Proposal to rename Jalan Ampang to Jalan Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad

Cheras UMNO chief Datuk Syed Ali Alhabshee has proposed that Jalan Ampang be renamed Jalan Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad in recognition of his service as prime minister for 22 years.

He said Dr Mahathir was responsible for developing Malaysia, a respected and important member of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC).

"We have Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Jalan Tun Razak and Bandar Tun Hussein Onn among others. It is time to honour Tun for his 22 years of service," he said after opening of Cheras Umno division delegates meeting today.

The former prime minister who was unwell was represented by his wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali who opened the meeting.
