DEPUTY Federal Territories Minister Datuk M. Saravanan said that Jalan Berhala in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, would be renamed in memory of two prominent Malaysian Indians, Makkal Osai reported.
He said one part of the road would be named after K. Ramanathan Chettiar, the third MIC president from 1950 to 1951, and the other part after Tan Sri M.G. Pandithan, who was the founder-president of the Indian Progressive Front.
He also said the name change was made in agreement with Kuala Lumpur City Hall and was part of efforts to turn the area into a “Little India”.
He added that the Government had in 1982 approved the naming of a road after another Indian leader, Tun V.T. Sambanthan, who was the MIC’s fifth president.
