked a public outcry. Although the objective of action is to create new image, the authority must consider the effect of their action upon public interest. The Jalan Alor name has been in existence for 35 years, therefore it is difficult to change the mind setting of society. City Hall explained that the name was changed at the request of the National Economic Action Council to meet requirements under the road naming guidelines and to go with other roads in the vicinity. Besides, the changing of the name has numerous effects to public, traders, and tourists. The tourists feel that the popular street should retain its name for the convenience of tourists looking for the place the next time they return here. In addition, the area had taken years to establish its reputation and changing its name overnight was unfair to the locals. For conclusion, in my point of view, the name Jalan Alor should be maintained for the sake of the public, traders, and tourist.
