Additionally, coral reefs posed a leading producer of white sand to prevent abrasion. “Please do not allow people to

expand the standardization of security that previously only covered hotels and villas and in the future it could include all tourist facilities such as restaurants, bars and discotheques to ease the monitoring so that security could be more conducive.

Likewise, the airport should also be expanded so that it could accommodate wider-bodied aircrafts so that tourist arrivals increased and Balinese people would be getting more prosperous. Bali had just received 3 million and Indonesia 7 million tourists a year. This figure was far lower than our competitors such as Malaysia whose tourist visit reached 15 million, while Thailand and Singapore had already reached 20 million. In addition, government policies should involve all stake holders so that it would yield a satisfactory regulation product for all or the majority party. For instance, the tariff policy of the underground water needed to involve all parties to ensure the harmonization of its application. (r) B N

HINDU possesses a medical science that has been very renowned from time immemorial, namely Ayurvedic medicine. Ayurvedic medicine refers to the contents of the scripture Ayurveda born thousands of years ago. Ayurvedic scripture denotes a part of Upaweda in the group of Smriti Vedas. However, the Ayurvedic scripture is often confused with Yajur Veda, the scripture containing sacrificial formula that also belongs to Smriti Veda. Yajur Veda itself is a scripture discussing about Yajña or ceremony.

UTHOR of the book Usada Bali (Balinese Traditional Healing), the late Prof. IGN Nala, once said that to help the healing, the Ayurvedic healers usually provided natural herbal medicine having few side effects. Almost all plants existing around us could be eaten, they were medicine. On that account, all plants having efficacy for healing were necessary to be inventoried and developed. In the meantime, the Dean of Faculty of Health Science, Hindu University of Indonesia (Unhi), I Nyoman Prastika, said that based Taru Premana palmmanuscript there were a number of beneficial herbs having the efficacy to cure diseases. Parts of those plants taken advantage consisted of its leaf, flower, fruit, bark or roots. Each herb had different quality such as cool, warm and mild. Then, what kinds of plant could be used to cure diseases? Prastika said that virtually all ed-

ible plants by animals could be eaten by humans. Whether the herbs had medicinal quality, they could be observed from the color of their flowers and flavor as mentioned above. Similarly, the plants frequently used for spices in the cooking contained drug efficacy. Red ginger for example, was good to increase warmth of the body as well as to stimulate or maintain immunity. If red ginger added with the flowers of carambola, bark of tamarind and kalmegh leaves, they could be used to accelerate breathing and relieve cough. Meanwhile, to break up kidney stones and cure colic, people could also use herbal medicine. Its ingredients consisted of roots of reed, roots of palm tree, root of areca nut tree and added with palm sugar. All materials were thoroughly boiled. Afterward, its decoction water was drunk in the morning and afternoon.

Herbal remedies could also cope with cardiac palpitations. Its ingredients comprised the soy beans, green beans, ginger, cumin, fennel, bidara upas (Merremia mammosa) leaf, coriander and pulasari (Alyxia

Stellata). All ingredients should be boiled and then water of its decoction was drunk regularly. Meanwhile, Balinese traditional healing used several palmleaf manuscripts as reference. One of them was Lontar Usada Tiwang. This manuscript described about various types of diseases along with their treatments. Tiwang conveyed numerous symptoms in the form of disorder on the function of organ. There were several types of tiwang presented in the manu-

scripts such as tiwang utara, tiwang tojos, tiwang wedul, tiwang pemali pepasangan, tiwang wong, and tiwang rajasa. Prastika added that tiwang pemali pepasangan had symptoms like prickling pain in the chest and on the back. Being no resistant to the pain, the sufferers often groaned. The disease itself could be treated by means of bark of rauvolfia, temu tis (Curcuma purpurascens), grilled coconut, hazelnut and fennel. It was applied by spraying its paste. (BTN/kmb) BTN

Made Kedol Subrata

Rendezvous of Renowned for His Spaghetti Technique Genuine-GoodT Patient in

Staff Party 2010 of RBBR

Improving Employees’ Professionalism STRATEGIC location of Ramada Bintang Bali Resort (RBBR) makes the hotel as one of the prominent hotels in the Kuta area. However, a strategic location only of course is inadequate if not accompanied with employees’ professionalism. Well, this combination is owned by the hotel. RBBR continues to push the compactness of work to produce excellent quality service extended to tourists staying at the hotel. On that account, kinship should be tightened as one of the supporting cornerstones of the professionalism. It was revealed by Chairman of the RBBR Staff Party, Wayan Tinggal Yasa, just before the event was held on Friday (Oct 15) night. Tinggal serving as the Front Office Manager of the hotel accompanied by Public Relations Manager, Tia Virlana, further reiterated the purpose of the event was to strengthen the kinship among the employees of the Ramada Bintang Bali Resort & Spa. The happening held within the hotel area took place cheerfully and lively and attended by the employees along with family and General Manager, Jerry Lee. “This event poses a very important moment as one of the supports of professionalism. It shows the compact and strong relationships among the employees,” said Tinggal from Sanur. Furthermore, Wayan Tinggal explained that such an event was held in two sessions, namely on Friday (Oct 15) and Saturday (Oct 16) in the hotel parking lot. Admittedly, such an intimate

event could be held because of the entire support of the owner Ale Sugiarto, General Manager Jerry Lee, bipartite institutions, hotel suppliers, cooperative of the employees, division head and of course all employees. Similarly, great morale and financial support was also reported by Tinggal as Chairman of the Committee. According to him, the quality and quantity of the event should be improved from year to year constantly. For example, prizes for the event had been increased by 25 percent and so had the consumption, it was now more varied. The stage arrangement and decoration was made more attractive, too. Of course, it aimed to make it better and the staff turned more intimate. Meanwhile, GM Jerry Lee in his speech encouraged all employees to keep on pushing themselves in order to achieve the better service quality. It should be good for tourists staying at the hotel, for the company and of course for the employees. The GM from Singapore also praised the event as a forum to strengthen the communication and compactness among the employees. Meanwhile, Public Relations Manager of RBBR, Tia Virlana, highlighted the very strategic location made almost the total 400 rooms occupied. “We are so close to the Kuta tourist attraction and less affected by the crowdedness of the existing road. Additionally, we are situated within easy reach to the Ngurah Rai International Airport,” she said. (055) B N

