Course on language use in billboards

In a bid to familiarize a ruling on the use of proper
Indonesian language in billboards and banners, the directorate of
Socio-Political Affairs Office of the Jakarta administration will
conduct a three-day training for the management of hotels,
restaurants, department stores and notaries.

Soesila Darmoadji, a City Hall spokesman, said yesterday that
under the 1992 regulation anyone or agency who wants to put up
billboards or notice boards in public places should use correct
and good Indonesian language.

The regulation also applies to the writing of messages in
pamphlets, brochures and banners.

The training will be held between Aug. 24 and Aug. 26 at Hotel
Wisata Indonesia, Central Jakarta.

"No fee is collected from participants," said Soesila
Darmoadji. (09)
