Can Minden Heights be renamed Bukit Janaton?

Prof Dr Ahmad Murad Merican (pic above) said Minden, where USM's main campus is located was known as Bukit Datuk Janaton as the chieftain used to live here on the hill.

Minden was previously a British Army Camp built on undulating grounds of the hills in the early 1930s.

Prof Ahmad Murad, himself a descendant of Datuk Janaton, is the Perdana Leadership Foundation Honorary President Resident Fellow.

He was speaking on the 224th anniversary of the landing of English Captain Francis Light in Penang Island (circa 1786) at USM's Balai Media C10 yesterday.
