Renaming of roads nothing to do with ‘Malay agenda’, says Khairy


PETALING JAYA: The move by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to rename eight major roads in Kuala Lumpur after past Yang di-Pertuan Agong is not part of a “Malay agenda”, said Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin (pic).

“The Agong is for the whole of Malaysia. Why do you want to associate the renaming of KL streets after past rulers with a Malay agenda?” questioned Khairy on his Twitter, Tuesday.
