didengungkan

English translation: trumpeted

08:52 Oct 27, 2009
Indonesian to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Government / Politics / governance
Indonesian term or phrase: didengungkan
This is a term that literally means "buzzing," "echo," or "resounding noise." What might be a good English equivalent in this context?

Text is as follows:

Dengan bergabung ke forum itu, kita punya peluang untuk turut menciptakan tata perekonomian dunia yang lebih adil dan seimbang, seperti selalu **didengungkan** oleh pemenang Nobel ekonomi, Joseph E.Stiglitz.

In another sentence, we have:

Tapi perlu dicatat, peluang emas . . . tentu baru bisa diraih jika upaya pemberantasan korupsi yang selalu **didengungkannya** benar-benar ditegakkan.

Deregulation (instead of
reformed regulation as promoted by Stiglitz) was harmful because it even more enhanced
