Reform stickers sell well

SEMARANG, Central Java: One of the hottest selling items in the city here are stickers expressing support for the reform movement.

Small traders in the provincial capital have taken advantage of the reform hysteria by printing stickers carrying various reform slogans.

Vendors said they could sell between 200 to 300 stickers a day at between Rp 2,500 and Rp 3,000 each.

"Last month, we could sell only about 50 stickers at a price of Rp 1,000 a piece. But now, my sales turnover has increased drastically," 34-year-old Nurhadi, a sticker vendor in the city, said here yesterday.

Antara reported yesterday that the main targets for sticker sales were students and the owners of buses, cars and motorcycles.

"The stickers sell well because of the growing demand for comprehensive reform in all fields," Antara quoted a buyer as saying. (rms)
