U r definitely rite. In malaysia, granting city status is primary drived by political moves rather than fulfilling all the criterias set by the ministry. hno:1st Alor Star n now KT. Wat's next, mayb kangar? City status is like nothing in Malaysia.
As mentioned in the news, Alor Star and KT has not met one of the criteria but AS and KT was and will b granted the city status. U r so rite that it must have something to do with politic. Don forget BN almost lost Kedah to PAS few years ago and BN got back Terengganu from PAS some years ago.U r definitely rite. In malaysia, granting city status is primary drived by political moves rather than fulfilling all the criterias set by the ministry. hno:
Next to come? Tanjung Rambutan.. Bandaraya Berakhlak?" Whatever issit.. Get used to it, mates. :fiddle:
