Instead, in its place is a sleepy Malay reserve land dotted by brick houses and small lanes.

Even long-time residents in the area are surprised when they are told that the road they are on was a racially charged swear word referring to the Indian community.

“I’ve lived here for 13 years, but no, I’ve never heard of such a road,” said Aila Rosli, 36.

Another resident, Rosli, told FMT that he was born and raised in the area.

He too was taken aback when the name of the street was mentioned.

“No, I’ve never heard the name,” was his quick reply.

But Intan Suhana, a resident of 15 years, is aware of the name given to her neighbourhood, having discovered about it two years ago through Google Maps.

“When I shared my house’s location with relatives and friends, they asked me if that’s the right location,” the housewife said with a giggle.

The closest road connecting this fictional road is Jalan Rezab Buang.

When contacted, a spokesman for the Shah Alam Municipal Council (MBSA) said he himself had visited the area but had never seen a road sign with such a name.

“It doesn’t exist. I don’t know how the name is on Google when it doesn’t even exist,” said MBSA corporate communications head Shahrin Ahmad.

He said there was no way such a name would have been approved by the authorities.

“It’s not like we didn’t go to school. We know what is sensitive and what is not.”