Shopping Till Drop at Tanah Lot Art Market

HE passage of art living for a Made Kedol Subrata is long enough. As an artist, the man from Teges Hamlet, Gianyar, has passed through winding roads. Assorted ripples of life have been faced by this graduate of the Indonesia Institute of Arts (ISI), Yogyakarta. Moreover, as a pure artist he never gives up when facing thousands of obstacles. “In living the life of art and composing his works, the temptation was normal. Instead, it is excellent for mental forge that is very influential to the results of the artistic process. We consequently turn more mature,” he said in his art studio located in the area of Kampung Tinggi, Teges Hamlet, Gianyar. Prior to arriving at the current condition, Kedol has covered a variety of artistic journey, starting from the rudimentary level of painting, screen printing up to batik making. Two of the latter were even able to add value to the youth in the surroundings of his home so that they could involve deeply in the business of screen printing and batik. Decorative art like the mak-

ing the concrete cliff has ever been performed. Now, the name of this man with three children and three grandchildren is soaring high with spaghetti technique from each of his painting. By means of this unique technique, a Kedol is able to speak a lot in the national and international painting arena. Some countries had been selected to display his works such as Switzerland, Germany and Italy. At home country, the painting of Kedol had been collected by many expatriates and conglomerates in Jakarta. Some objects becoming his favorite paintings are terraced rice field, rice harvest and barong. “They become my mainstay. Probably, those objects are matching the spaghetti technique like tangled noodles,” he said. A painting could be completed between one to three months. It depended on the size of the painting itself. “So far, my fans are still happy with this spaghetti technique especially with the object like harvesting rice or other themes like barong dance,” he concluded.

F you visit Bali, it will be incomplete without making a visit to Tanah Lot. The catchphrase was also often expressed by tourists that had visited the renowned tourist destination for its magnificent sunset. However, one thing left that is not less interesting at this tourist destination is shopping at the Tanah Lot Art Market. Art market existing at this destination is not much different from the Sukawati art market. But, the difference lies in the display of merchandise and convenience of shopping. Many tourists comment that it is more comfortable to do shopping at Tanah Lot because it is cleaner and more orderly. The Tanah Lot art market offers a variety of high quality souvenirs of Bali. This village art market provides varied souvenir items, ranging from miscellaneous beach sarong, shirt, pants, knick-knacks, paintings, and so forth. It can be said that the Tanah Lot art market is the most comprehensive one after the Sukawati art market. Aside from various kinds of distinctive souvenirs of Bali, there are also several cafes offering food and beverages with diverse menus. Are you interested? (BTN/015) B N

“I love Bali Island, it’s a fascinating place of great culture, lifestyle and human potential. At this time and place I would rather be nowhere else on the planet, as Bali should be the picture in the dictionary next to the word “hospitality”. Simply put trough hospitality perspective, it’s nothing short of paradise,” said the man who now serves as GM Bali Mandira Beach Resort & Spa.

ADU I. Frentiu was born and raised in Europe, with more than one third of his life spent in America. He is an international hospitality expert, a man who lived and worked hotels on three continents, well rounded in hotel industry. Despite his important position as General Manager of Bali Mandira Beach Resort & Spa and Vice-Chairman of local hotel association, the Kuta Executive Club, he is a pleasant man and fun company to be around. Mr. Radu had plenty other opportunities he turned down before Bali Mandira Beach Resort & Spa, as the place itself is everything he wanted: an exotic great spot, on a great location, which was looking for an energetic leader with a fresh mind to grow and flourish together. Well rounded for his age, he is one of the youngest GM’s in Bali at 33 years and a man (always) with a plan he also became Vice-Chairman of the regional hotel association Kuta Executive Club, within the first year of living in Bali. Sharply focused on his career, he started in Romania, Europe then continued in USA. Asked about the obstacles commonly encountered in running a hospitality business in Bali and some suggestions to government and stake holders for the future of this island, he said that the island had grown almost exponentially within the last decade if not more, and along with that come problems like traffic, pollution, overcrowding and rapid loss of the “initial” Bali. “Those are the main problems, while the crime rate is still low compared to rest of the world, even in more advanced countries, the problem of bomb and terrorist threat, safety and security still remains a priority even after quite a few years passed since the last bombing in Bali. I take that very seriously, and I am very proud to say Bali Mandira has recently receive a number one in Bali diploma and Gold Medal First Class for Security and Safety Standards granted by POLDA (Regional Police), POLTABES (City Police) and PHRI (Indonesian Board of Tourism) for 2009-2011. Myself and my resort are one of the pioneers in Bali of anti-tsunami programs also, working closely with government expert and BHA director,” he said enthusiastically. In the end of the interview, he also gave his advice to the people who desire a similar career like him. “Despite human ego for recognition and diplomas and titles, the true value resides in experience and the can-do practical attitude. That applies at levels and it starts in life with being happy with your job and who you are, focusing on rather on producing results where you are and sure enough good things will follow, many a time surprisingly good ones. Successful people are happy people, loving what they do, living the dream of what they do, striving to be the best at what they do for a living and enjoying (BTN/Angga/Dewa) it,” he advised. B N

Hatchlings Release—Regional Secretary of Badung, Kompyang R. Swandika and Team Leader of Badung PKK Motivator Mrs. Ratna Gde Agung accompanied by Mrs. Kompyang R. Swandika are releasing turtle hatchlings on the Kramat Beach, Seseh Customary Village. the group at the price of IDR 2,000 per egg. Kompyang R. Swandika said the attention of government in relation to the coastal and environ-

mental conservation was very serious. It was evidenced by a variety of regular activities performed such as the arrangement and cleanup of the beach. In addition,

Badung Regency routinely conducted the greening activities by means of planting trees and establishing abutment to reduce the coastal abrasion. (r) BTN

Tourism Attractions in Badung Regency Nusa Dua It means ‘two islands’ in Bahasa Indonesia. This is one of the premier resort areas in the world. The area is located 20 minutes south of the Ngurah Rai International Airport, Denpasar and is a short drive to many of Bali’s attractions and beautiful beaches. This is the home of many of Bali’s world-class luxury resort hotels. Jimbaran Beach This area is just south of Kedonganan beach and has a very beautiful white sand beach area and clear seawater that is suitable for recreation and relaxation. It is quieter than its neighboring beaches and one will find nice hotels and mostly seafood served at Jimbaran’s restaurants.

Jimbaran is in fact famous for its delicious seafood, particularly its typical grilled seafood with Jimbaran’s ‘secret sauce’. You’ve got to taste it to believe it. Legian, Seminyak, Petitenget Beach These beautiful beaches are several kilometers north of Kuta. Like its neighboring beaches, these offer a refuge for surfers. There are also many facilities for tourists as the result of the Kuta north expansion. Sangeh “Monkey Forest” Sangeh is the village whose northern part covers about 14 hectares of a holy homogeny forest of ‘Pala’ trees with hundreds of monkey inhabitants. The trees cannot be found on any other part of Bali and their existence in this village remains a mystery. Look for a lovely

mossy temple, which is hidden amongst the tall and gracious ‘Pala’ trees. Ayung River Rafting The river Ayung is the longest and largest river in Bali, and along this river, white water rafting was first introduced in Bali. To experience rafting on the river Ayung’s west side is amazing, for besides the enjoyment of challenging rapids, the panorama of this beautiful, intact nature area is highlighted by the appearance of wild animals along the rafting route such as big bats, black monkeys, and more. Uluwatu Temple At the westernmost tip of Bukit Peninsula, this is one of Bali’s nine ‘directional’ Kayangan Jagat temples. The location is dramatic, perched on the

edge of a high cliff with a picturesque sunset view. The temple was first used for worship by the 11th century holy priest, Empu Kuturan, who came to Bali to bring religious law and to form Desa

Adat (traditional villages). The area where spectacular sunsets can be viewed is filled with the scent of frangipani blossoms and is also the home of friendly monkeys.

