Bojonegoro demands Indonesian names

BOJONEGORO, East Java: Regent Imam Supardi threatened yesterday to close down establishments which still use foreign names.

"I am giving one month to shops and entertainment centers to change their foreign names. If they don't then their licenses will be revoked," said Imam as quoted by Antara.

The regency plans to list the names of various establishments still using foreign names such as "Supermarket Bravo".

"If they can do it in Surabaya why can't we do it in Bojonegoro?" he demanded. (mds)
