Kulture Kid

What does ‘manja’ mean? When I was first living in a rented room in Balinese compound around 22 years ago, I kept hearing the word being used by family members. It was most often used to refer to young kids who are attached to a particular family member, most often their mum or one of the grandparents. It was also used to refer to kids who are cry babies, and this is normally because they are too spoiled by their family members. It this sense they are not only

䄀匀倀䤀刀䤀吀唀䄀䰀䔀堀倀䔀刀䤀䔀一䌀䔀䘀伀刀䌀䔀䰀䔀䈀刀䄀吀䤀一䜀一䔀圀夀䔀䄀刀ᤠ匀䔀嘀䔀

called anak manja (spoilt brat) but also are the result of dimanjain (being spoiled). I often hear the word being used to refer to females who in their “girlfriend-boyfriend” (using the heterosexual generalization here) period act very weak and like being doted on: here a girl is called cewek manja. A cewek manja is typically super girly and acts below her age. She will also constantly refer to herself in the third person and be intensely picky about absolutely everything. So if her name is Ayu, she may say, “Ayu nggak suka naik, banyak debu… sakit nanti Ayuuuuu…” They always like to have their boyfriend to themselves and in this sense their manja attitude is about protecting intimacy.

Cowok manja is heard on occasion to mean a ‘mummy’s boy’. So in this context it is more about a sense of attachment. These mummy’s boys also constantly refer to themselves in the first person and they do everything that mummy says: you won’t see these guys out late at night drinking with the bad boys – they’ll be at home helping make the offerings. These guys often take a while to find a jodoh (a partner for life), typically marrying late.

Restaurant Review An American Gastropub! Avenue A is a gastropub. That is a term invented in England to define a Pub that also offered serious food options. In America it has been taken a step further to include a serious look at the drink side as well with exotic cocktails, craft beers, etc.

shortplate brisket, onions and cheddar in a baguette. There is also a house-smoked chicken with red peppers, avocado and spicy mayo on sourdough. All sandwiches come with either seasoned chips or salad and pickles.

Pizzas are big at Avenue A, however they are very different Avenue A has two Happy Hours, from 4.00 to 7.00 and from from those made and sold all over the island as these ones 10.00 to midnight. In between, 7.00 till 10.00 is serious food are prepared New York style using a fermented base which has a bubbling effect and looks thick and heavy but in fact is time, although the full menu is available all day. quite light though a bit chewy, almost a sourdough. The An impressive building it is a modern pub, built for fun! It is Bronx uses rolled and thinly sliced slow-cooked porchetta, the brainchild of Billy Joe, of New York fame.

If you miss the usual red base then either the Novotel, EVO at Sentosa, and most recently at Happy Queens with house-cured pepperoni and mozzarella or the Chappy]. So the foundation of Avenue A’s success is Red Hot Chilli Pepper with smoked chicken will more than definitely found in the kitchen [regional American food with satisfy your cravings. a touch of Italy and Asia], and almost everything [breads, pasta, pizzas, pickles and condiments] is made traditionally Top of the pasta list is their Rigatoni Bolognese, the rich sauce made using oxtail meat, served with grana parmesan. in-house in the old fashioned way, by hand. There is also Gnocchi, with a roasted pumpkin [fennel, sage and brown butter] or the traditional potato [truffle, crisp onions and smoked bacon pieces]. What would an American Gastropub be without a range of burgers? Here there is your choice of beef or chicken. Top of the range is their Wagyu Burger with all of the usual additions [tomato, cheddar, butter lettuce, pickles and red onion]. The other options all have quite unique and different taste combos. As usual you can mix and match with your own choice of add-ons.

The Tacos are the soft variety, just fold them around the ample fillings. I tried both the Fish and Brisket Tacos. The fish was a piece of beer battered fish with green and red tomato salsa, young mango and papaya, whilst the beef brisket [smoked in house] was with lime, avocado, cilantro and sambal, a small fiery touch. Both were excellent. Pokes are raw marinated fish dishes from Hawaii, and here is a Tuna Poke [white soy, .avocado, pomelo, daikon and togarashi powder], clean and refreshing. BBQ Chicken Wings are served in a coriander buttermilk cream.

BOOMER CORNER The End of The Sixties And The Most Important Revolution of The Twentieth Century When you read this article, it is exactly fifty years ago that the sixties had come to an end. Few paid any attention and it took another two decades before the era evoked any serious nostalgia. Remember the sixties? Those were the days when the original baby boomers were teenagers. Following the Second World War there was a temporary marked increase in the birth rate, both in Europe and the United States of America. The first recorded use of the term “baby boomer” is in a January 1963 article in the American publication Daily Press, describing a massive surge of college enrollments approaching as the oldest boomers were coming of age. Yet the Oxford English Dictionary dates the modern meaning of the term to a January 23, 1970, article in The Washington Post and nowadays the accepted definition is that anyone born between 1946 and 1964 is a boomer. The Wikipedia entry for baby boomers splits the generation in two as follows:

of the sixties included Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring and Paul Ehrlich’s The Population Bomb. Many counterculture boomers were early adopters of practices like recycling and organic farming long before these became mainstream. In Western Europe the sixties counterculture movement was strongest in urban centers like London, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, West Berlin, Paris, Rome and Milan.

With an overall length of just over 70 meters and a wingspan of 59, Boeing’s 747 was the first plane to be dubbed a Jumbo Jet and it could fly more people further than any plane before. It could carry up to 550 passengers, nearly four times as many as the 707 from the previous generation.Of course, it took quite a few years before airports all over the world had lengthened their runways and built bigger passenger terminals that could handle the increased numbers of passenger but eventually it led to a revolution in the way the whole world travels and air freightis shipped.

It was in fact the era of the cold war between the capitalist countries of the western world and the communist states in the east. The Cuban crisis had brought the world to the brink of nuclear war in October 1962 and in August 1964 the United States had entered the Vietnam War. In the US it was the epoch of both the anti-war movement and the civil rights movement.

During the sixties a divide in worldview developed between the old and the young that seemed greater than ever before and there was a growing distrust of authority among many who came of age during those years.There was talk of a ‘generation gap’ and this was most evident in rapidly evolving fashion and hairstyle trends that were readily adopted by the young and ridiculed by the old. Young men were sporting long hair and young women started wearing revealing clothing in public. For the older generations the sixties were most certainly a very difficult time. The old were alarmed that the young took an interest in recreational drugs. The young countered that they were exploring a widened area of consciousness. The young openly proclaimed that peace, love and sexual experimentation were more worthy pursuits than entering the rat race. Parents found out their kids had ‘dropped out’ and moved into a commune somewhere far away from the urban centers. The role of women as full-time homemakers in industrial society was challenged in 1963, when Betty Friedan published The Feminine Mystique. Other influential books

This brings me to the most important technological revolution of the twentieth century. When you ask people from the X generation or millennials what they believe to be the greatest advance brought to mankind in the past century, they usually reply it must have been the development of the computer and the mobile phone. I disagree. I do not dare to call it the biggest step forward but the greatest change in our lives came when Boeing brought out the seven-four-seven in 1969. Let me clarify this with a personal anecdote. At one point when I was in New Delhi in early 1968, I walked into the office of KLM Royal Dutch airlines. In my pocket there was very little left of the 250 dollars that I had budgeted for the entire voyage but out of sheer curiosity I wanted to see how much it would cost to fly back home. I found out that the price of a one-way ticket from New Delhi to Amsterdam was six thousand Dutch guilders which at the time was about the price of a Volkswagen Beetle. The reality was very simply that back in those days only the wealthy could afford to fly.

The ‘leading-edge baby boomers’ are individuals born between 1946 and 1955, those who came of age during the Vietnam war era.The other half of the generation, called the ‘late boomers’, was born between 1956 and 1964.While this second batch of boomers may remember watching the first men walking on the moon, they are unlikely to have any memories of the Cuban missile crisis.

