Salam kak puteri
Tengok tu, sesetengah tu lain macam bunyinya ! Di kalangan orang barat, nama-nama macam tu tak jadi masalah. Tetapi kalau kalangan kita, heboh semacam nanti ! Betul juga, kerana agama kitapun suruh pilih nama yang baik-baik.

Saje nak kongsi di sini. Ini ada beberapa contoh nama tempat di barat - PENISTONE dan ANUS. Di Selangor, Batang Berjuntai sudah ditukar kpd nama baru. LF terlupa nama barunya !

Very funny, Puteri. One must be careful when reading something and must not jump to conclusion too fast!

LF - Betul tuh. In the West, they hv scant respect for such things, kita fikir banyak kali sebelum menamakan sesuatu. Batang Berjuntai dah ditukar jadi Bistari Jaya kalau tak silap... hehehe..

Cat - that's the trouble with someone with too much time on her hands.. :-P

Pp - some names should be retained for its historical value. Saya suka nama Tanjung Keling dan Kapitan Keling, tapi PCB tu patutler tukar.. sexy mexy sangat.. lol

Nana - very true. and I like Pen Island very much..hehehehe..
