An Indonesian couple couldn’t get a birth certificate for their 3-year-old son because they gave him a name that was too long:
Rangga Madhipa Sutra Jiwa Cordosega Akre Askhala Mughal Ilkhanat Akbar Sahara Pi-Thariq Ziyad Syaifudin Quthuz Khoshala Sura Talenta.
According to Detik, local officials and registrars in East Java didn’t grant them a birth certificate because his name didn’t fit the paper as it was too long.
The child’s father, Arif, said that the name has relations to the long history of Islamic civilization and that it has philosophical meanings.
He said that he hoped that his son would grow to become a “global figure”.
According to Kompas, the couple then wrote straight to President Jokowi, appealing to him for help in giving their son a birth certificate.

“We are regulars at Swee Heng Bakery at Haig Road. However, our recent visit to buy French loaf and peanut butter waffle. Just got home and total disappointed and appalled at the amount of peanut butter that was spread on waffle!!! $1.70 but there was hardly any peanut butter on it!!!
If I buy from Prima Deli at Singpost there is a fair amount of the Peanut Butter. Will not buy again from them!! Totally boycott!!! It’s cheating customers!!! On top of this the lady who served my mum the waffle was rude as well when she chased her out to stand outside. Quote:”不要站在那边！ 人家要走。” unquote。
she could have been more polite to her an elderly aunty by saying : 对不起阿姨，通道狭窄，请站在外面等好吗？谢谢你。Not shouting and telling her don’t stand there cos you are blocking the passage way. She is not deaf!! And then serve us the peanut butter so little. It’s $1.70 not $1.40!!!
Why do you need to be so stingy with filling?? Hardly spread on the waffle! Utterly spoilt our day and mood!!! No more buying form Swee Heng bakery at Haig road!!!!“
FYI, pregnancy test kits are easily accessible nowadays. However, my friend had a horrible nightmare dating this girl because her whole family created multiple Instagram accounts and spam calls and text him every day due to a pregnancy scare which neither of them agree to get a pregnancy test kit.
Please read on, the story is long ahead. Like how usual a relationship goes, s*x comes as part of it for most people. Being the responsible one, my friend rejected his ex GF at first as he did not bring a condom. But the girl begged and begged him to, he gave in after multiple threats and guilt-tripping done by the girl.
It was a consensual act. So as we all know how the story goes, the girl got paranoid and was worried she may get pregnant because it was near her period date and she thought she got pregnant.
Seeking advice from medium
She also did not want to get a pregnancy test kit. Out of insanity, she told her mum and aunt and the duo dragged her to a gynaecologist ae for a checkup. Tada, the next day her period came. It got even crazier when the trio decided to march down to a temple and sought help from a scamming medium, the medium mention that if my friend’s ex GF did not spill the beans, she may have gotten pregnant and the?????
Logic has left the chat here. The torment did not end here. My friend decided to end it because the medium was the last straw in him. The trio spams text and call him every day, create multiple Instagram account and even hacked into his Instagram account because he tried to cut off contacts.
They blame it all on him, lament that he is selfish and did not think about the girl as she has a bright future ahead. He had many mental breakdowns and sleepless nights. But alas it quietened down lately but we are still unsure when the trio will strike again.
So men beware who you date…. I’m glad my friend dodged a ginormous bullet.
Why is there such a creature called mother in law. Can they dont exist, become extinct or whatever. Mine is the most unreasonable, ridiculous, old fashioned everrrrrrrrr.
My baby is already 2wks old & now then she said want to change his name!!!??? Birth cert printed already. How to change? She said to remove the english name & the chinese name must go through fortune teller. Why never consult her? Hello we are the parents not you. Old fashioned dinosaur woman!!
I dk how to face her & dun wana face her. She’s making my confinement miserable. Hate her! Why cant she just go away.
The baby dono is i give birth or she give birth, if she want a child of her name she should go make another one of her own.