Turtle Hatchlings Release on Kramat Beach

Bangli, the Only non-Coastal Regency on the Island Bangli, capital town of the regional government of Bangli, which is located precisely in the central part of Bali province, is the only one of the nine regencies in Bali that has no coastal areas. The mountainous area with its beautiful valleys and steep slopes give this northern part of the region its unique side. Mount Abang, the highest peak is about 2.152 meters above sea level. Kintamani, a worldwide renowned tourism resort is located in this northern part. In the southern part of this region, about 100 meters above sea level stretches a broad plain of mostly rice fields. Its geographic background shows its neighboring regions are the regional government of Buleleng in the north,

Klungkung and Karangasem in the east, Gianyar and Klungkung in the south and Badung and Gianyar to the west. Kehen Temple Pura Kehen is one of the most ancient temples in Bali. It is here that

three old bronze manuscripts were housed. The people around the village worship this temple. The ceremony takes place on Rabu Kliwon Shinta where Ngusabha ceremony is held once in every three-year period, which falls on Purnama Kelima around November. This temple is located on the southern slope of Bangli hill, about two kilometers from the town. It is really an historical temple worth visiting. It has a long flight of steps pointing down to the south. It can be reached by any mode of transport through a well kept shafted road, or a short walk from Bangli cultural hall (Sasana Budaya Bangli).

Penelokan Tourism Resort Penelokan (look-out point) is situated on the southern part of Batur Tengah Village, Kintamani district, about 23 kms from the Bangli town or 63 kms from Denpasar, capital city of Bali province.

WHERE TO GO . . .

Clean River Becomes a Desire of City Dwellers HAVING a clean and evergreen city definitely becomes a desire of every single city dweller. However, to make it happen is required a hard work and great concern of all parties. In order to accomplish such an ideal aspiration, the Denpasar Environment Agency continued to conduct various programs. One of them was by taking the community of Ubung Kaja, right the hamlet of Tegal Kori Kaja and Tegal Kori Kangin to perform a greening activity at the riverside and clean up services en masse.

HIS matter was conveyed by the Head of Denpasar Environment Agency AA. Bagus Sudharsana when he was met in the midst of clean-up service activity at the hamlet of Tegal Kori, Sunday (Oct 10). Furthermore, Sudharsana added that such an activity was one of the ac-

tivities committed by the Denpasar Municipality to realize the green and clean river. It was carried out because the river was the source of raw water in Denpasar. He also explained why his party chose the river as the object of sanitation movement at that time because Denpasar located at the downstream and highly vulnerable to flooding. So, to overcome the problems, the rivers passing through Denpasar City should be thoroughly clean and green. “We start first the activity from Tegal Kori and later on the clean-up and greening will be continued to other riversides,” explained Sudharsana. In the recent greening, Sudharsana claimed to plant 700 trees of different species and they particularly related to the demands for

ceremony. The tree planting activities involved the local hamlets existing along the river, the PKK group and village youth clubs. With the direct involvement of local community as that time, according to Sudharsana, would certainly become the responsibility of local community to further maintain the plants and riverside area cleaned up. He expected such riverside clean-up and greening activities could be followed by other villages within the Denpasar City. By doing so, the expectation to realize the clean and green Denpasar could be achieved more quickly. In the meantime, the Village Head of Ubung Kaja, Gusti Ngurah Bagus Arjana, recognized that the riverside clean-

up movement and the greening program coordinated by the Denpasar Environment Agency was excellent to realize the clean and green river. Of course, the impact of the movement could reduce the possibility of flooding hazards. According to Arjana, it had become a collective obligation of the entire community to support the activities as it was for the sake of common interests.

To sum up, it suggested that people were aware that the sanitation and fluency of river’s water was for the sake of common interest. With the activities involving the public directly as that time, Arjana said it would drive people to have a sense of belonging and obligation to participate in cleaning up the rivers. BTN (BTN/R)

ELIEF of the ancient rock stone is located at the Bedulu (Bedahulu) Village, Blahbatuh Subdistrict, Gianyar Regency. Location to Tampaksiring and Kintamani is only about 40 minutes drive from Denpasar City. The entrance to the tourist attraction of holy water is not far from the

main road east of Goa Gajah Temple, to the right, into the village street. Visitors should be careful because there are many road junctions without a clue heading for the object of Yeh Pulu Relief, or ask the way to local residents. The monument in the form of relief becoming the main attraction to tourists, especially foreign tourists, was discovered in 1925 by a courtier or Ubud Royal family. The name was taken from the barrel (or container of rice in the past) located at the central axis of purified water nestling in the west of the relief. The word yeh in Balinese language means water and pulu means a barrel. The appeal of this monument is not only because of the uniqueness of relief sculpture immortalized on the rock stone wall of the hill, but also due to the spread of rice field view along the two-hundred-meters and the

Many researches conducted by experts from home and overseas to recognize the implicit meaning behind the wall relief of the rock cliffs on the hills. As consequence, it drove many commentaries and analysis to uncover the mystery behind the veil of the true meaning of the relief. Overall, the theme of this story recounts the life in the forest atmosphere and daily life in the

ancient kingdom of Bali. In addition to the Balinese classical carvings, this monument also has niches of Bedahulu Royal Hermitage before his death against the army of the Majapahit kingdom in 1343 AD. Yeh Pulu Relief poses one of the many historical classical monuments of Bali originating in ancient Bali (14th century AD) retaining full knowledge of art, which until now is still sustainable and be cared by the members of Subak, as one of the classical organizations that in particular organizes farmers and manage all aspects of rice field cultivation.