So, what was the later nostalgia all about?

was a very long way from Tabriz to Mashhad and the Persian desert tracks were full of holes.

While many young men in the USA were trying to figure out how they could best dodge the draft, across the Atlantic the reality of the cold war was totally different. There was a state of perfect peace all the way between Europe and the Far East. The one country to be avoided was Vietnam but between western Europe and Thailand there were nowhere people busy killing others. There were no bullets whizzing through the air. There were no grenades thrown anywhere nor bombs being detonated. You could travel overland without having to fear for your life. Perhaps I should disclose that I was born in those post-war years and I consider it a privilege that I grew up in an age that the natural environment was not yet contaminated by pollution. Most importantly, I was part of the first generation that had the opportunity to go travel the world. I had read Jack Kerouac and in 1967 I used the thumb of my right-hand to travel overland all the way from Amsterdam to Kathmandu. It took more than a year before I made my way back but during that time on the hippie trail, I learned much more than could possibly have been crammed into four years of University. Traveling overland, or for that matter crossing the ocean on a boat, you become totally aware of the distance that you must cover. On the roof rack of a truck it

My own airline of preference Air Asia proclaims that ‘Now Everyone Can Fly’ and each Sunday Skyscanner sends me a list of suggestions for low cost trips from Denpasar. I just checked. One-way tickets are relatively expensive but Delhi-Amsterdam mid-January would cost USD 385. The price of a very basic Volkswagen Polo in the Netherlands is 17,751 Euro. People who fly around the world have little idea of the distances they cover but I marvel about how my sons use both their thumbs to type a text on their mobile phone at an incredible speed. Welcome to the twenty-twenties.

Beauty & Health The Magic of Water The word “spa” has become so over-used that it’s difficult to determine what a real spa is. You see the word used on small salons, even pet grooming and car washes. Makes you wonder what a real spa is. There are two different accounts of the origin the term “spa”. One traces it back to the town of Spa in Belgium, a site whose healing hot springs have been used to treat illnesses since 1326. An Englishman named William Slingsby, who had visited the Belgium town, discovered a spring in Yorkshire in 1571 and built an enclosed well which became known as Harrogate. This was the first resort in England for drinking medicinal waters. In 1596, Dr. Timothy Bright called the resort “The English Spaw”, and the term has since been used to describe any place having a natural water source with health properties. The other story is that spa is an acronym of the Latin “Sanus Per Aqum”, which translates as ‘heal through water’. During the 18th and 19th centuries, doctors often prescribed spa treatments. The great spas of Europe focused on the therapeutic application of water in settings that were like grand hotels. Most European spas had Trinkhallen, halls for drinking the mineral waters, while other rooms contained baths and steam rooms for treating arthritis, rheumatism, obesity, and over indulgence. Today the term for treatment in heated seawater is known as Thalassotherapy (from the Greek word thalassa, meaning “sea”). It is based on the systematic use of seawater, sea products, and shore climate. The very best Thalasso spa in Bali is the Aquatonic Seawater Therapy Pool located at Thermes Marine Bali Spa at Ayana Resort. It contains 700 million liters of water directly supplied from the underlying Indian Ocean and warmed to optimum temperatures to rebalance mineral deficiencies. Thanks to its floating effects, you are able to effortlessly exercise your way through 12 hydromassage stations containing over 60 individual therapeutic jet streams, micro-bubbles and geysers to rehabilitate injured muscles, to relieve stress and for relaxation. Relief of the symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, back and muscular pain, tension and stress muscle toning, reduction in cellulite, improved metabolism and cardiovascular functioning strengthening of immune system and lymphatic drainage for muscle repair, improved sleep quality and relaxation skin detoxification and nourishment to support anti-aging therapies. Best time of day: Sunset, before an early night and a deep sleep. Recommended either before or after a flight to combat the effects of jetlag, before a manual massage or spa treatment, and after exercise to help lymphatic drainage.

I arrived at 2:30 pm to allow 2 hours in the Aquatonic pool and then go see the sunset in Jimbaran. It takes two hours to complete the circuit of the pool. First I had to fill in a consultation health form before the treatment. Then I was escorted to the luxurious locker room and assigned a locker to store my belongings by a lovely attendant. She handed me a purple batik bathrobe and white sandals to wear. Next destination the pool, which is very large and covered. I was assigned a new locker close to the pool to keep my robe and sandals and given a plastic bracelet with the key attached. A smiling male attendant greeted me and recommended that I take a shower before entering the pool. Ready, I looked over the pool layout. The attendant explained that I enter the pool and turn to the right and walk through a looping circuit with strong water current. As I walked through the channel, I discovered there were stones on the bottom in some places. The current was very strong, making me work hard to trudge through the water. This was to get my blood flowing. It was more difficult than it looked. After this I was instructed to swim to the other side of the pool and swim around the side to where the water jet stalls were located. Being a regular swimmer it was a challenge swimming against the current to reach my goal. I felt my strength beginning to wane just before I got to the end. Exercise was over now. Let the massage begin. There were several stalls that I had to back my body into and spread my legs to feel the water jets pummel my lower legs. It was suggested spending two minutes at each station. There’s a digital clock overlooking the pool to monitor your time. As I moved into each station the jets were located higher until my legs were thoroughly pummeled. Next swim to the opposite side of the pool and sit at stations with jets to massage the lower back. There were 10 of these

stations with the jets working on different muscles of the lower back. Next I moved to two stations standing up with very powerful jets to pummel my upper back and shoulders. After standing on jets that were strong enough to lift my body and felt very good on the feet, I maneuvered towards the swans with rushing water coming out of the mouths. Standing under one of these really worked on the upper shoulders and neck muscles. After the deep muscle massage on the entire body there’s a row of lounge beds with gentle jets to relax and look out at the Indian Ocean. After this I headed to the round sunset bubble pool with 21 single jets to massage the feet and up the upper thighs. Then enter the centre bubble bath to relax like a Jacuzzi. The final area was in the middle of the large pool which was heated to 38 degrees with multiple jets on the left side and a large Jacuzzi on the right. After two hours of everything I felt like a wet noodle. My mind, body and soul were completely relaxed. After emerging from the pool I was offered a cup of hot ginger tea and some fresh fruit to refresh me. Taking a few minutes to relish the tranquility I felt in this incredible place, I looked out at the pool where I had spent the past two hours enjoying. In my humble opinion I would rate this fantastic water treatment as the best in Bali. This is an experience not to be missed in Bali. Thermes Marine Bali Spa at AYANA Resort Jl.

GREENSPEAK Magical Wood Back in the mists of time, life was simple for us Homo sapiens. Undistracted by poorly behaved politicians or macro-economics, our concerns were confined to food, shelter, warmth and safety. For these we relied on the natural world, with which we had deep awareness and connection.

when planted near a doorway, will repel undesirable tenants who are unwilling to move. Dewadaru, a very rare wood, is believed to repel wild animals and snakes, heal venomous snake bites and maintain safety. This wood should not be taken on boats, as it may attract typhoons.

Millennia ago, vast forests covered much of Europe, Asia and Africa. These must have seemed dark and dangerous places to early humans and yet the trees provided materials and fuel on which they depended. It’s not surprising that powerful belief systems rose up around trees, which were widely recognized as magical beings of power. Individual trees or whole groves were considered to be divine in themselves, or to house divine spirits.

People who practice black magic will lose their powers when beaten with Moringa tree branches. The leaves of the Sulastri tree will reconcile argumentative spouses. A house which is haunted or inhabited by many nuisance animals such as rats, snakes or centipedes can be cleared with a bunch of palm sugar sticks and burning tamarind leaves.

