I.B. Sedhawa, the head of Bali Cultural Department, said that most of the people visited the museum were students. 12,270 visitors were students from kindergarten through Senior High School. “In the last few years, most of
the visitors of Bali Museum were students,” he added. The high number of visitors is very good because one of the purposes of the museum is to give knowledge and education to the people. The museum which is located in the heart of Denpasar is collecting
old artifacts about the history of Bali. The collection is varied from the prehistoric age through the independence of Indonesia. Sedhawa said “Bali Museum is the most ideal place to study the history of Bali from time to time.” Bali Government applied special ticket price for student who wanted to visit the museum. Domestic tourist must pay 5,000 rupiah and foreigners must pay 10,000 rupiah to enter the museum. However, kindergarten and elementary school
only have to pay 500 rupiah and for junior and senior high school only must pay 1,000 rupiah to enter the museum. This is done in order to attract visitors to come to the museum. Sedhawa said “this year, we plan to held an exhibition in order to attract more visitors. We will invite students to take part in the exhibition. We also plan to conduct road show to schools throughout Bali in order to give information about the museum.”(kmb13)

Denpasar (Bali Post)—
The death of I Gede Arya Heru Wibawa alias Heru, 41, a former athlete of National Games (PON), was very terrifying. Though perpetrators, namely I Wayan Darta alias Lengkong, 40, and I Made Suastika, 21, have surrendered themselves to police station and been arrested in detention cell of Denpasar Metro Police, up to now
the police remains to deepen their investigation. Information collected, last Tuesday (Jan 5), told that perpetrators who are father and son were alleged to target wrongly. Because, one day before the incident causing the death (Saturday, Jan 2), it was said that a riot once occurred at such Mirama Karaoke on Jalan Raya Sesetan, Denpasar.
Such riot happened between both suspects and a visitor sitting on table No. 1. Even, it once triggered a mutual bottle throw at that time. However, the victim Heru who happened to be at crime scene could separate the riot. “Heru separated the riot. Finally, the victim could pacify it so he could prevent another bigger incident,” said a resource person whose name asked to
be made secret. The resource person told that the victim Heru was known as a good and helpful man. Even, he did not like fighting. It was shown when a riot occurred on the previous day, the victim Heru separated it. He could calm it down. “If there was no Heru, it might turn to a bigger riot,” he added. Continued on page 6