Tabanan Regency TABANAN Rainbow over ricefields

Tabanan is the name of one district and town in Bali. Though Tabanan is not really a tourist town there are still some interesting aspects to it. Back in 1906 the Balinese and Dutch were fighting over control of the island. One of the more positive historical points of interest is the Subak Museum, located close to the main bypass road. While the museum itself is nothing special, it documents one of the most important social/economic/cultural institutions in Bali, the Subak. Dating back to 600AD, Bali has been using a system of un-

mechanized rice cultivation and water management. Bali’s ability to produce an endless supply of rice year round is central to its history. The Subak controls management of the watercourses, stretching all the way to the highland lakes. A farmer cannot simply flood all his fields at the same time, or divert a main stream to access more water. The system is intricate and the Subak museum is the place where it’s officially documented. Yeh Gangga, Lalang Linggah and Balian to the west are beach environments around the area. Highlights of the area close to Tabanan include Taman Kupu Kupu (Butterfly Park) in Wanasari and Yeh Panas hot springs. Pura Tanah Lot is a 15-minute drive South from Tabanan. Tanah Lot Tanah Lot, one of the most popular places of interest in Bali, is located on the coast of West Bali, at the village of Beraban in the Tabanan Regency. It is also called Tanah Let, which means ancient land, and also Tanah Lod, which mean the land to the south. The temple Pura Tanah Lot, simple in its construction, is dramatic in its ocean-front location and is one of the main temples in the worship of Balinese gods. Tanah Lot has a long history in the world of tourism. The temple itself is built on a small promontory, which is only accessible at low tide. During high water the rock takes on the appearance of a large boat at sea, such is its shape. Poisonous snakes live in the nearby caves to ‘guard’the temple and contribute to the temple’s dangerous reputation. Sunset is the best time to visit Tanah lot, when the golden red skies frame the temple and waves crash into the rocks. It is advisable to avoid the tourist crush here, as it can be severe.

Klungkung, the Smallest Regency on the Island

KLUNGKUNG Ancient Kingdoms

This is the smallest regency in Bali. It covers only 121 square kilometers and includes three islands, Nusa Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan. Despite its size, its influence on Balinese culture has been powerful. It was here, in the shadow of the holy volcano Agung, that the princes and priests of Majapahit gathered in 1343 to continue the kingdom by setting up ‘Keraton’ in Samprangan, but within a couple of generations, they moved to Gelgel and then to Klungkung, in 1710. In the 16th century the Gods smiled on Gelgel when Dalem Baturenggong reached an impressive political and cultural achievement to earn his ‘golden age’ Kertha Gosa, which is situated in the central town of Semarapura, was the place for administration and traditional justice in the pre-colonial times by a council consisting of the great king and his priests. Next to the Kertha Gosa is Taman Gili, known as a Floating House (Bale Kambang) which was the King’s Guard’s headquarters. These two buildings are decorated with

Kamasan Traditional Paintings. A colonial building, located next to these two buildings, is Semarajaya Museum, collecting some handicraft of Klungkung, pre-historic and historic articles especially those used in the period of Klungkung’s heroic battle. In the southern part of the museum area, there stands the main gate of Semarapura Palace ‘Pemedal Agung’. The newest sight in Semarapura Town is Patung Kandapat Sari, situated at the main junction of Semarapura town. Some people consider this statue as the landmark of Klungkung Regency. Next to this landmark stands an historical monument known as Monument of Klungkung Heroic Battle. This monument is a cenotaph reminiscent of an event that once took place on April 28, 1908. It is well known as ‘Puputan’, a counter-defence of The Great King of Klungkung against the Dutch soldiers. Moving south of Semarapura town along the main road, one will arrive at the ‘under construction’ area of Tourism Villages, home of traditional Painting, Kamasan Village and Bali’s original capital, Gelgel.

If you hail a taxi on the street, be sure that the name of the taxi company is clearly marked on it. 3. Insist on using the meter. Don’t fall for driver who bargains or claims that his meter is broken. 4. In the taxi, note the taxi’s number and the driver’s ID. This may be handy if you want to register a complaint or trace belongings left behind. 5. In places such as Ubud, Sanur, and Kuta there are many people who offer you transportation services. If you must take any of their services, make sure you establish the price up front. 6. There are licenced taxis at Bali’s Airport. Avoid taking services from “brokers” who offer you transportation.

WHERE TO GO . . .

Clean River Becomes a Desire of City Dwellers HAVING a clean and evergreen city definitely becomes a desire of every single city dweller. However, to make it happen is required a hard work and great concern of all parties. In order to accomplish such an ideal aspiration, the Denpasar Environment Agency continued to conduct various programs. One of them was by taking the community of Ubung Kaja, right the hamlet of Tegal Kori Kaja and Tegal Kori Kangin to perform a greening activity at the riverside and clean up services en masse.

HIS matter was conveyed by the Head of Denpasar Environment Agency AA. Bagus Sudharsana when he was met in the midst of clean-up service activity at the hamlet of Tegal Kori, Sunday (Oct 10). Furthermore, Sudharsana added that such an activity was one of the ac-

tivities committed by the Denpasar Municipality to realize the green and clean river. It was carried out because the river was the source of raw water in Denpasar. He also explained why his party chose the river as the object of sanitation movement at that time because Denpasar located at the downstream and highly vulnerable to flooding. So, to overcome the problems, the rivers passing through Denpasar City should be thoroughly clean and green. “We start first the activity from Tegal Kori and later on the clean-up and greening will be continued to other riversides,” explained Sudharsana. In the recent greening, Sudharsana claimed to plant 700 trees of different species and they particularly related to the demands for

ceremony. The tree planting activities involved the local hamlets existing along the river, the PKK group and village youth clubs. With the direct involvement of local community as that time, according to Sudharsana, would certainly become the responsibility of local community to further maintain the plants and riverside area cleaned up. He expected such riverside clean-up and greening activities could be followed by other villages within the Denpasar City. By doing so, the expectation to realize the clean and green Denpasar could be achieved more quickly. In the meantime, the Village Head of Ubung Kaja, Gusti Ngurah Bagus Arjana, recognized that the riverside clean-

up movement and the greening program coordinated by the Denpasar Environment Agency was excellent to realize the clean and green river. Of course, the impact of the movement could reduce the possibility of flooding hazards. According to Arjana, it had become a collective obligation of the entire community to support the activities as it was for the sake of common interests.

To sum up, it suggested that people were aware that the sanitation and fluency of river’s water was for the sake of common interest. With the activities involving the public directly as that time, Arjana said it would drive people to have a sense of belonging and obligation to participate in cleaning up the rivers. BTN (BTN/R)

WHERE TO GO . . . Bali is a bijou island, but the content of traditional values, arts, history and culture is not as small as the area. Artistic heritage, history and culture almost spread throughout the nine regencies and city existing on the Island of the Gods.

ELIEF of the ancient rock stone is located at the Bedulu (Bedahulu) Village, Blahbatuh Subdistrict, Gianyar Regency. Location to Tampaksiring and Kintamani is only about 40 minutes drive from Denpasar City. The entrance to the tourist attraction of holy water is not far from the

main road east of Goa Gajah Temple, to the right, into the village street. Visitors should be careful because there are many road junctions without a clue heading for the object of Yeh Pulu Relief, or ask the way to local residents. The monument in the form of relief becoming the main attraction to tourists, especially foreign tourists, was discovered in 1925 by a courtier or Ubud Royal family. The name was taken from the barrel (or container of rice in the past) located at the central axis of purified water nestling in the west of the relief. The word yeh in Balinese language means water and pulu means a barrel. The appeal of this monument is not only because of the uniqueness of relief sculpture immortalized on the rock stone wall of the hill, but also due to the spread of rice field view along the two-hundred-meters and the

With such a natural atmosphere, the clear and the sharpness of splashing water are always flowing along the trench making the ambience around this object really peaceful and enchanting.

