KUALA SELANGOR, March 19 (Bernama) -- Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim is to seek an explanation from the Klang Municipal Council (MPK) on the local authority's proposal to change the name of the "Little India" enclave in Jalan Tengku Kelana, Klang, to Medan Kelana.
"We will have a meeting with MPK to find out the rationale for the proposal," he told reporters after the presentation of school aid by the Selangor Islamic Affairs Council, here.
The media reported that Selangor MIC was opposed to the MPK proposal to rename "Little India" as Medan Kelana as it would cause the area to lose its identity. The "Little India" Traders Association also voiced opposition to the move as well.
Meanwhile, Abdul Khalid, when asked to comment on Bukit Lanjan Assemblyman Elizabeth Wong's decision to quit, said a decision on the matter would only be made at the weekend.
He said the matter would be discussed by the Selangor State Executive Council.
"Whatever the decision, it can only be made by the menteri besar and the state executive council," he said.
Wong, 37, had submitted her letter of resignation as a state executive councillor and state assemblyman to Abdul Khalid on Feb 17 after her semi-nude photographs had appeared on the Internet.
