Sultan launches poster campaign

YOGYAKARTA: Sultan Hamengkubuwono X launched on Sunday posters
of Wakil Rakyat (people's representatives) in a bid to popularize
the province's representatives.

The sultan, who is also the governor of Yogyakarta,
symbolically handed over the posters to the province's mayors and
regents.

Some 25,000 posters are expected to be put up in various
locations.

The posters display the pictures of the six members of the
House of Representatives from Yogyakarta and includes their
contact details -- such as their websites, e-mail, home and
office addresses.

The sultan said the poster launch was a symbolic attempt to
bridge the communication gap between members of the public and
their representatives.

He said the posters will help the public identify their
legislators and how to air their aspirations.(44)
