Foreigners may face deportation for violating health protocols: Bali After numerous reported incidents of foreigners in Bali refusing to follow COVID-19 health protocols over the past few months, an official from immigration warned yesterday that visitors may be deported if they continue to violate the rules. Eko Budianto, who heads the immigration department at the Bali office for the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, said authorities have recorded data of foreigners who have been caught without masks or violating other health protocols in the province. “So if they continue to violate the rules, it doesn’t rule out the possibility of us acting on the matter by deporting them,” Eko said yesterday, as quoted by Detik. Eko explained that under Indonesia’s 2011 Immigration Law, immigration officials are authorized to implement the Administrative Act from Immigration should they deem that any foreign national is conducting dangerous activities, suspected to be endangering safety and public
order, or being disrespectful and disobeying the law. These acts include the cancellation of stay permits and deportation, among others. “When they violate [health protocols] it’s clear that they are violating the law, we can send them home or deport them,” Eko added. Bali began enforcing a mandatory mask rule in September to curb the spread of the coronavirus, subjecting violators with either a fine of IDR100,000 (US$7.11) or social sanctions if they are caught without masks in public. Authorities in Badung regency previously said foreign nationals have made the bulk of mask rule violators in the area. Governor Wayan Koster previously said that anyone without masks will be denied entry from tourist sites and restaurants, as officials are looking into the possibility of subjecting foreign nationals to higher fines if they are caught without masks.

Monkey thieves at Bali’s Uluwatu temple are more sophisticated than you thought, study suggests
Anytime one visits the Uluwatu temple in Bali, it’s just good sense to be cautious. It’s very likely that guides at this popular tourist destination will tell you to at least put away any dangling items from your person, lest you want it snatched away by the temple’s main inhabitants-slash-furry local thieves — the monkeys. The long-tailed macaques in Uluwatu are well-known for their robbery skills, with unsuspecting visitors often the target of their clever stunts, as they would cling to the stolen items until food is offered as ransom payment.
As it turns out, these monkeys are skilled at evaluating which items are more valuable to the owner, and they are using this information to acquire better rewards — usually in the form of more or better food — according to a new study published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society this week. “They preferentially selected tokens that were more likely to be exchanged for food (e.g electronic devices, pairs of glasses) over other objects that were less valuable for humans and typically not worth bartering (e.g empty camera bags, hairpins),” the study says. Researchers, who based this study on 273 days of filmed interactions between the monkeys and their human targets in the area, say this suggests that they’re not merely bartering, but also

maximizing their profits in the process. In addition, this is apparently specific to the free-ranging population of the Balinese long-tailed macaques at Uluwatu temple. The research concludes that these behaviors are learned by the monkeys throughout juvenescence, or until they are about four years old in this species. As such, the adults are usually more successful at getting better rewards during the “negotiations.” “This behavior was […] an established practice in this population, probably passed on cross-generationally for at least 30 years,” the study says. So the next time you’re visiting Uluwatu temple, it might be handy to have learned that the monkeys really, really know what they’re doing. (coconuts.co)
