… is the mayor in KL in which consists of 10 Opposition members of Parliament with only one from Barisan Nasional.
… the mayor who renamed the popular street of "Jalan Alor" to "Jalan Kejora" as part of the so-called "new image creation exercise" without consulting the public regarding the matter, and,
… the mayor who spent RM1.329mil on overseas trip and the sweetest part, it’s fully paid by Malaysian taxpayers, like you, me and many more who work hard to put three square meals on the table.
… is the mayor who should have resigned or otherwise being sacked for the above reasons but so far, he chooses to defense his latest move.
… is the mayor who doesn’t really care if there is more than a million results on the search engine when you search "Jalan Alor" while "Jalan Kejora" is an alien word to the tourist worldwide. Who cares about the tourist anyway, "new image" is more important.
…. is the mayor who is prepared to go down the Malaysia Book of Records as the mayor who changes the name for highest number of roads around the Bukit Bintang area. Again, who cares about the tourist anyway, "new image" is paramount.
Last but not least, he is the mayor who is going to oversee and decide who gets the contract for the "new image" exercise, and … so …
It’s high time for the Government to resuscitate the long dead local council election as soon as possible as it’s the only way to compel the elected representatives answerable to the taxpayers, until then, things will continue to be swept under the carpet.

As long as there are no local elections, the chances of mis-governance will always loom over every municipality. The lack of accountability is so glaring. And the minister does nothing. Both are in the same boat.
