Batam (ANTARA News) - The governemnt has named 1014 out of 1050 isles in the province of Riau Islands in Sumatra that still had no names.

“The names would make them easy to detect and prevent them from being illegally sold,” the province`s second assistant for administrative affairs, Muhkhtaruddin, said here on Thursday.
