My name is misspelled

With regard to a page 1 article in the Sunday, Aug. 15, edition of The Jakarta Post, titled Mega honors leading nationals, I would like to express my disappointment over the error made in the spelling of my name.

As one of the recipients of the Bintang Mahaputra Utama award -- the country's second-highest state medal, in the eighth paragraph of the article, my name is printed as Winarsih Soedarbo, whereas it should have in fact been written Minarsih Soedarpo Sastrosatomo.

I would urge the Post to be more careful in dealing with people's names so as not to cause unnecessary inconvenience to the person concerned.

MINARSIH SOEDARPO SASTROSATOMO

Jakarta

Note: We apologize for the error.