Many researches conducted by experts from home and overseas to recognize the implicit meaning behind the wall relief of the rock cliffs on the hills. As consequence, it drove many commentaries and analysis to uncover the mystery behind the veil of the true meaning of the relief. Overall, the theme of this story recounts the life in the forest atmosphere and daily life in the

ancient kingdom of Bali. In addition to the Balinese classical carvings, this monument also has niches of Bedahulu Royal Hermitage before his death against the army of the Majapahit kingdom in 1343 AD. Yeh Pulu Relief poses one of the many historical classical monuments of Bali originating in ancient Bali (14th century AD) retaining full knowledge of art, which until now is still sustainable and be cared by the members of Subak, as one of the classical organizations that in particular organizes farmers and manage all aspects of rice field cultivation. For tourists who would like to visit this object first should purchase admission ticket of the object, at IDR 6,000 for adult and IDR 3,000 for child.

ATER on, participants were invited to be quieter through various spiritual dances such as the presentation of Kalinga Bali Yatra Dance, namely a collaboration of Balinese-Indian dance representing the greatness of God and the human journey to find perfection and moksha. Echoes of Peace happening entitled Echo of Life and Peace took place at Bajra Sandi Monument, Renon, on Tuesday (Oct 12). Earlier, thousands of participants from diverse ethnic groups and religions performed “Padayatra” namely the process of surrounding the Bajra Sandhi Monument by bringing along 100 meters of white cloth. In the Padayatra procession, all partici-

Tabanan Regency TABANAN Rainbow over ricefields

Tabanan is the name of one district and town in Bali. Though Tabanan is not really a tourist town there are still some interesting aspects to it. Back in 1906 the Balinese and Dutch were fighting over control of the island. One of the more positive historical points of interest is the Subak Museum, located close to the main bypass road. While the museum itself is nothing special, it documents one of the most important social/economic/cultural institutions in Bali, the Subak. Dating back to 600AD, Bali has been using a system of un-

mechanized rice cultivation and water management. Bali’s ability to produce an endless supply of rice year round is central to its history. The Subak controls management of the watercourses, stretching all the way to the highland lakes. A farmer cannot simply flood all his fields at the same time, or divert a main stream to access more water. The system is intricate and the Subak museum is the place where it’s officially documented. Yeh Gangga, Lalang Linggah and Balian to the west are beach environments around the area. Highlights of the area close to Tabanan include Taman Kupu Kupu (Butterfly Park) in Wanasari and Yeh Panas hot springs. Pura Tanah Lot is a 15-minute drive South from Tabanan. Tanah Lot Tanah Lot, one of the most popular places of interest in Bali, is located on the coast of West Bali, at the village of Beraban in the Tabanan Regency. It is also called Tanah Let, which means ancient land, and also Tanah Lod, which mean the land to the south. The temple Pura Tanah Lot, simple in its construction, is dramatic in its ocean-front location and is one of the main temples in the worship of Balinese gods. Tanah Lot has a long history in the world of tourism. The temple itself is built on a small promontory, which is only accessible at low tide. During high water the rock takes on the appearance of a large boat at sea, such is its shape. Poisonous snakes live in the nearby caves to ‘guard’the temple and contribute to the temple’s dangerous reputation. Sunset is the best time to visit Tanah lot, when the golden red skies frame the temple and waves crash into the rocks. It is advisable to avoid the tourist crush here, as it can be severe.

Klungkung, the Smallest Regency on the Island

KLUNGKUNG Ancient Kingdoms

This is the smallest regency in Bali. It covers only 121 square kilometers and includes three islands, Nusa Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan. Despite its size, its influence on Balinese culture has been powerful. It was here, in the shadow of the holy volcano Agung, that the princes and priests of Majapahit gathered in 1343 to continue the kingdom by setting up ‘Keraton’ in Samprangan, but within a couple of generations, they moved to Gelgel and then to Klungkung, in 1710. In the 16th century the Gods smiled on Gelgel when Dalem Baturenggong reached an impressive political and cultural achievement to earn his ‘golden age’ Kertha Gosa, which is situated in the central town of Semarapura, was the place for administration and traditional justice in the pre-colonial times by a council consisting of the great king and his priests. Next to the Kertha Gosa is Taman Gili, known as a Floating House (Bale Kambang) which was the King’s Guard’s headquarters. These two buildings are decorated with

Kamasan Traditional Paintings. A colonial building, located next to these two buildings, is Semarajaya Museum, collecting some handicraft of Klungkung, pre-historic and historic articles especially those used in the period of Klungkung’s heroic battle. In the southern part of the museum area, there stands the main gate of Semarapura Palace ‘Pemedal Agung’. The newest sight in Semarapura Town is Patung Kandapat Sari, situated at the main junction of Semarapura town. Some people consider this statue as the landmark of Klungkung Regency. Next to this landmark stands an historical monument known as Monument of Klungkung Heroic Battle. This monument is a cenotaph reminiscent of an event that once took place on April 28, 1908. It is well known as ‘Puputan’, a counter-defence of The Great King of Klungkung against the Dutch soldiers. Moving south of Semarapura town along the main road, one will arrive at the ‘under construction’ area of Tourism Villages, home of traditional Painting, Kamasan Village and Bali’s original capital, Gelgel.

CREMATION ceremony to the body of the King Peliatan IX, Ida I Dewa Agung Peliatan, 71, will be held by the family of Peliatan Royal Palace, Ubud, on Anggare Gumbreg or the upcoming Tuesday (Nov 2). The King Peliatan IX, Ida I Dewa Agung Peliatan, passed away on August 21. His body is currently being lain down at the funeral home of Peliatan Grand Palace. The deceased posing a descendant of the King Peliatan I, Ida I Dewa Agung Made, denoting the son of the couple (late) Ida Tjokorda Gde Rai and (late) AA Istri Mas, was enthroned as the King Peliatan IX on June 5, 2001. In the meantime, the bathing ritual for him had been performed on Thursday (Oct 7) and coupled with the appointment ritual of Tjokorda Gde Putra Nindia as the successor of the new King Peliatan IX. This cremation ceremony will be recorded in the history because it uses eleven-tiered Bade (medium of body bearer) with the height reaching 25.5 meters.

