‘Uncouth and dumb’: Unboxing video of Ducati cargo in Indonesia sparks outrage 21. Only customs officials are authorized to open freight crates, aside from the team to which they belong, in order to prevent industrial espionage and tampering.
The illegal opening of a Ducati cargo box ahead of the upcoming Superbike World Championship (WSBK) grand prix in Mandalika, Lombok is making headlines today, after an employee from the local organizer was alleged to have fiddled with the motorbike inside the container. According to a report from Speedweek.com, several pictures and a video showed an employee from the Mandalika Grand Prix Association (MGPA) “opening a Ducati cargo box and fiddling with factory rider Michael Rinaldi’s motorcycle.” The 13th round of the WSBK is scheduled to take place from Nov. 19 to
Quoting WSBK Executive Director Gregorio Lavilla, the publication reported that the employee in question has since been fired, although MGPA today denied that the person was affiliated with them. Ducati’s sport director, Paolo Ciabatti, was reportedly livid upon hearing the news and referred to the incident as a setback that last occurred 40 years ago and “only in third world countries,” according to Speedweek.com.

As more details emerge following the initial report, the YouTube channel connected with the controversial “unboxing” video, Soul kuta lombok, appears to have taken down the original video at the time of publication.

user wrote a clarification on the comment section — which appears to have been edited at least once — and claimed that the cargo box had been opened by customs officials, explaining that “when the filming took place, the motorcycle was already opened.” The person also wrote that he was at fault for filming the process, which “he did not know at all was not supposed to be published.” “I am uncouth, I am dumb,” he wrote on one version of the clarification circulating widely online today. The user was likely responding to mounting comments from Indonesian netizens, many of whom chided him for “bringing shame” to Indonesia. Indeed, the incident brought so much shame to motorsport-obsessed Indonesia that even the House of Representatives (DPR) demanded that local organizers apologize. (coconuts.co)

Bars & Restaurants Not Obeying the Rules found mainly in restaurants and beach clubs in the Province of Bali.
Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment and COVID-19 Czar, has lamented the high number of health protocol violations at tourism attractions and nightspots in Bandung and Bali. During an online press conference held on Monday, 08 November 2021, Luhut confirmed that he has dispatched a team to supervise the implementation of health protocols in Bali and Bandung, West Java. Quoted by NusaBali.com, Luhut said: “In our investigations, we discovered that health protocols were being carried out correctly in shopping centers and malls. The PeduliLindungi application is strictly applied for people visiting malls where using face masks and opening hours confirm to the official rules.” Meanwhile, the Minister commented that at tourism destinations, the enforcement of physical distancing rules remains weak. There were many places where the PeduliLindungi application was being scanned on only a few representatives of visitors. “These facts will certainly be evaluated and discussed further with all stakeholders in the respective regions (where violations are occurring),” said Luhut.

He said Beach Clubs and Bars were operating without limitations on capacity, no physical distancing enforcement, and no enforcement of the laws surrounding health protocols. He also noted that little force is being exerted to scan QR Codes when entering a business using the PeduliLindungi Application. Indonesia’s COVID-19 Czar asked that regional government bodies take a more active and forceful role in taking action against those who violate the rules and require all businesses to install and use a QR Code ready for scanning at their entrances. Following instructions issued by President Joko Widodo, Luhut said that venues to be used in connection with the G20 Summit in November 2022 will undergo sterilization commencing now. Not only in Bali, but Luhut’s team also observed bars and nightspots in Bandung, West Java, operating outside the health protocol rules and regulations. Violations include: Operating outside the established rules on opening hours. Exceeding limitations on • capacity. Failing to use the • PeduliLindungi Application. Luhut’s team discovered businesses trying to avoid enforcement of health protocols by turning off lights at the front of their places of business, using parking lots far removed from their businesses, and forbidding guests from taking pictures or making videos. •
Minister Luhut added: “We understand, truly understand that all are getting bored (with health protocols). But, in any case, we must be careful because nobody wants to see the third wave of infections take place.” (balidiscovery.com)
