  Hiap Huat House now renamed as "Luzerne" (pronounced ''loosen"). 

  Hoe Huat Industrial Building now renamed as "New Century". 

  What's wrong with using dialect names? Why we have to rename to some obscure ang moh names that's hard to pronounce/relate?

  Owner of the building is free to name it as long as they comply with some URA guidelines
