Trying it on for size<\/p>\n
The government policy and campaign to promote the
\n\"nationalization\" of business establishments in both the public
\nand private sectors has begun to take root. Some private
\nestablishments have already initiated the change in their names
\nin compliance with a truer representation of Bahasa Indonesia,
\nstrengthening a nation bound by a common language. Some have to
\nre-register their businesses in the name of national identity.
\nLet's look at the alternatives some establishments and companies
\nwill have to face when emulating the footsteps of the pioneers of
\nthe 1995 Nationalization Drive.<\/p>\n
The following names may help explain the old, partially
\nwesternized identities. As the companies are now suffering an
\nidentity crisis, they may try the suggested Indonesian names.<\/p>\n