Hatchlings Release—Regional Secretary of Badung, Kompyang R. Swandika and Team Leader of Badung PKK Motivator Mrs. Ratna Gde Agung accompanied by Mrs. Kompyang R. Swandika are releasing turtle hatchlings on the Kramat Beach, Seseh Customary Village. the group at the price of IDR 2,000 per egg. Kompyang R. Swandika said the attention of government in relation to the coastal and environ-

mental conservation was very serious. It was evidenced by a variety of regular activities performed such as the arrangement and cleanup of the beach. In addition,

Badung Regency routinely conducted the greening activities by means of planting trees and establishing abutment to reduce the coastal abrasion. (r) BTN

Tourism Attractions in Badung Regency Nusa Dua It means ‘two islands’ in Bahasa Indonesia. This is one of the premier resort areas in the world. The area is located 20 minutes south of the Ngurah Rai International Airport, Denpasar and is a short drive to many of Bali’s attractions and beautiful beaches. This is the home of many of Bali’s world-class luxury resort hotels. Jimbaran Beach This area is just south of Kedonganan beach and has a very beautiful white sand beach area and clear seawater that is suitable for recreation and relaxation. It is quieter than its neighboring beaches and one will find nice hotels and mostly seafood served at Jimbaran’s restaurants.

Jimbaran is in fact famous for its delicious seafood, particularly its typical grilled seafood with Jimbaran’s ‘secret sauce’. You’ve got to taste it to believe it. Legian, Seminyak, Petitenget Beach These beautiful beaches are several kilometers north of Kuta. Like its neighboring beaches, these offer a refuge for surfers. There are also many facilities for tourists as the result of the Kuta north expansion. Sangeh “Monkey Forest” Sangeh is the village whose northern part covers about 14 hectares of a holy homogeny forest of ‘Pala’ trees with hundreds of monkey inhabitants. The trees cannot be found on any other part of Bali and their existence in this village remains a mystery. Look for a lovely

mossy temple, which is hidden amongst the tall and gracious ‘Pala’ trees. Ayung River Rafting The river Ayung is the longest and largest river in Bali, and along this river, white water rafting was first introduced in Bali. To experience rafting on the river Ayung’s west side is amazing, for besides the enjoyment of challenging rapids, the panorama of this beautiful, intact nature area is highlighted by the appearance of wild animals along the rafting route such as big bats, black monkeys, and more. Uluwatu Temple At the westernmost tip of Bukit Peninsula, this is one of Bali’s nine ‘directional’ Kayangan Jagat temples. The location is dramatic, perched on the

edge of a high cliff with a picturesque sunset view. The temple was first used for worship by the 11th century holy priest, Empu Kuturan, who came to Bali to bring religious law and to form Desa

Adat (traditional villages). The area where spectacular sunsets can be viewed is filled with the scent of frangipani blossoms and is also the home of friendly monkeys.

Turtle Hatchlings Release on Kramat Beach

Bangli, the Only non-Coastal Regency on the Island Bangli, capital town of the regional government of Bangli, which is located precisely in the central part of Bali province, is the only one of the nine regencies in Bali that has no coastal areas. The mountainous area with its beautiful valleys and steep slopes give this northern part of the region its unique side. Mount Abang, the highest peak is about 2.152 meters above sea level. Kintamani, a worldwide renowned tourism resort is located in this northern part. In the southern part of this region, about 100 meters above sea level stretches a broad plain of mostly rice fields. Its geographic background shows its neighboring regions are the regional government of Buleleng in the north,

Klungkung and Karangasem in the east, Gianyar and Klungkung in the south and Badung and Gianyar to the west. Kehen Temple Pura Kehen is one of the most ancient temples in Bali. It is here that

three old bronze manuscripts were housed. The people around the village worship this temple. The ceremony takes place on Rabu Kliwon Shinta where Ngusabha ceremony is held once in every three-year period, which falls on Purnama Kelima around November. This temple is located on the southern slope of Bangli hill, about two kilometers from the town. It is really an historical temple worth visiting. It has a long flight of steps pointing down to the south. It can be reached by any mode of transport through a well kept shafted road, or a short walk from Bangli cultural hall (Sasana Budaya Bangli).

Penelokan Tourism Resort Penelokan (look-out point) is situated on the southern part of Batur Tengah Village, Kintamani district, about 23 kms from the Bangli town or 63 kms from Denpasar, capital city of Bali province. As well as its beautiful panoramic view, it also offers the beauty of Lake Batur with its crystal-clear water. Mountainous areas serve as the backdrop, combined with the unique graveyard and the Barong Brutuk of Trunyan village which cannot be found any where else in Bali.

Bali should be the picture in the dictionary next to the word ”hospitality”

Villa Kubu has Achieved The Certification of “Safety”.

V

ILLA Kubu Seminyak Achieved Grade First Class(GOLD) in successful Compliance with the Villa Security and Safety Standards among approximately 130 Villa all over in Bali which was handed over by Chief Bali Regional Pilce,Irjen Polise Drs.Hadiatmoko,SH on Wednesday 13 October 2010 at Polda Bali Denpasar,Gede Sukarta as GM of the Villa Proud to present the certificate to the staff concern,this is a marketing tools for us in order to keep a high quality ser-

“I love Bali Island, it’s a fascinating place of great culture, lifestyle and human potential. At this time and place I would rather be nowhere else on the planet, as Bali should be the picture in the dictionary next to the word “hospitality”. Simply put trough hospitality perspective, it’s nothing short of paradise,” said the man who now serves as GM Bali Mandira Beach Resort & Spa.

R

ADU I. Frentiu was born and raised in Europe, with more than one third of his life spent in America. He is an international hospitality expert, a man who lived and worked hotels on three continents, well rounded in hotel industry. Despite his important position as General Manager of Bali Mandira Beach Resort & Spa and Vice-Chairman of local hotel association, the Kuta Executive Club, he is a pleasant man and fun company to be around. Mr. Radu had plenty other opportunities he turned down before Bali Mandira Beach Resort & Spa, as the place itself is everything he wanted: an exotic great spot, on a great location, which was looking for an energetic leader with a fresh mind to grow and flourish together. Well rounded for his age, he is one of the youngest GM’s in Bali at 33 years and a man (always) with a plan he also became Vice-Chairman of the regional hotel association Kuta Executive Club, within the first year of living in Bali. Sharply focused on his career, he started in Romania, Europe then continued in USA. Asked about the obstacles commonly encountered in running a hospitality business in Bali and some suggestions to government and stake holders for the future of this island, he said that the island had grown almost exponentially within the last decade if not more, and along with that come problems like traffic, pollution, overcrowding and rapid loss of the “initial” Bali. “Those are the main problems, while the crime rate is still low compared to rest of the world, even in more advanced countries, the problem of bomb and terrorist threat, safety and security still remains a priority even after quite a few years passed since the last bombing in Bali. I take that very seriously, and I am very proud to say Bali Mandira has recently receive a number one in Bali diploma and Gold Medal First Class for Security and Safety Standards granted by POLDA (Regional Police), POLTABES (City Police) and PHRI (Indonesian Board of Tourism) for 2009-2011. Myself and my resort are one of the pioneers in Bali of anti-tsunami programs also, working closely with government expert and BHA director,” he said enthusiastically. In the end of the interview, he also gave his advice to the people who desire a similar career like him. “Despite human ego for recognition and diplomas and titles, the true value resides in experience and the can-do practical attitude. That applies at levels and it starts in life with being happy with your job and who you are, focusing on rather on producing results where you are and sure enough good things will follow, many a time surprisingly good ones. Successful people are happy people, loving what they do, living the dream of what they do, striving to be the best at what they do for a living and enjoying (BTN/Angga/Dewa) it,” he advised. B N