Without artificial sound or light, early humans may have been sensitive to subtle activity within the forest. We now know that trees communicate with each other. According to an article in the Smithsonian Magazine last year, “There is now a substantial body of scientific evidence that shows trees of the same species are communal, and will often form alliances with trees of other species. Forest trees have evolved to live in cooperative, interdependent relationships, maintained by communication and a collective intelligence similar to an insect colony. These soaring columns of living wood draw the eye upward to their outspreading crowns, but the real action is taking place underground, just a few inches below our feet.” Early humans, with survival senses much more acute than ours, may have been aware of this. Anthropolgist James Fraser in his classic ‘The Golden Bough’ explores the relationship between many early northern cultures and trees. The Druids worshipped oak trees. Sacred groves were common among the ancient Germans. Sweden had a sacred grove in which every tree was regarded as divine. The Slavs worshipped trees and groves and the Lithuanians worshiped trees until they were converted to Christianity at the end of the 14th century. Proofs of the prevalence of tree-worship in ancient Greece and Italy are abundant. Plato wrote in his Phaedrus that the “first prophecies were the words of an oak”.

I became interested in magical wood after my friend Bayu brought me a length of kemenjar from his conservation project in Kalimantan to use as a walking stick (tongkat). He told me that the local people, if they have to stay in the forest overnight, will cut a few pieces of kemenjar and place them around their sleeping place to keep forest spirits away. He also told me about kaswa, which apparently only grows in Batu Karu. The wood from this shrub is believed to deter snakes, to neutralise snake venom and repel black magic. I’ve asked for a small piece of this useful wood which will become the handle of the kemenjar walking stick; that will be one powerful tongkat. Coffee, kapok, minging, sentigi and tamarind wood also have positive properties for walking sticks. I’m not troubled by ghosts but anti-snake wood would be handy; it’s Serpent Central around here, especially in the rainy season. I’ve asked some Balinese friends to find me some kaswa saplings for my garden. Tongkat tolak ular - the perfect monsoon gift.

Before the evolution of organized religion, people relied on shamans to journey between the human, natural and spirit worlds to keep balance and health in the community. Evidence of shamanic practice is found in many parts of the world and goes back at least 30,000 years. I’m fascinated that although rituals differ, core practices were shared by shamans in Europe, Asia, Tibet, North and South America and Africa. And here wood also plays a role. Shamanic practices often included ritual articles made of carefully selected wood such as drum frames and beaters, masks, staffs, bowls and totem poles. Special woods were burned to create sacred smoke (as they are still here in Bali, in the making of holy water). Fraser’s studies of tree worship did not extend to Indonesia, but there is quite a lot of literature and anecdotal data on the subject. Certain trees are widely believed to have magical powers, and to have gender; some are considered ‘hot’ and thus not suitable for use by people with bad tempers. A magical wood from Borneo is Agathis Borneensis, also known as Raja Kayu, Dragon’s Blood Wood, and Saint Wood. The indigenous people have used it traditionally, respectfully taking only a few branches so the trunk can continue to grow. As Raja Kayu, it’s believed to be a powerful protection against negativity. As Saint Wood, it’s used by monks in prayer beads and aids them on their spiritual path. As Dragon’s Blood Wood, it glows red when a light shines through it, giving it a mystical quality. The Balinese believe that black magic practitioners live in male papaya trees (gedang renteng). The worst energy is generated when a papaya is planted so close to a moringa tree that their roots touch. He advises not to grow papayas or bananas at home, just in case. Almost all sacred and performance masks in Bali are carved from Pule wood (Alstonia augustifolia), which is light and easily carved and often grows in cemeteries. When a Pule tree has a visible knot it is considered pregnant and the knot is suitable to become a sacred mask (removing the knot doesn’t harm the tree). A committee goes to the village where the tree grows to ask permission to use the wood with the knot, and pay for a ceremony in which the priest makes a token cut in the wood. The master carver then removes the knot from the tree and takes it home where it’s blessed by a priest on arrival. The wood will season for six months before the priest names an auspicious day for the carving to begin. The Javanese have a long tradition respecting certain types of wood for having supernatural powers. The power might be related to the fact that it comes from a sacred place, its rarity or because it has special properties that other woods don’t have. Harvesting it often requires special prayers and offerings. Here is a short list of some magical woods from Java. A few tamarind seeds, placed in car or motorbike headlights, prevent traffic accidents caused by spirits. Bambu Apus Pringgolayan,

Cultural Getaways at Lunar New Year Want to take a break from Bali during Lunar New Year? Friday, 24 January 2020 kicks off the festive Lunar New Year season, when Bali gets an influx of expats & citizens from countries like Taiwan, China, and Hong Kong. If you’d like to use this crowded and wet time to get out of town, here are some great regional art and culture options to enjoy off-island. Sydney. SYDFEST 2020 is happening, and one of the offerings is a show of recent works by Jumaadi, arguably the hottest contemporary Indonesian artist today. My Love is in an Island Far Away is his spectacular visual riff on historical injustices between Indonesia and Australia, with more than a nod to the important 1946 poem Cintaku Jauh di Pulau, by Chairil Anwar. Mosman Gallery is the place, and Jumaadi’s epic mixed media show runs until Sunday February 9, 2020. mosmanartgallery.org.au Love shadow puppetry? So does Jumaadi. Twice a day at Mosman, January 22-24, his Island of Shadow performance will be the artist’s realization of this sacred art form, in narratives of Indonesia’s power struggles of the 20th century.

The sixth Singapore Biennale is on now, ending 22 March. Over 70 regional artists and collectives have installed bold artworks and environments, with plenty of activities and exhibitions. Set to the theme Every Step in the Right Direction, 10 participating venues feature art, performances, talks and workshops. singaporebiennale.org *** January and February could be your time to visit Sumba, the island of deserted beaches, horses, and breathtaking beauty, a flight of less than 2 hours from Denpasar. This will be the season for Pasola, a colorful if violent jousting ritual of expert horsemen riding the island’s famous ponies. Reputable travel companies are advertising affordably priced tours online, and, for all but the most intrepid traveler, such agencies are a necessary buffer against the island’s poor infrastructure. In western Sumba, centered around the small city of Waikabubak, you can take in the Pasola, traditional villages and an archaeological site, and shop for extraordinary textiles. A traveler with several extra days can always include a foray to the eastern end, seeking the amazing Waimarang waterfall and still more breathtaking beaches. ***

If Sydney’s too far for you, an exhibition of Jumaadi’s tender and delightfully personal work is also featured in House of Shadow, in Bowen Hills near Brisbane at the Artisan Main Gallery, Tuesday through Saturday, ends 8 February. artisan. org.au

