Jalan Kejor Alor?

I wonder how long was the meeting to decide to change the iconic-street-name-where-locals-and-tourist-go-for-street-foodJalan Alor to Jalan Kejora? Wtf? I seriously don't see a point in this re-branding exercise. The famous-road itself is an iconic landmark with hundreds of publications and websites linking to it.

[googlemaps http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=jalan+alor,+malaysia&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=38.775203,72.246094&ie=UTF8&s=AARTsJqO-377olixSsCj0Poqg51a5UaNxw&ll=3.145626,101.707885&spn=0.003749,0.005364&t=h&z=17&output=embed&w=500&h=350]

If you look the names of the road above, the only names that is close enough to the constellation of the universe is Jalan Bulan and Jalan Bintang. I reckon after Jalan Kejora, names like Jalan Marikh, Jalan Zuhal, Jalan UrAnus, Jalan Musyitari, Jalan Neptun, Jalan Pluto and so forth untill the end of the universe will appear around the vicinity.

Even I rarely go there to eat because it's mostly chinese street food i.e. non-halal I still feel dissapointed. I know people flock there for their alor chicken wings (the best one is at the end...i was recommended and filmed there), frog porridge (?) and other street foods.

In New York one famous Malaysian restaurant Fatty Crab has Alor Chicken Wings in its menu so does any other World's Best Malaysian Restaurant around the world. "What's Alor stands for?" one customer might asked "It's named after the name of the road in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. And now the name of the road has changed to Kejora which means Venus". Venus chicken wings it is then! Booooriiiinnng........

Sedih... Sedih... So does everyother blogger and publications online.
