Indonesia scurries to fix blunder in new campaign

A grammatical error in Indonesia's new 2008 tourism campaign - splashed across aeroplanes and television advertisements - is to be fixed, a tourism ministry official said Wednesday. The new slogan of the "Visit Indonesia 2008" campaign reads: "Celebrating 100 years of nation's awakening." "Nation's", in correct English, should read either "national" or be preceded by a definite article. The awkward phrase is already plastered across the flagship carrier Garuda Indonesia's A330 planes - which were inaugurated by the tourism minister Jero Wacik last week - and appears on websites and in a TV advertisement.