Malaysia and Singapore, any place with a sizeable Tamil population, will have rituals and parades for Thaipusam, right on February 8 and 9; some Hindu holy places may extend observances to 10 Feb. Devotees’ displays of elaborate skin piercings are not for the squeamish, but those who’ve seen the festival often report deeply spiritual effects. The weighted hooks and long metal spikes through devotees’ skin, as acts of penance, are amazingly public, and photography is not frowned upon. Atmosphere is enhanced by chanting supporters and escorts of these men whose skin will haul elaborate carts, or who bear enormous kavadi structures of metal rods, all in all an extraordinary religious event. Selangor’s Batu Caves or Penang’s Waterfall Temple are sites worth considering, if choosing Malaysia for Thaipusam, and the weather in Penang is unbeatable at that time of year,

with Selangor also in its dry-er season. Equally dry Singapore offers a Thaipusam procession of the devoted going a whopping 4.5 kilometres from Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple to Sri Thendayuthapani Temple. Details at wonderfulmalaysia. com/malaysia-thaipusam-hindu-festival.htm & visitsingapore.com *** Cambodia is a great cultural option for a budget vacation, and it bears mentioning that jaded Bali expats will be floored by the low prices of premium alcoholic beverages there. Mala’s tip is to hire a car in Phnom Penh to drive you three hours down to the lovely, laid-back river town of Kampot, for the January 24 – 26 Folk Art & Blues Festival at the newly inaugurated Fish Island Community Arts Centre. Expect diverse lineups of roots musicians (from Cambodia to Jamaica and plenty in between) and friendly festival-goers. Great excuse to enjoy Kampot’s charming hotel and restaurant scene. Dry and balmy that time of year. Tacking on bucket-list Angkor requires a flight from Phnom Penh. *** Art book of the month: Bali’s diligent art maven Richard Horstman has released his Ubud Diary: Celebrating the Ubud School of Painting: The Diversity of Visual Language through the Ubud Diary Gallery, a wonder worth visiting right here at home. Graced with beautiful cover art by Wayan Sudana, Horstman’s seriously researched bilingual book champions a fast disappearing genre and its sophisticated style. Warning: readers may develop a more savvy eye for Balinese painting. Available at the Ubud Diary Gallery, 550 A.A. Gede Rai, Lodtunduh. ubuddiary.com and 0361 9082636

The Bali Water Crisis On December 2nd Al Jazeera published an International story that caught my eye “Bali: The tropical Indonesian island that is running out of water.” It talked of how, for hundreds of years, Bali has used the Subak system to share water, a system that harnesses and distributes water making use of it many times before it finally reaches the sea. It went on to talk about how things have changed and that these days 60% of water is diverted to densely populated urban areas, in addition hotels are pumping their water tables dry to supply the ever increasing demand from tourists. This year has been very hot and, with an extended drought, things are worse than ever, 260 of Bali’s 400 rivers have run dry, groundwater levels are falling, springs are drying up, seawater intrusion is reaching many kilometres inland making wells salty, farmers are having to buy water and rice fields are disappearing. Bali is in crisis. Vibeke Lengkong of “I’m an Angel,” a local charity that provides water aid to villages in drought-stricken parts of Bali estimates that the average tourist uses an unbelievable 2,000 to 4,000 litres of water a day and the main culprits here are the hotels, luxury resorts and villas who use copious amounts of water on gardens, swimming pools and golf courses in addition to the personal needs of their guests. That is a lot of water and, just to put it into perspective, an average person in their daily life can expect to use around 150 litres of water a day, in Australia (the world’s heaviest user of water per capita) this increases to around 200 to 300 litres per day. If you wish to calculate your daily use you can go to our water usage calculator here https:// www.mrfixitbali.com/water/water-usage-bills-andcharges/water-usage-calculator.html Let us go back to some basics so everyone can understand the problem we are all facing.

In the ground below our feet there is water and, rather like a lake or the sea, it has a surface. This surface is known as the water table. Its depth below the surface of the ground is dependent on many factors such as the topography of the ground, the nature of the earth (particularly its porosity), the heat of the sun, the vegetation cover and the sea level. Here in Bali the water table rises during the wet season then falls through the dry season. We are now at the end of the dry season, the water table is low and, for many, wells are starting to dry up. The situation is not improved by the progressive installation across Bali of better street drainage and sewerage systems which collect our rain and waste water and carries it quickly and efficiently straight to the sea before it can soak into the ground. Good drainage is disastrous for water tables. So what can we all do to ease the water crisis. 1. The single most effective thing you can do is to install a “recharge well” (also called a “soak pit” or “resapan” in Indonesian). You can get more details here: https:// www.mrfixitbali.com/septic-sewage-and-wastewater/ water-catchment-soak-pit-215.html. Basically it is a reverse well, you dig a hole 3 metres deep, you line it with concrete rings and put a top on it. You then direct all your rainwater, grey water and the backwash water from pool and house water filtration systems into it so it can soak into the ground. 2. We can stop that strange habit that makes people want to water the road to keep the dust down. After ten minutes of wasting water, it has all evaporated and the road is dusty again. 3. Make sure we have dual flush toilets and are using them correctly. 4. Make sure we have efficient shower heads and keep showers short. 5. Use a front loading washing machine. 6. Don’t leave the tap running when shaving or cleaning teeth. 7. Repair dripping taps and running toilets.

8. Recycle grey water (from showers, washing machines, washbasins and sinks) and use it to flush toilets and water the garden. 9. Plant trees to reduce ground temperatures and lower the level of evaporation from the soil. 10. Harvest rainwater by installing large water storage tanks under houses to collect and save runoff from roofs. Any overflow from storage tanks should go into the recharge well. There was a time not that long ago when all houses on the Bukit had concrete rainwater tanks. 11. Keep watering the garden to a minimum and only in the evening or early morning when it is cooler to reduce evaporation rates. 12. Avoid excessively large swimming pools. Discharge swimming pool backwash water into the recharge well. 13. Check to see if that fancy water purification system is not using too much backwash water and make sure that the backwash water is not going into the drains. Send it to the recharge well. 14. And lastly, take the time to educate the people around you, particularly the local people, about saving water. The IDEP Foundation have been working with local organisations to tackle the water crisis in Bali, they are educating people about water conservation and organising the installation of large scale recharge wells.

R O TA R Y NEWS The Real Heroes of Bali in 2020 Having been a Rotarian with the Rotary Club of Bali Seminyak for over 18 years, I have witnessed many miraculous community service projects, which generated almost USD 1 million from the Rotary Foundation Grants, District Grants, the Direct Aid Program (DAP) from the Australian Consulate General and many generous individual contributions from its members and friends. Projects are the root of Rotary, especially with the circumstance of Indonesia being a recipient country. The social status of being a Rotarian in the community is maybe not as important here, as in some Western countries. Whereas, here, it is all about service projects. Among the 17 Rotary Clubs in Bali, expats and Indonesians work together within a country of needed aid with projects, which are unending and right in front of our eyes, in our daily lives.

recycled and upcycled on site. His dedication to educating and promoting women to learn skills for jobs included a 6-month scholarship program with an onsite dormitory for training young local women from poor families for job placement through a program called Bali Wise. The Rotary Club of Bali Seminyak and the Rotary Club of Nusa Dua were able to furnish Mike with a bus to transport the women from the villages to the training programs and a truck for his bigger projects for recycling waste. We salute Mike and ROLE wishing continued sustainability of his projects to be carried on with his devoted team at ROLE, at the helm. • Mary Northmore-Aziz, Founder of the Smile Foundation (Yayasan Senyum), founded in 2005 provides surgical operations to now over 3,400 children and adults in Bali, Lombok and Flores for cleft lip palate and craniofacial deformities and disabilities. The facilities include the family to stay for the duration of the surgical procedures for the children with follow-up operations and medical treatment, in a caring environment. • Ibu Robin Lim of Yayasan Bumi Sehat has provided free birth, clinic maternal medical services and training programs for over thousands of local women in Bali for over 20 years, along with her clinics in the Philippines, Lombok and Haiti. Also, Robin is a CNN Hero award winner.

