Bali authorities bust Russian smuggling an orangutan he drugged to keep as a pet “We believe the orangutan was fed allergy pills which caused him to sleep. We found the pills inside the suitcase,” Bali conservation agency official I Ketut Catur Marbawa told AFP Saturday.
A Russian tourist attempting to smuggle a drugged orangutan out of Indonesia in his suitcase to bring home and keep as a pet has been arrested in Bali, police said Saturday. Andrei Zhestkov was detained in Denpasar airport late on Friday while passing through a security screening before a planned flight back to Russia. Suspicious officers stopped him and opened his luggage to find a two-yearold male orangutan sleeping inside a rattan basket.
“(Zhestkov) seemed prepared, like he was transporting a baby,” he added. The 27-year-old also packed baby formula and blankets for the orangutan, Marbawa said. Police also found two live geckos and five lizards inside the suitcase. Zhestkov told authorities that the protected species was gifted by his friend, another Russian tourist who bought the primate for $3,000 from a street market in Java. He claimed his friend, who has since left Indonesia, convinced him he could bring home the orangutan as a pet.
The Russian could face up to five years in prison and $7,000 in fines for smuggling, Marbawa said. Orangutans are a critically endangered species, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, with only about 100,000 remaining worldwide. Plantation workers and villagers in Indonesia often consider the apes as pests and sometimes attack them, while poachers capture the animals to sell as pets. A string of fatal attacks on the apes have been blamed on farmers and hunters. Four Indonesian men were arrested last year over the killing of an orangutan shot some 130 times with an air gun.

NEW IN THE GU: SYNKONAH
You are not in
Canggu has long been known as the official brekkie capital of the world, with grammable food available at every corner. While breakfast and lunch spots are easier to find than helmet-less tourists riding around on loud bikes, dinner spots can be a little trickier. We have our favourites and tend to over-do them, so we’re constantly on the lookout for new spots to tickle our dinner pickles. Enter Synkonah. Exit all other dinner plans - Synkonah is THE s**t on the Berawa block. Mediterranean cuisine made with fresh ingredients and lots of love. A trendy street-side setting with a few tables outside and plenty of room inside. A list of gins to make other Bali gin lists pale in comparison.
if you are not in the
Pop over for an early dinner setting at sunset and order a tapas-style setting from the small plates selection; tuna carpaccio, beautiful green pea falafels and the creamiest burrata to share. Pair that with a Spanish Gin Mare cocktail with a sprig of rosemary. Enjoy a Balinese twist of lemongrass with your otherwise classic Gordon’s Gin. Watch the surfers head back from sunset and move on to the selection of charcuterie; pick and mix to create your own dream team of pork fennel & chili sausage, morano local prosciutto duck confit (! ) and pickled vegetables to balance the flavours. Make sure you order a side of the roasted beetroot with feta, because the world is simply better with that in your life. Once the first few rounds of your gin-perience have you buzzing, it’s time to dig in to the mains. The porchetta rolled pork belly with spiced apple is juicy and crispy at the same time. We collectively loved the whole roasted spring chicken, and while the menu admittedly is a little meatier than most of the Gu eateries, the vegetable tagine with root vegetables more than makes up for the lack of selection.

The gin selection on it’s own is enough of a reason to make this a destination worth making the trek from near and far. Everything from your common Gibson’s and Gordon’s to Tanquerays and Sipsmiths. All the gins are served with tonic or soda water and garnished in the signature Synkonah style. The cocktail list houses all your favourite classics (it’s a Tangerine Tom Collins for me " ♀
) though the Gummy Bear Punch really does pack a
grizzly punch. While there are more new restaurants opening than we have time to visit, Synkonah is an amazing addition that we are excited to welcome to the neighbourhood. You’ll be seeing more of us, Synkonah. GG xx

ForBALI chides govt. officials’ handling of Benoa Bay reclamation project during protest processed again from scratch, but it’s unclear whether that happened. “This is a bad legal precedent, so we have taken action again,” he explained. He also called out Indonesian political parties, who he said in the run-up to the elections had all claimed to reject the project. “This will also be a bad political precedent because people are making promises to reject the reclamation project without genuine intentions,” he said, as quoted by Bali Post.
The Balinese People’s Forum to Reject Reclamation (ForBALI), an activist group of artists, musicians, lawyers, and other impassioned locals, took to the streets of Denpasar once again on Saturday in their first demonstration this year against the controversial Benoa Bay reclamation project. Formed in 2013, the group is the driving force behind “tolak reklamasi” (reject reclamation), the biggest resistance movement against the proposed project. If realized, the development would see Dubai-esque artificial islands created in South Bali’s Benoa Bay, a fresh base for hotels, restaurants and tourist entertainment facilities. According to local reports, this latest march comes after the location permit expired last year, but was suddenly reissued — to the same developer, PT Tirta Wahana Bali International (TWBI) — on 29 November by the Indonesian Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Susi Pudjiastuti. Talking to Bali Post, ForBALI coordinator, I Wayan Gendo Suardana, explained, “This action is actually the same as the others, except it’s a response to the location permit issued by Susi. We believe that the government does not side with the people’s movement.” Suardana claimed that legally, since the permit had expired, it should have been
One of ForBALI’s loudest voices is Jerinx, the activist-drummer of Bali punk rock band Superman is Dead. Questioned by the source during the rally, he chided Minister Susi for blocking critical comments on her social media accounts and failing to reply to a video related to the public
rejection of the Benoa Bay project. “Susi should go to minister school again,” he said. Jerinx also called for more transparency in the government, arguing that Bali Governor Wayan Koster should make public the letter he allegedly wrote to President Jokowi rejecting the Benoa Bay project. Since the planned development of Benoa Bay was first announced several years ago, it has been one of the island’s most contentious issues. The artificial islands would not only bring mass development to an area already declared as “sacred” by the country’s governing Hindu authority, but also rip up mangrove forests and likely create flooding issues in Benoa and much of South Bali.
