Kuala Lampur, Jan. 21 -- GEORGE TOWN, Jan 21 - The Penang state government has reassured residents along Jalan Pantai Bersih that it is not considering renaming the main road that fronts the beachfront in Butterworth.

Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the state is not even deliberating on a name change for the main road.

"The committee is only deliberating on a proposal to rename a branch lane off the main road in front of the Thean Hock Keong Temple," he said in a press conference at his office in Komtar.

He said the branch lane does not have its own name and has been using Jalan Pantai Bersih, which led to confusion over the issue of renaming the road.