Often the Rotary Clubs initiate their own projects, but even more often, they work with the experts and Nongovernmental Organizations (NGOs- Non-Profit) who have a hands-on understanding of their field of service. These Yayasans ( in Bahasa) or NGOs with whom we come into contact are where the real work takes place. Over the years, we have had many guest speakers at our regular meetings who tell their story of their work and invite our club to participate with a project for their cause. It never ceases to amaze me how many people are out there dedicating their lives to helping the less fortunate within their NGO. I believe that these people are the real Heroes of Bali. These are the people who tirelessly create organizations to educate the local youth, offer a home environment and education to homeless children, bring clean water to remote villages, improve maternal health care, provide mobile health and blood collection clinics, waste management, create jobs for the poor, rebuild houses for those with barely no home, programs to teach sustainable livelihoods. The list is very long and the dedicated people who operate these organizations are many. They are usually under stress to stay afloat relying on donations and expanding their programs but always there, obsessed with helping the less fortunate in Bali and beyond. THE NGO GIANTS • It was only a few weeks ago that Mike O’Leary, Founder of the ROLE Foundation (Rivers, Ocean, Land ,Ecology), unfortunately passed away. He was an Australian surfer who loved wave ridding, but felt there was more to living in Bali and he wanted to give back to the place he loved. And he did. By starting ROLE Foundation in 2007, Mike inspired local government to incorporate the “Zero Waste to Ocean” waste management into their process that waste is

This is a tremendous accomplishment of making a future for children through education. • Tim Cameron, Founder of Stella’s Child provides programs with a rare opportunity to break the cycle of poverty by enabling underprivileged children to get jobs or start businesses where they can earn a fair wage and support their families.

• Ibu Asari, Founder of KIM Women’s Center assists divorced Balinese women and their children to assimilate back into the community as vibrant contributing members with financial and emotional stability and support through active programs. This is just the “tip of the iceberg” as to the number of operating Yayasans / NGOs that are in Bali. Also, each NGO has a dedicated Board of Directors, team members and volunteers who are also the Heroes of Ibu Asari, Founder of KIM Women’s Centre Bali. Last by not least, there are the Donors, who manifest the existence of the NGO to function and perpetually sustain their goals. Let 2020 be a year that more residents and tourists of Bali will appreciate these organizations and either volunteer or donate in order to give back and help people, who need it, in our community. Salutations and gratitude are justly due to these Real Heroes. By Rotary Assistant Governor, Anita Lococo

MONEY MATTERS Is It Possible to Boost Your Pension at the 11th Hour? My last article ‘Can you afford to retire in Bali - or anywhere else for that matter?’ addressed a subject that people tend to see as a non-priority issue - until faced with the reality of imminent retirement. It might not hit some people until they reach their 55th or even 60th birthday, by which time the options for rectifying any failure to plan are limited.

risk it will produce barely 2% per annum, the return you would get on a ‘safe-haven’ US Treasury Bond. So a savings pot of $100,000 would generate a return of only $2,000 a year. You could use the sum to buy an annuity but those rates are very low too as they are based on bond rates. And the annuity would die with you whereas the bonds would pass to your estate.

The ‘frozen pensioners’ of Bali

Pension pot not big enough, so what do you do?

There are many British retirees in Bali whose UK pensions were frozen from the day they left the UK, some going back 20, 30 years or even longer. And this after paying their contributions in full during their working lives to a national insurance fund. Many have reached a point of no return; they cannot go back to their home country due to infirmity, local family reasons or loss of family links in the UK. But for people in this group help is at hand. If you are not already a member I can put you in touch with the leader of a local action group in Bali who has made a strenuous effort to add Bali’s voice to a growing campaign to unfreeze the pensions. If you are one of the ‘frozen’ ones you can help yourself and others by joining the group.

Let’s say you have reached the age of 50 or 55, have failed to build up an adequate pension so far but still have another 10 years’ or so of work ahead of you to put things right. The first thing to understand is that starting a pension plan at 50 is going to cost you several multiples of what it would have cost you monthly had you started say at age 30. Which means that sacrifices have to be made in terms of spending and lifestyle. It’s not easy if you enjoy the good life and think that you should spend your money while you are relatively young in the mistaken belief that you can’t have so much fun when you are older. If you believe that you should join the Bali Hash House Harriers and see how some of the septuagenarians can whoop it up!

Pensions now a major global issue

Recently I was shown a promotion for a ‘fantastic’ share opportunity in a new innovative start-up company. This may be how Apple or Microsoft got off the ground. But for every Apple or Microsoft start-up there are hundreds of failures. If you are extremely wealthy you can try your luck with your ‘play’ money but it is not the place for retirement savings. So be warned; if you are desperately saving to boost your pension it is not the time to be taking risks. Do avoid the traditional life company regular savings plans that lock you in for at least ten years. They are OK for younger investors who have decades of earnings ahead of them, but if you are already in your 50s and you are forced to abandon the plan early you risk losing up to half the money you have put in due to the high charges and penalties. So how can you safely build up your pension? Cash is not a good long-term investment but it is still wise to build up healthy cash reserves for short term needs and contingencies. If you are going to remain in Bali then no harm in saving some Rupiah as you will get a higher interest rate but keep in mind the likelihood of it losing value in time against major currencies. For real growth you need to invest in a blend of stocks, bonds and commodities. Diversification is the key to keep the risk level in check but it is important to see this key part of your investment as a medium to long term one. There is still risk of losses in a timeframe of less than five years.

Pensions are not just an issue for Brits in Bali. At the time of writing much of France, and particularly Paris, have been brought to a standstill by a strike of transport workers protesting at proposed changes to their retirement age and pensions. Governments worldwide are faced with the demographic dilemma of a shrinking workforce funding benefits for a rapidly growing number of retirees.

More popular now than life company products are ‘platforms’ or investment accounts where you can hold a mixture of cash, stocks, funds or whatever with modest charges and full flexibility to withdraw cash at any time without penalty. These can be treated as personal pension plans over which you have complete control.

The situation is much worse for expats Westerners in their home countries are struggling to make ends meet in retirement. But most still have access to a social safety net that provides shelter, food and care for destitute pensioners, although the number of homeless people is still reported to be climbing in some of the richest countries.

But the big question now is HOW do you save at your age?

Expats however in countries like Indonesia have no safety net other than their own network of family and friends. While we can sympathise with those whose pensions have been frozen there are some people who have no pension at all! This is because company retirement plans are not usually available to those working overseas. The teaching profession and hotel industry are typical examples. Left to their own devices some will have taken out personal pensions but many have not.

Once you have decided on a target savings figure to reach by the time you are say 65 it is very tempting to look for high returns that will help you quickly reach the target. That is a recipe for disaster. You should bear in mind at all times that there is a direct relationship between risk and return. If you see an investment product that offers 10% per annum ‘guaranteed’ avoid it like the plague. A ‘guarantee’ is only as good as the value of the underlying asset and you can easily lose all your money.

Firstly you need to know what you MUST NOT do

I haven’t touched on investment property as a means of boosting retirement income as it could be a risky investment late in life and hard to turn into cash when you perhaps you most need it. But it is OK for diversification provided you have other assets that are more liquid. Conclusion With the wisdom of hindsight most retirees probably wish they had put more aside for retirement. But it’s easy to forget the financial pressures of early and mid-life. Quality of life in retirement is far from our thoughts until the time arrives. But if you have time left to improve that quality make the most of it!

