    Hi,

    In Malaysia, in the Malay language, the adjective comes after the noun.

    For example:

    "King Street" will literally become "Street King" in the Malay language.

    So, when we are looking at the map and instructions in Waze, the actual name of the road is hidden when it is truncated.

    For example

    Lebuhraya Persekutuan where "Lebuhraya" is "Highway" and "Persekutuan" is the "name", when we view in our phones, we can only see "Lebuhraya" plus maybe a bit of Persekutuan. Most of the times, the name does not appear at all. That is not very helpful.

    Please consider changing the arrangement to be Name-Description e.g.

    Persekutuan, Lebuhraya (instead of the official name Lebuhraya Persekutuan)
    Sultan Ismail, Jalan (instead of the official name Jalan Sultan Ismail)
    Parlimen, Jalan (instead of the official name Jalan Parlimen)
    MEX, Lebuhraya (instead of the official name Lebuhraya MEX)
    Mergastua, Persiaran (instead of the official name Persiaran Mergastua)

    (the comma is optional).
