BUTTERWORTH: The state will consider naming a road after late Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) president S.M. Mohamed Idris, says Local Government Committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo.“If there are suggestions to name a road after him, we will definitely take it into consideration,” he said during a press conference at the Seberang Prai Municipal Council headquarters yesterday.
He was responding to a question raised by the press about non-governmental organisations urging the state to name a road after Mohamed Idris, who passed away on May 17.Among the suggestions were renaming a road at the rear of the CAP headquarters near the State Mosque which is now called Jalan Kennedy after Englishman P. Kennedy, the president of the Penang Municipal Commissioners in 1889.