How big a pension pot do you need? First you need to estimate how much you will need to live on. If you have a lump sum nest egg how much income will it generate? The harsh reality is that if you wish to minimise

How Do You Distil the Natural Essence of Bali? What do people mean when they talk about natural wines? Most if not all wines are, strictly speaking, made from natural ingredients like grapes, fruits, herbs or plants. The distinction comes in when you contemplate the additives most winemakers will add to their vintages, notably chemicals in the form of preservatives, stabilisers and clearing agents. Another differentiation is the inclusion of GMO versus non-GMO ingredients, which is blatantly not stated on the label. Bali has its fair share of winemakers, big and small, that have made a discernable footprint in the local wine market. While these wines are decently drinkable and o c c a s i o n a l l y enjoyable, their production is limited to wine from grapes. There is a noticeable absence of wines made from fruits besides grapes. And in a tropical environment that bursts with the natural flavours of great fruits, does that not strike you as, well, a bit un-natural? In the local markets you may encounter the traditional Anggur Putih, tuak (fermented palm juice) and brem (rice wine) that are produced for a very small niche of local fans. But you will find no wines made from fruit and no wineries that are producing wines made from fruit. One exception is Banat Winery in Antosari, Tabanan whose Balinese winemaker is an artisan and expert at juggling the blending of many ingredients in a process he calls the application of the age old Balinese tradition of sadrasa, the blending of 6 distinctive tastes to make a high quality product from local ingredients that are abundant and cheap. Those sadrasa tastes, explains winemaker Made Aryadi, are sweet, bitter, acidic, sour, salty, and spicy. ‘The target beverage’, says Made, ‘will determine how the six tastes are mixed, in

what proportion and intensity.’ Thus the mixing is very much a process with a target taste in mind. Banat stands for Bali Natural and the winery has been in existence since 2016, making nicely rounded white, red and rose wines from grapes and diverse other fruits. Made continually experiments with the warping and weaving of tastes. He plays with ingredients in a seismic palette of tastes, smells and textures. His philosophy is simple: everything natural comes from elements of nature like trees, plants, bushes, water. In his corner of the world that also means all ingredients should be sourced in Bali or its surroundings to get that distinctive Bali character. Besides the natural character of the wine, taste is a most desirable outcome and depends a great deal on the art of mixing which is an arduous process of trial and experimentation. Not all harvests will generate equally good quality grapes or fruits due to effects of climate and the weather, the amount of sunlight and water, the health of the source, the composition of the soil and its available nutrients. In the process of making wine, Banat winery uses exclusively natural ingredients, including mountain spring water from Belimbing with a natural PH level of 7.7, the most desirable level for drinking water. Made’s lab is clear of chemicals; he eschews them, even to clear the cloudiness of the wine, relying on natural ingredients like egg whites. The resulting vintages are aromatic wines with a unique Bali identity, a product of the successful union of Western style oenological technology with local wisdom and resources. Made concedes that chemicals like preservatives and stabilisers can add a lot of taste to a particular wine. They are used to stabilise the wine during transport to sometimes far away markets in sometimes less than ideal conditions. This explains why natural wines have a different taste from commercial wines, are fairly short-lived and are not good candidates for extended cellaring. The right market for natural wines is mainly local and in areas that do not require lengthy transport times. The best target consumers for these wines are people who understand and appreciate natural wines and those who are allergic to the chemical ingredients

of commercial wines. With the types and severity of allergies increasing in the general population, this heralds a bright future for natural wines. Banat Winery is licensed to make wine (white, rose and red) and arak with juice from Tabanan coconut and jako palm trees. In view of possible future expansion of its natural product line the winery is presently also experimenting with the production of gin based on Kintamani oranges, vodka from cassava or ubi, clear and dark rum, brandy, and whiskey -a grain based beverage that borrows its distinctive taste from the kind and mix of grains or cereals used. In all these concoctions only natural ingredients are used to adjust flavours like sugarcane and molasses. Made is making it a personal mission to educate expat and Balinese palates to the innate healthiness and flavour of his Bali wines. At the same time he is keen to impart the message to the Balinese people that they rightfully should be proud of their abundant natural resources. Made’s wines are proof that you can make a high quality product that ticks all the marks for natural, healthy, chemical-free, sustainable, environmentally focused, balanced and tasty. If you have sampled all of the available commercial wines made in Bali and judged them to be slightly off the mark qua taste, quality and value for money, it may be time to attune your palate to a more natural bend and try a totally natural product, one adhering to the innate principles of Balinese traditions. While you sip your wine, you can also bask in the realisation that consuming locally sourced products like Banat natural wines as opposed to pricey imports, lessens your carbon footprint and increases your environmental brownie points. Say goodbye to the smell of sulphur or chemical odours when first opening a bottle of wine and sample a natural wine instead. Watch for the Banat Winery creations to start making their mark on the Bali spirit market.

Balinese Keris

By Garrett Kam

The kris is a dagger famous for its wavy blade. More than just a weapon, the kris represents genealogy, right to rule, power and fertility. Though the kris (or keris) is most often associated with Indonesia and particularly Java and Bali, the dagger can also be found throughout the Greater Malay World - southern Thailand, southern Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore - areas that have been heavily influenced by Malay culture. Balinese Kris is a comprehensive introduction to this highly complex artifact from the perspective of an expert steeped in the ritual culture of Bali. From his experience and studies of more than 30 years, Garrett Kam deciphers the history of and myths behind this storied Malay dagger. The rich tradition of the kris is deeply embedded in complex socio-cultural world of Balinese rituals, sacred ceremonies, performing arts, martial arts, epics and magic. The Balinese have at least 17 words for kris in Old Javanese (Kawi) that describe its various uses, appearances, ancestry, lethality, etc. Patterns on blades and scabbards are given names like “cricket wings,” “watermelon skin” and “mango seeds.” In the book’s detailed closeups, the weapon’s motifs and damascening demonstrating metallurgic mastery can be fully appreciated. The small-framed Malay is quick and agile, so this style weapon is ideal for him. The kris’s wavy blade is designed to give the blade greater cutting power, “sawing” the flesh for a deeper, wider stab than a straight knife, which also makes the wound difficult to heal. A serrated blade will also work its way in and out among bones where a wider blade would stick. Official names given to historic kris, always preceded by “Venerable,’ such as “Tongue of Death,” “Thunderbolt,” “Agile Deer,” Sorcerer Dagger,” “Senior Ogre,” etc. poetically denote its powers, qualities and associations with powerful natural forces, great skills or strong characters. Potent symbolism can be found on some kris which serve as stand-ins at weddings, exorcist rituals and parades. A source of male pride, a straight blade (similar to a European rapier) represents a phallus or a serpent (naga) at rest with latent power while a wavy bladed kris is like a snake in motion, aggressive and alive. Some battle kris are so powerful that just by unsheathing them enemy warriors are cowed into the kneeling posture of submission. Specialized

kris were used to mercifully euthanize a noble warrior mortally wounded in battle or used for executions, the victim made to squat and the executioner driving the rapier into his heart from a point inside the collar bone, either quickly or slowly according to the sentence. A high mystic value is attached to this instrument of death. The number of times a kris has drawn blood or people it had slain only added to its power. Some kris are capable of sorcery: they can talk, fly, swim, turn into snakes, even father human children. If pointed at someone or if stabbed into the shadow or footprint of an intended victim, the kris’s invisible venom can kill. When danger is near, powerful kris have been known to rattle in their sheaths. One gruesome weapon (sundrik) was concealed by women in their hair for selfdefence or as protection against rape. To protect her honor, the woman first yielded to the man, then would gouge his genitals or rip his bowels. The writer also pays tribute to the accomplished art of kris making – the crafting of the blade, hilt and scabbard - which requires great skill and knowledge. All the book’s amazing photos were taken by the author himself. Each caption states the year and place the photograph was taken. To get this close to his subjects, Kam needed to know when the ceremony or event was to take place, how the proceedings were structured and above all else show great respect for the participants. Though Kam humbly insists that he was just at the right place at the right time, his images capture an essence that owes more to a nimble, intrepid and polished talent as a photographer than to mere dumb luck. Kam’s rare photos, in particular the “action” shots, are in fact the book’s most outstanding feature. Beginning from the opening page - a full page bleed of a man attempting to plunge four kris into his chest from a nearly

perpendicular angle - the reader’s attention is pulled to these captivating images from the very start. From all the visual information it’s apparent that this semi divine artefact as the single most important part of a man’s formal traditional outfit. There is something stately and dignified about bare-chested men and boys standing, sitting and walking with eye-catching kris protruding from the backs. Priest hold kris aloft during magic rites. Grimacing men in trance hold kris in threatening poses in a ritual street performance. Bachelor youths with kris stuck a kilter in waist bands march alongside sacred gongs. Mesmerizing Barong and Baris dancers menace onlookers with kris and spears. Royal kris are enthroned in high altars festooned with flowers and elaborate offerings. Kris are the focus of attention in paintings and sculpture. The last chapter, “Keris and Components,” describes all the physical parts of a kris, demonstrating why kris making is the penultimate masculine esoteric art. This full color section amounts to a classification guide that would be indispensable for dealers, collectors and military buffs in determining an individual kris’s workmanship, qualities and powers. This authoritative volume will assuredly be a seminal text on the subject and is a valuable addition to Asian military history. Without pretending to be encyclopaedic in scope, Balinese Kris distils the essence of this redoubtable weapon and amounts to a holistic study of all the major aspects, multiple uses and meanings of the kris from its manufacture to its occult spiritual dimensions.

