Jargon of Pekanbaru

In this era,every city has the jargon.Jargon is one of identity for its city or area.But,in Pekanbaru changes the jargon still happen pro and contra between Pekanbaru kota Bertuah and Pekanbaru kota Madani.

Some people think that no problem if the jargon of Pekanbaru changes be Madani because,that only the name for Pekanbaru.And Madani is good name too for Pekanbaru.And naming of Madani will not bad impact to the creativities,idea,and anything because this is common thing.

However others disagree.They claim that jargon not only the name that give for a city,but the jargon must be accountable.If Pekanbaru kota Bertuah changes be Pekanbaru kota Madani,it will be difficult for accountable,because the fact,according data in Pekanbaru,the highest case in Pekanbaru is drugs and sexual harassment.Pekanbaru must clean from immoral if want to change the jargon be Madani.

I think,Pekanbaru kota Bertuah and Pekanbaru kota Madani are good names for Pekanbaru.We must only accountable the name that has given.And this jargon will be pray for Pekanbaru to be better and more advanced in its goals.
