I’m here for Langkawi, not Kuala Lumpur!! Get your geography right!

While I’m on holiday in Pulau Langkawi, I’ve decided to take a cable car ride in gunung Mat Cincang, since I missed it the last time I went to Pulau Langkawi. They said that you can get a fine view of Langkawi from up there.

As I entered the Oriental Village, I was suprised by what I saw. What the heck with that signboard?

I mean what the heck with Jalan Dang Wangi signboard (complete with postcode) doing in the middle of Pulau Langkawi? Am I in federal territory now? Is Malaysian govt is too ashamed to admit this tourist attraction is in Langkawi?

Who’s the wise guy that came out with this idea of putting misleading signboard anyway? For starters, this place doesn’t look like Jalan Dang Wangi in Kuala Lumpur at all! I don’t know about you, but if I’m a Langkawi resident, I’d surely be deeply insulted by now.

Before you argue with me that the signboard is cool, save it. It isn’t cool to a tourist. I know that first hand because I’m a tourist myself, it’s misleading and it shows that Langkawi does not deserve such place so that the management had to put a fake signboard to make people felt they are someplace else. What’s wrong by putting the right signboard? At least people will remember it in their *cough* *cough* photographs.

Langkawi is a nice place, shame that some people doesn’t want to label themselves as being Langkawians.
