Hi, was looking through some of the alt names, and was wondering if the following alt names can be removed for inaccuracy?

"Baru" and "Bahru" for "Johor Bahru" (1732752) - Baru/Bahru is "New" in Malay, which means New Town, calling it Baru makes no sense
"Thai" for "Alor Setar" - no known reference for such an alternate name
"City West" for "Tanglin" - again, no known reference, I would much rather include historical names like "Tang Leng" or "Great east hill peaks" according to their national library board
"Admiralty Station" for "Admiralty" - its a town, not a station
