Recently, a re-branding exercise undertaken by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) for Bukit Bintang aka 'Star Hill' that saw 'Jalan Alor' being renamed to 'Jalan Kejora', had created an uproar among the dozens of traders who sell local delicacies there. (Source: Malaysiakini)
"DBKL should name the street back to Jalan Alor and the city mayor, Abdul Hakim Borhan should resign for allowing this matter to take place," said Fong, MP for Bukit Bintang. He further condemned the move, which was made without the consent of the public and claimed that there were many quarters who were not satisfied with it. (Source: Malaysiakini)
My question is, 'Why is DBKL acting like it is the sole decision maker, the champion?' Kuala Lumpur is not a cowboy town ruled by one mayor. Kuala Lumpur is a city that belongs to the rakyat, the ordinary folk who work hard and pay taxes. Why does DBKL not have any respect for the locals who make a living along Jalan Alor?
