Sticky subject

From Surabaya Post

We have become very familiar with stickers recently,
distributed freely by producers, hotels, tourist resorts and
entertainment centers. The election contenders are the latest to
hop on the bandwagon.

Stickers have been plastered on cars and buildings. Car and
building owners have retained the right to reject the stickers.

The stickers usually promote business products. Other stickers
carry messages such as No fund collecting service here, No job
vacancies, or Don't kiss me.

But of more recent interest to the people are the SEA Games
stickers. These stickers are sold on the pretext of funds
shortage. It is true that the Sea Games are tied up with public
interest. As they are held in the interest of the public, the
financial costs related to these events should be budgeted by the
government and the regional administration.

In this way, the government would be better prepared to deal
with public events.

Forced sticker sales are like instant levies which are a
nuisance to many parties.