Nyuh Kuning – Where Plastic Waste is Old News Nineteen years ago and hands on hips, Made Weda

He goes on.

despaired at the new problem littering the streets he knew and loved. Today, he smiles from his warung on one of the cleanest streets in Bali. According to The Bali Partnership Study (2019) Bali residents, tourists and organisations generate 303,000 tonnes of plastic waste per year. But how have Made Weda and Nyuh Kuning succeeded where many other communities continue to fail? Take a stroll past the many cafes, bars and spas on Jalan Nyuh Bojong - on the quieter side of Monkey Forest - and see for yourself. We checked in with the waste warriors that keep Nyuh Kuning tidy. ‘WOW! That was a lot of plastic,’ says Made Weda, the pony-tailed proprietor of Warung Coconut, where his massive smile shines absolute proof that his soul is in tact. ‘Nineteen years ago we started to respect our village. At this time we didn’t understand about plastic.’ A worker sweeps the floor around us in the spattered light under the palms. Made’s happy, but he tries to conceal a shyness at being recognised for his great work in the village. ‘I had a small truck and I organised with the teacher at the elementary school that we’d start from there. I dedicated one hour every Saturday morning at seven o’clock.’

‘The first time, we did it around Nyuh Kuning and the truck was absolutely full of plastic. After that, we continued every Saturday for six months and it was full every time. We just volunteered.’ Nearly two-decades later, Nyuh Kuning continues to lead the way, ‘And we have another collection at seven o’clock tomorrow.’ The Bali Partnership Study says that only 7% of Bali’s plastic waste is collected for recycling. And though Made Weda is a local hero, he isn’t the only one chipping in. Wayan Sutana is the General Manager of Bali Swasti Eco Cottages opposite Warung Coconut. At Swasti, Wayan has a great philosophy. He composts organic waste with sheep poo that helps lettuce grow in the garden. He doesn’t use chemicals and you can take a litter-free dip in the gorgeous and environmentally sound salt pool. But how do Wayan and the resort handle plastic? ‘Of course, we have some plastic waste as well,’ says Wayan. ‘We use ecoBALI, who collect our paper, plastic and other waste to recycle it all here on the island.’ It’s reassuring to see such care being taken, and it seems it’s infectious.

‘Nyuh Kunning and all natural things are precious. I feel angry when I see waste, but picking it up shows that you can love more than just yourself.’ The Australian Consul-General in Bali, Anthea Griffin gave a bird’s eye view, ‘We are highly supportive of the work of the Bali Government and Governor Koster in responding to the waste management issue in accordance with the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which strives to conserve harmony with nature and promote the sustainability of the natural environment.’ Also recognizing the effort from grass roots, Anthea says, ‘We also appreciate and support the work of many individuals, businesses and NGOs in tackling these issues.’ According to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Indonesia comes second in the world table for generating plastic waste that ends up in the sea. Yes, there’s been a recent single-use plastics ban on the island, but just like Nyuh Kuning heroes, Made Weda. Wayan Sutana and Ketut Nate, we all have an individual responsibility to protect Planet Earth.

Ketut Nate is a taxi driver and volunteers for Trash Hero in Nyuh Kuning. By spending a few hours picking up rubbish with friends through the charity, Ketut gains a profound understanding of the consequences of being careless about waste.

Local News Bali’s Badung regency plans to build ‘recycle park’ in Canggu After a three-day fire that ravaged Bali’s biggest garbage dump, TPA Suwung, last month, Badung regency is now eyeing resort village Canggu as a location to build a landfill, which an official say will be named Badung Recycle Park (BRP). “We won’t refer to it as a landfill, but Badung Recycle Park instead. We want to make waste management environmentally friendly,” I Putu Eka Merthawan, who heads Badung’s Environment and Sanitation Agency, told Nusa Bali yesterday. Eka said plans for BRP include making it into an integrated area, where the waste management office for North Kuta will be located, along with a fire department post and a garden. The overload at TPA Suwung led to a fire that burned for 3 days in October prompting officials to devise new plans to tackle the issue of waste buildup there. For the longest time, garbage trucks from different parts of Bali have used TPA Suwung as a dumping ground, without ever being processed. As waste management are supposed to be handled by district governments, Bali Governor I Wayan Koster then forbade other districts to use TPA Suwung as their dumping ground, consequently instructing Badung to find a location to dump their own garbage by the end of this month. According to Eka, BRP will be built on 2.8 hectares of land belonging to the provincial government and that IDR 2.5 billion (US$177,250) will be allocated for the development. Construction is scheduled to begin next year. Until then, garbage from Badung regency will be dumped on 3 hectares of land besides Mengwi Terminal. Though temporary, Eka said the site would still be equipped with waste management tools and is expected to receive around 300 tons of waste daily. [coconuts.com November 29, 2019] Hundreds of textile dye businesses in Denpasar illegally dump waste in local river: official After a small textile dye business in Denpasar was found to have irresponsibly dumped waste in the Badung River and turned the water red earlier this week, the city’s Department of Environment and Sanitation (DLHK) said yesterday that hundreds of similar businesses have been operating without permits and secretly dumping their waste in the river. “They’ve been hiding from us, and they don’t throw their waste during the day but do so during the night, when we are not on duty [so] in the morning, the water will either be foamy or colored,” Ida Ayu Indi Kosala Dewi from DLHK in Denpasar said, as quoted by Nusa Bali. Citing data from APBSI, an association for textile dye businesses in the country, Ida said there are about 200 of such businesses in Denpasar. However, there are many others who have yet to join APBSI, making it difficult for DLHK to supervise their activities. Ida added that none of these businesses currently hold permits, nor do they have adequate waste management facilities. She explained that some of them have been charged with minor offenses, known as tipiring in Indonesian. Indonesia’s 2009 Environmental Law prohibits irresponsible dumping of waste, and violators face up to 3 years in prison and a maximum fine of IDR3 billion (US$213,000), if convicted. In addition, those found to be intentionally polluting the environment may also face up to 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of IDR10 billion (US$708,641). Ida admits that the Denpasar city government is quite lenient on the small business owners. “We are still quite [tolerant] because this is how they make a living, and we are giving them [a chance] to conduct their business,” Ida said. However, AA Susruta Ngurah Putra, a member of the regional council in Denpasar, voiced his disagreement with the practice, highlighting the impact of irresponsible waste dumping to the environment. “Giving an economic impact by destroying the environment, which one is more beneficial? If the environment is destroyed, everything else follows,” Putra told Tribun-Bali. “Indeed it is for the sake of economic growth, but if growth is destroying the environment that is not right.” [coconuts.com November 29, 2019] The Zen of motorcycle smuggling The CEO of Garuda Indonesia, I Gusti Ngurah Askhara Danadiputra, has been fired from his post by the Minister of State-owned Enterprises (BUMN), Erick Thohir. As reported by bisniswisata.co.id, the sudden dismissal apparently stems from a failed attempt to smuggle spare parts for a Harley Davidson Motorcycle and two Brompton folding bicycles on the delivery flight of a new Airbus A330900 NEO from Toulouse, France to Jakarta on November 17, 2019. The dramatic firing took place after Thohir received a report from a special audit team filed on Thursday, December 5, 2019. The audit team concluded that the purchase of the Harley Davidson components and their loading as passenger luggage on the delivery flight were done on the orders of the Garuda President Director. The BUMN Minister called on those involved in the smuggling attempt to simply resign their posts rather than face an embarrassing and prolonged formal dismissal process. When firing Askhara, Thohir pledged to ferret out others involved in the current case. “We will see if there are others involved in this case; this is not just a civil, but also a criminal matter that has caused losses to the Country. When we are working to raise the image and synergy of a State-owned company but there are still internal players unprepared (to join the joint effort), so this is what happens,” said Thohir. The delivery trip of a Garuda Indonesia A330-900 NEO from the Airbus Factory in Toulouse, France to Jakarta was apparently used by Garuda’s CEO to smuggle the contraband into Indonesia. The Harley Davidson used spare parts and 2 folding Brompton Bicycles were found in 18 cardboard boxes of luggage carried on the delivery flight that landed in Jakarta on November 17, 2019. The Harley-Davidson Parts were seized by Indonesian Custom officials after the plane touched down at the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. It remains to be seen if Thohir will appoint an ad-interim CEO for Garuda or immediately appoint a permanent replacement for I Gusti Ngurah Askhara Danadiputra. [balidiscovery.com December 10, 2019]

