Indonesians may not know it, but they have going for themselves a most comprehensive secret language, which defeats all foreigners on arrival, and which is a never-ending struggle for us old-timers to keep up with. I refer to acronyms and abbreviated\/truncated words. You cannot avoid them; they appear in the English press, TV and in everyday conversations (Bahasa Indonesia and English). Take for example The Jakarta Post of Dec. 10, 1998 edition, page 2 and page 3 only.",

KOMNAS, BSD, STMIK, ABAABI, FORBES,<br>\nFORKOT, PDI, ABRI, DPR, MPR, PGI and IAIN. Most are explained<br>\n(once), but others are not; I admit the majority of those are not<br>\nin common use, but there they are.<\/p>\n<p>But where do you live and work? In a rukan or ruko perhaps,<br>\nsited on a Jl. or Gg. where you must report to the RT\/RW. You<br>\nhave a SATPAM at your gate, arranged by POLDA. There is a notice<br>\non your door telling you to follow K-5, and all of us are bound<br>\nto P-7. What about P-3, K-3? You turn on TV (RCTI, SCTV, ANteve,<br>\nTPI, TVRI) and the subtitles tells you that the Wapres met with<br>\nthe Menlu and Mendagri at a parade near Monas in the DKI.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not already tied up with that lot suddenly new<br>\nwords appear out of the blue, and spread like wildfire like<br>\nkrismon, Mobnas and sembako. There are many others and will be<br>\nmore.<\/p>\n<p>I am not saying it is bad to have all these acronyms, but it<br>\nwould be nice if there was a dictionary to cope with them. I'd<br>\nlike one for my next HUT.<\/p>\n<p>D.C. SEAGROVE<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
