NS Jonker Street


So in the past few years, NS has been growing and developing in ways it should have years before that. And the progress, I dare say, is a great move towards improving this township. Right now Seremban is becoming more of an actual town/small city.

We've had better roads, town decorations and lightings, highlights on tourist spots, major hypermarts and hotspots, improvement in the govt depts, etc. It's a good thing.

One of the latest thing this town has seen (well kinda) is the formal introduction to our Singapore Street. Now being introduced as the "NS Jonker Street". The only similarity is the ancient buildings though. (see picture below)



Picture was taken a week before the Mid-Autumn Festival where a stage and DJ was present for some happening event which I never attended. Stalls are just beginning to be set up. It was 5+pm. The banner hanging high in the sky introduces Singapore street as NS Jonker Street.

Seremban has been know for being a copycat. Be it private business (you see a lot of imitation company names and brands around to curi business), or things like this. We're not particularly original with ideas here. Like Seremban 2 and 3, the many Cambridge English around, and what have you. But then again, my dad says, it's a small town thing.