Rendezvous of Renowned for His Spaghetti Technique Genuine-GoodT Patient in

Staff Party 2010 of RBBR

Improving Employees’ Professionalism STRATEGIC location of Ramada Bintang Bali Resort (RBBR) makes the hotel as one of the prominent hotels in the Kuta area. However, a strategic location only of course is inadequate if not accompanied with employees’ professionalism. Well, this combination is owned by the hotel. RBBR continues to push the compactness of work to produce excellent quality service extended to tourists staying at the hotel. On that account, kinship should be tightened as one of the supporting cornerstones of the professionalism. It was revealed by Chairman of the RBBR Staff Party, Wayan Tinggal Yasa, just before the event was held on Friday (Oct 15) night. Tinggal serving as the Front Office Manager of the hotel accompanied by Public Relations Manager, Tia Virlana, further reiterated the purpose of the event was to strengthen the kinship among the employees of the Ramada Bintang Bali Resort & Spa. The happening held within the hotel area took place cheerfully and lively and attended by the employees along with family and General Manager, Jerry Lee. “This event poses a very important moment as one of the supports of professionalism. It shows the compact and strong relationships among the employees,” said Tinggal from Sanur. Furthermore, Wayan Tinggal explained that such an event was held in two sessions, namely on Friday (Oct 15) and Saturday (Oct 16) in the hotel parking lot. Admittedly, such an intimate

event could be held because of the entire support of the owner Ale Sugiarto, General Manager Jerry Lee, bipartite institutions, hotel suppliers, cooperative of the employees, division head and of course all employees. Similarly, great morale and financial support was also reported by Tinggal as Chairman of the Committee. According to him, the quality and quantity of the event should be improved from year to year constantly. For example, prizes for the event had been increased by 25 percent and so had the consumption, it was now more varied. The stage arrangement and decoration was made more attractive, too. Of course, it aimed to make it better and the staff turned more intimate. Meanwhile, GM Jerry Lee in his speech encouraged all employees to keep on pushing themselves in order to achieve the better service quality.

Shopping Till Drop at Tanah Lot Art Market

HE passage of art living for a Made Kedol Subrata is long enough. As an artist, the man from Teges Hamlet, Gianyar, has passed through winding roads. Assorted ripples of life have been faced by this graduate of the Indonesia Institute of Arts (ISI), Yogyakarta. Moreover, as a pure artist he never gives up when facing thousands of obstacles. “In living the life of art and composing his works, the temptation was normal. Instead, it is excellent for mental forge that is very influential to the results of the artistic process. We consequently turn more mature,” he said in his art studio located in the area of Kampung Tinggi, Teges Hamlet, Gianyar. Prior to arriving at the current condition, Kedol has covered a variety of artistic journey, starting from the rudimentary level of painting, screen printing up to batik making. Two of the latter were even able to add value to the youth in the surroundings of his home so that they could involve deeply in the business of screen printing and batik. Decorative art like the mak-

ing the concrete cliff has ever been performed. Now, the name of this man with three children and three grandchildren is soaring high with spaghetti technique from each of his painting. By means of this unique technique, a Kedol is able to speak a lot in the national and international painting arena. Some countries had been selected to display his works such as Switzerland, Germany and Italy. At home country, the painting of Kedol had been collected by many expatriates and conglomerates in Jakarta. Some objects becoming his favorite paintings are terraced rice field, rice harvest and barong. “They become my mainstay. Probably, those objects are matching the spaghetti technique like tangled noodles,” he said. A painting could be completed between one to three months. It depended on the size of the painting itself. “So far, my fans are still happy with this spaghetti technique especially with the object like harvesting rice or other themes like barong dance,” he concluded.

F you visit Bali, it will be incomplete without making a visit to Tanah Lot. The catchphrase was also often expressed by tourists that had visited the renowned tourist destination for its magnificent sunset. However, one thing left that is not less interesting at this tourist destination is shopping at the Tanah Lot Art Market. Art market existing at this destination is not much different from the Sukawati art market. But, the difference lies in the display of merchandise and convenience of shopping. Many tourists comment that it is more comfortable to do shopping at Tanah Lot because it is cleaner and more orderly. The Tanah Lot art market offers a variety of high quality souvenirs of Bali. This village art market provides varied souvenir items, ranging from miscellaneous beach sarong, shirt, pants, knick-knacks, paintings, and so forth. It can be said that the Tanah Lot art market is the most comprehensive one after the Sukawati art market. Aside from various kinds of distinctive souvenirs of Bali, there are also several cafes offering food and beverages with diverse menus. Are you interested? (BTN/015) B N

HINDU possesses a medical science that has been very renowned from time immemorial, namely Ayurvedic medicine. Ayurvedic medicine refers to the contents of the scripture Ayurveda born thousands of years ago. Ayurvedic scripture denotes a part of Upaweda in the group of Smriti Vedas. However, the Ayurvedic scripture is often confused with Yajur Veda, the scripture containing sacrificial formula that also belongs to Smriti Veda. Yajur Veda itself is a scripture discussing about Yajña or ceremony.

UTHOR of the book Usada Bali (Balinese Traditional Healing), the late Prof. IGN Nala, once said that to help the healing, the Ayurvedic healers usually provided natural herbal medicine having few side effects. Almost all plants existing around us could be eaten, they were medicine. On that account, all plants having efficacy for healing were necessary to be inventoried and developed. In the meantime, the Dean of Faculty of Health Science, Hindu University of Indonesia (Unhi), I Nyoman Prastika, said that based Taru Premana palmmanuscript there were a number of beneficial herbs having the efficacy to cure diseases. Parts of those plants taken advantage consisted of its leaf, flower, fruit, bark or roots. Each herb had different quality such as cool, warm and mild. Then, what kinds of plant could be used to cure diseases? Prastika said that virtually all ed-

ible plants by animals could be eaten by humans. Whether the herbs had medicinal quality, they could be observed from the color of their flowers and flavor as mentioned above. Similarly, the plants frequently used for spices in the cooking contained drug efficacy. Red ginger for example, was good to increase warmth of the body as well as to stimulate or maintain immunity. If red ginger added with the flowers of carambola, bark of tamarind and kalmegh leaves, they could be used to accelerate breathing and relieve cough. Meanwhile, to break up kidney stones and cure colic, people could also use herbal medicine. Its ingredients consisted of roots of reed, roots of palm tree, root of areca nut tree and added with palm sugar. All materials were thoroughly boiled. Afterward, its decoction water was drunk in the morning and afternoon.

