He exemplified one of the programs from Cirebon Regency called "Sipepek". This is an acronym for Social Welfare Service Administration Information System. In the Javanese language in Cirebon, the word "pepek" means "complete". However, in Indonesian, the word refers to the term for female genitalia. According to Edi, local governments should be able to assess whether the abbreviation of the program is appropriate or not according to prevailing norms in society.

"Although actually it is not necessary because local governments can use their own discretion in creating abbreviations."

Local governments do not need to feel ashamed to fix it and should find a more reasonable abbreviation before relaunching the program. "So if you want to create an abbreviation, especially for government programs, it is better to use reasonable ones, not just abbreviating it for the sake of easy remembrance," he added.
