I'd rather leave it to you all to list down the names.<BR/><BR/>Also, what about immigrants who contributed just as much, if not more, to the country?<BR/><BR/>I only have one example in mind, at the moment, and that is the late Tan Sri Loh Boon Siew.<BR/><BR/>He imported Honda bikes which led to the creation of the first automotive assembly plant in the country - Mak Mandin, for the bikes. Later, he imported Honda cars, which were then assembled here. (Now Honda cars are taken care of by Honda M'sia Sdn Bhd).<BR/><BR/>Because of 'Boon Siew Honda', thousands of jobs were created for the local morons since the 1960s and shitload of taxes earned by the Government (a.k.a. Super Moron).<BR/><BR/>Other parties that were created and/or prospered by it include bike workshops, spare parts industry, accessories industry, tyre industry, fuel and oils industry, bla, bla, bla... so many lahh...<BR/><BR/>And that's just the automotive side of the man and his family's business empire.<BR/><BR/>Just an idea of mine...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-39041559805970271682007-05-28T10:54:00.000+08:002007-05-28T10:54:00.000+08:00i agree with neurolept lah. in perak, u will find ...i agree with neurolept lah. <BR/><BR/>in perak, u will find this practised widely. for those who know ipoh like the back of their hands, u'll remember tiger lane, kampar road and gopeng road. well they are now jalan sultan azlan shah, jalan raja permaisuri tuanku bainun and jalan raja dr nazrin shah. all in the family, eh. <BR/><BR/>and then let's not forget the ipoh airport (sultan azlan shah airport) and all the new bridges between kuala kangsar and gerik and community/private colleges. semua atas nama orang orang bergelar kerabat diraja. <BR/><BR/>can't we just revert to their old names? or even if the authorities don't want anymore of the roads with british names, at least name them after famous local personality or event or food or produce or place. not obscure rulers.<BR/><BR/>funny sense of historical humour this perak govt has: the two roads parallel to the birch tower near the ipoh high court and the state mosque are named jalan maharajalela and jalan dato sagor... really intriguinglah their sense of cynicism. might as well just demolish the clock tower meh.

So did people in LA. The international terminal in LAX is called Tom Bradley International, named after their first black Mayor.<BR/><BR/>A lot of airports are name after war heroes. Logan Airport in Boston is named after Gen. E. L. Logan, a veteran of the Spanish-American War. Chicago O'Hare is named after a WWII ace, Lt. Cdr. Edward "Butch" O'Hare. <BR/><BR/>Dulles Airport in Washington D.C. was named after the CIA Director during President Dwight D. Eisenhower's time, Allen Dulles. Dulles was sacked in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated a year later in Dallas. The main airport in Queens, NY is called JFK.<BR/><BR/>What is most interesting is the McCarran Airport in Las Vegas.

The airport at Bayan Lepas is planned for some other development as it is sitting on valuable land. A very strong arqument for this move is that the airport will be close to Kepala Batas. If this happens it will be the fatal end for Penang.