Herbal remedies could also cope with cardiac palpitations. Its ingredients comprised the soy beans, green beans, ginger, cumin, fennel, bidara upas (Merremia mammosa) leaf, coriander and pulasari (Alyxia

Stellata). All ingredients should be boiled and then water of its decoction was drunk regularly. Meanwhile, Balinese traditional healing used several palmleaf manuscripts as reference. One of them was Lontar Usada Tiwang. This manuscript described about various types of diseases along with their treatments. Tiwang conveyed numerous symptoms in the form of disorder on the function of organ. There were several types of tiwang presented in the manu-

scripts such as tiwang utara, tiwang tojos, tiwang wedul, tiwang pemali pepasangan, tiwang wong, and tiwang rajasa. Prastika added that tiwang pemali pepasangan had symptoms like prickling pain in the chest and on the back. Being no resistant to the pain, the sufferers often groaned. The disease itself could be treated by means of bark of rauvolfia, temu tis (Curcuma purpurascens), grilled coconut, hazelnut and fennel. It was applied by spraying its paste. (BTN/kmb) BTN

O keep on maintaining the communication and preserving the synergy among the tourism stakeholders, the Kuta Executive Club (KEC) continued to perform regular meeting, Friday (Oct 8). Of course, it had a clear objective leading to one direction, namely to promote the Bali tourism. According to Chairman of KEC, I Gusti Kade Sutawa, syn-

ergy and communication were essential if we would like to advance because by synergy and communication all problems could be resolved under the same perspective and perception. KEC posed an association of general managers of Kuta, Legian and Seminyak area having a member of 32 hotels. He added that tourism issues were very complex ranging from the aspect of safety, convenience,

This artwork featured an artistic collaboration of diatonic music (Adimerdangga) and pentatonic (drum band) by presenting the Garuda Bird storyline dominated by red and white attires. Such art composition was supported by 125 dancers and gamelan players. At the end of the performance passed through a number of students Germany who were studying on the Island of the Gods. More uniquely, some foreign tourists were wearing customary clothing of the archipelago showing the Bhinneka Tunggal Ika or Unity in Diversity of Indonesia.

A number of the parties were present in the meeting such as Director of Tourism Security, IGN Made Adhi S. Putra, Spokesman of Bali Police I Gde Sugianyar, Head of Badung Government Tourism Office Cokorda Raka Darmawan, District Military Commander of Badung ARH Pontjo Wasono K, Chief of Denpasar Metro Police Suryanbodo, Head of the Badung Office of National Union and Public Protection (Kesbanglinmas) I Made Subawa and other invitees. KEC and tourism components highly appreciated the performance of police, especially Detachment 88 that had eliminated the terrorist movements because tourism was very vulnerable to the issues of security and comfort. In the future, the National Police and Armed Forces were expected to improve their intelligence function and speed of movement in revealing both terrorism and the movement leading to crimes. Bali Police was also expected to

expand the standardization of security that previously only covered hotels and villas and in the future it could include all tourist facilities such as restaurants, bars and discotheques to ease the monitoring so that security could be more conducive. Bali as a leading tourism destination currently had powerful competitors such as Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. On that account, we should not be inattentive. All stakeholders were required to act quickly in improving the tourism facilities and infrastructure such as narrow roads and fast action was needed as well to find out the

alternative roads such as flyover, subway or ring road. Likewise, the airport should also be expanded so that it could accommodate wider-bodied aircrafts so that tourist arrivals increased and Balinese people would be getting more prosperous. Bali had just received 3 million and Indonesia 7 million tourists a year. This figure was far lower than our competitors such as Malaysia whose tourist visit reached 15 million, while Thailand and Singapore had already reached 20 million. In addition, government policies should involve all stake holders so that it would yield a satisfactory regulation product for all or the majority party.

Realizing Sustainability of Bali through Tumpek Landep THE depth of spirit retained in the Tumpek Landep Festivity has become the reason of the Government of Denpasar Municipality to persistently hold the event entitled Petinget Rahina Tumpek Landep organized on October 8-11, 2010. The event was inaugurated in person by the Mayor of Denpasar I.B. Rai D. Mantra and attended by Regional Secretary of Denpasar Rai Iswara, Denpasar House and all officials of the regional apparatus unit (SKPD) in the circle of Denpasar Municipality. The opening ceremony was marked by the revocation of kris dagger from its scabbard, Friday (Oct 8).

M

EANWHILE, the Chief of Denpasar Customary Village, A.A. Oka Sweca, serving as Chairman of the Committee reported that with the theme Petinget Rahina Tumpek Landep Nyujur Kejegan Buah Budaya Nusantara was expected to inspire and reinforce the creative action in harmony with the culture and technology. As a result, Tumpek Landep was expected to become a motivator of the business development especially the metal craft and centers of other craft in Denpasar. He added that Tumpek Landep for most Hindu devotees posed the coming down of divine

power of God in the manifestation as the Lord Pasupati. Meanwhile, the word Landep had the meaning ‘pointed’ or ‘sharp.’ Therefore, if translated, the Tumpek Landep had significance that it was the revelation day of the God in the form of sharpness. So, on the day human being as one of the creatures of His creation had the opportunity to receive the revelation of sharpness, namely the revelation to improve the sharpness and control of mind. Sharpness of mind meant here was the improvement of knowledge and ability either physically, mentally or Mayor of Denpasar I.B. Rai D. Mantra is revoking the kris dagger from its scabspiritually.

nent program of children and adult gong kebyar will be staged as usual in a parade. In addition, various other leading programs has now been designed like orchestra of classical music, keroncong (Portuguese-influenced music) and semi-classical music, as well as distinctive traditional art reconstruction of several regions considered to have been rare and deserves to be re-discovered. These ideas came into view in the meeting of Bali Arts Festival 2011 in the Meeting Room of Bali Cultural Services not long ago. Head of Bali Cultural Services, I.B. Sedhawa, recognized various inputs from the experts and thinkers related to the matters ranging from academicians, practitioners, cultural and community leaders would be persistently appreciated positively to find out the best formula in order to meet the expectations of all parties. It was particularly intended to improve the quality of

cultural performances in the Bali Arts Festival 2011. According to him, starting from next year the BAF it was the time to take a critical stance and bold in overhauling the flagship program for a significant change in quality improvement and quality of the cultural spectacle.