28 Bali cracks down on ‘zero-dollar’ package tourism from China Investigators in Bali shut down many of the Chinese-owned outlets that were found to have been acquired illegally. The Bali Tourism authority estimates as many as three in every 10 Chinese tourists to Bali were in the “zero dollar” category; the resulting crackdown has resulted in a huge drop in total numbers from the world’s second-largest economy. Official data shows Chinese tourism visits to Bali down 16.5 per this year and 6.3 per cent in 2018. Over the two years, this has meant 305,000 fewer Chinese tourists. It’s a dramatic reversal of the pattern set earlier this decade. In 2014, Chinese tourist arrivals in Bali jumped 51.42 percent year-on-year. This was followed by double-digit gains in the following two years and a 57 percent surge in 2017. “Normally a drop of 300,000 in tourist numbers would be a matter of dire concern - but in this case it is a good thing,” says Indonesia Institute president Ross Taylor. “What we will now see is a rebalancing of the numbers going into Bali. Those people who are now not coming were - though no fault of their own - contributing nothing to the Balinese economy but were adding to traffic jams and environmental issues,” Mr Taylor said.

crowding that appeared to have brought little financial benefit to the island. He said the mainland China tourists generally travelled in groups and were not overly sensitive to the locals. “They generally stay in Kuta in hotels that charge Indonesian rupiah 400,000 (about $40) a night. When they go to the beach, they take pictures as they wish without caring about others, especially if they get a good angle. Even if we try to The great Australian love affair with Bali has run hot and cold warn them, they take no notice.” in recent years, but the pick-up in 2018 appears to have held, with numbers up 3.8 per cent this year.

Badung decides to handover waste management to each village The Badung government has to manage their own waste now after the tolerance period of disposing waste at Suwung landfill, South Denpasar, ended last Thursday. A landfill area in Tuban will be used as a temporary solution while the 3R waste processing site is constructed next to the Mengwi Terminal is being completed. An excavator and bulldozer are now on standby at the Tuban landfill area ready to process the plied up trash. There are 10 officers periodically spraying the rubbish to prevent any smell and flies in the area. After the process is completed, they will cover the rubbish with plastic sheeting. According to the agreement between Badung Environment and Sanitation (LHK) Board and respective authorities, the temporary landfill in Tuban will only accommodate the trash from the Tuban and Kuta areas, and the public trash that is handled directly by the Badung LHK. “The trash out of Tuban, Kuta and public areas in the area will be handled at that site,” said the Head of the Badung LHK Board, I Putu Eka Merthawan, to nusabali.com on Saturday. Eka explained that the decision has been socialized with a decree, which said that the head of sub-districts, sub-villages and villages in Badung should prepare and facilitate waste management services in their respective areas. “I want to inform people that we won’t tolerate people throwing trash out of the areas that have been determined by the village heads. Please don’t throw the trash into the mangrove or the river areas,” he added. “We have started to manage our waste independently, even though I must admit that the condition is not ideal yet, because the facilities are still being developed. Don’t take it as an excuse to litter the area,” Merthawan said. After the 3R Waste Management Area (TPST) next to the Mengwi Terminal is complete all of the rubbish in Tuban will be immediately delivered there to be processed. “We want to make Tuban

clean,” Merthawan said. When asked about when the new landfill will be operating, Merthawan said that it is still in progress. “The Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Department targeted that the new landfill would be fully operational around mid-December 2019,” he concluded. Meanwhile, the Head of the Badung PUPR Dept, IB Surya Suamba, said that the construction of the 3R TPS next to the Mengwi Terminal is still on going and according to the initial plan, the local government must provide the permits and land surfaced with concrete, safety fences and more. “At the moment we are still building a 30 meter x 50 meter trash warehouse, a dividing wall, and a waste processing machine with a capacity of five tons per hour,” he said to Tribun Bali. Because the construction is still in progress, Surya Suamba predicted that it would need at least two to three weeks for 3R TPST to be ready to process large amount of trash. “We target that the processing area will be completed on December 19, 2019, and the new landfill can be used the next day,” he concluded.

Australian woman caught telling a tale of a faked robbery in Bali to defraud her insurers RadarBali reports that an Australian woman from Byron Bay, Emma Bell, has reportedly been caught attempting to defraud her insurers – all done at tremendous damage to the reputation of Bali. Social media in Bali was picked up by the mainstream press in Australia relating a shocking story of how Bell had been viciously dragged and brutalized in a purse snatching incident in Canggu, Bali, resulting in head injuries and a very badly scarred face. As related in local social media reports, the woman, who had been “living the life” by working as a hairdresser in Bali, was hospitalized in Bali where she was “fighting for her life” with medical bills mounting at a rate of US$2,000 a day. Another woman, Emi Thompson, identified as a friend of Bell, organized a GoFundMe Page that by Tuesday, December 10, 2019, had already raised $16,791. When Police from Bali’s Criminal Investigation Division were dispatched to investigate the case and bring the purse snatcher to justice they were initially surprised that no formal police complaint had been filed by Bell or her associates at the time of the purported purse snatching. Undeterred, police then visited Emma Bell’s local address of “Villa Rose” located on Jalan Bumbak, Gang Pulau Karimata in Canggu, North Bali. At that location, police were able to interview a male friend of the injured woman, Ian Bryden, who told a story to police that was very much at odds with that being shared on social media and with the Australian press. According to Police, Bell’s tale of woe and larceny appear to be a complete work of fiction designed to support a bogus insurance claim. Apparently, Emma Bell’s injuries were the result of an uninsured motorcycle mishap and, according to Bryden, she had suffered no personal property loss due to theft in connection with her injuries.

Andi Fairan, head of the Criminal Division for the Provincial Police, spoke on Tuesday, December 10, 2019, and said his officers were prevented from interviewing Bell who had already left Bali earlier on Saturday, December 7th and was in Perth where she is receiving medical care. Police also have an interest in meeting Emi Thompson who appears to have played a major role in the deception and who organized a fraudulent GoFundMe Campaign on Bell’s behalf. With information now suggesting Emma Bell may be involved in criminal insurance fraud and Internet Fraud, it is unclear what legal consequences await the woman once she recovers from her injuries. If her recovery plans include a return to Indonesia, she may still need to explain her actions to Police in Bali and to local residents eager to see how she plans to make amends for defaming the Island of Bali.
