Summary

Description
English: A letter requesting name change for the Kwee family of Surabaya, dated 27 January 1968. Under Decision of the Presidium no. 127 of 1966, Chinese Indonesians were urged to change their Chinese names to Indonesian-sounding ones. Many chose names which resembled their original Chinese family names. Kwee Hwae Swie and his daughter Kwee Kiong Nio took the family name Suwito, while Kwee's wife Ang Hiem Nio simply went by Wati. Though the presidium's decision has since been withdrawn (I think), very few Chinese Indonesians today use their Chinese names for official purposes.
