Kiwi arrested at Bali airport with meth

A New Zealand woman has

reportedly been arrested at

Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport

on drug charges.

The kiwi was flying from to Bali

from Melbourne, Newshub

reports.

The New Zealand Ministry of

Foreign Affairs has somewhat

acknowledged the arrest,

saying that they are “aware of

the detention of a New

Zealand citizen in Bali.”

The woman was reportedly

found at the airport with meth,

but reports have not mentioned

the quantity of the drug.

New Zealand man Antony de

Malmanche was sentenced to

15 years in prison after he got

caught at Bali’s airport with 1.7

kilograms of meth in his

backpack.

The Port Health Office at Bali’s

Ngurah Rai International Airport

have put thermo scanners in

place as a step to prevent the

spread of the Zika Virus

following a large number of

confirmed cases of the disease

in Singapore and Malaysia.

Quoted by the State News

Agency Antara, the chief of the

Port Health Office at Ngurah

Rai Airport, Lucky Tjahyono,

said on Wednesday, August 31,

2016: “We have provided a

body temperature detection

device. So far, there has yet

to be any indication of a

passenger arriving with an

elevated body temperature.”

The thermo scanner has

been placed at the

international arrival hall at

Bali’s airport.

Members of the Port Health

Monitoring Team are paying

especially close attention on

passengers arriving in Bali from

Singapore.

If an arriving passenger is

discovered with an elevated

body temperature, he or she will

be automatically quarantined

and transported to the Sanglah

General Hospital.

The World Health Organization

(WHO) has identified 60

countries in which the Zika

virus has been confirmed

with 46 of that number

rating their Zika crisis as

“extraordinary.”

The confirmation of more

than 100 Zika Virus cases

in Indonesia’s near

neighbor of Singapore has

put Indonesia on notice to

be extra vigilant to prevent

a further spread of the

disease.

Meanwhile, health officials

in Bali and across the

Nation are calling on the

public to clean any areas

capable of containing

water, close all water

receptacles and bury trash

in order to control

mosquito populations.

Limits of Patience Bali Governor Warns Those Breaking the Law while Protesting the Benoa Bay Reclamation

Will be Brought to Justice

Bali’s Governor’s Made Mangku

Pastika continues to distance

himself from the ongoing

controversy over the

reclamation of Benoa Bay. The

Governor told Beritabali.com

that he has written to the

Ministry of Forestry and the

Environment, the Maritime

Ministry and others in the

Central Government.

The governor detailed his letter-

writing campaign to Jakarta at

his monthly open dialogue with

the public held at the open

pavilion at the Bali House of

Representatives (DPR-Bali) on

Saturday, September 3, 2016.

Pastika explained that he

couldn’t ask the Central

Government to revoke

Presidential Decision 51 of

2014 signed by President

Susilo Bambang

Yudhoyono that removed

the conservation zone

status of the Bay to clear the

way for the mega project by PT

Tirta Wahana Bali Internasional

(PT TWBI) owned by powerful

businessman Tommy Winata.

Pastika said he believes for the

Governor to openly oppose a

Government program would

constitute insubordination.

The Governor said: “I am not

deaf. I am not stupid (bongol).

But I cannot force the President

to revoke (the decree). That

would represent an insurgency

with the lower branch of

government opposing the

higher branch. This can’t be

done.”

A Kuta resident, I Wayan Suata,

attending the monthly open

dialogue with Pastika

complained that the

demonstrations against Benoa

Bat were causing losses to the

people of Bali. Suata said: “It’s

not a matter of being for or

against (reclamation), but the

demonstrations are causing

losses to many people and to

the public interest. Many guests

are experiencing delays at pick

up and many are missing their

flights due to traffic jams

(caused by the

demonstrations).”

The Governor took the

opportunity to remind

demonstrators not to undertake

actions that cause damage and

losses to others. Adding: “Don’t

be anarchists. To cause losses

to many people is the same as

suicide.”

Pastika also said that he deeply

regretted that demonstrators at

the Provincial House of

Representatives (DPRD-Bali)

on August 25, 2016, decided to

lower the Indonesian flag flying

at the building. The Governor,

who was once the Provincial

Police Chief of Bali, said such

aggressive acts violate the law.

“Lowering the red and white

national flag and replacing it

with another flag is an act that

violates the law and disgraces

the Nation. The national flag,

our national language and

national symbols are all

protected under the law. This is

a criminal act and the police are

empowered to take action,” said

Pastika.

Pastika insisted that such acts

couldn’t be ignored. Those

committing such crimes must be

brought to justice and made an

example of as a warning to

others.

Who Needs a Lawyer? Mounting his Own Defense, Australian Man Gets a Light 1-Year Prison Sentence

Shaun Edward Davidson (31)

who at one time faced the

possibility of 7 years in prison

for immigration violations and

using falsified documents, has

been sentenced to only one

year in prison, less time served.

An additional fine of Rp. 100

million was also handed down

in the case that will result in five

more months of jail if left

unpaid.

Prosecutors had asked the

panel of judges to imprison the

man for 1.5 years and apply a

fine of Rp. 200 million.

To the shock of many attending

the sentencing session, the

presiding judge cited as

mitigating factors in the

sentencing the polite and

contrite behavior of Davidson

during his trial.

During the course of the trial,

Davidson fired two sets of court-

appointed lawyers and insisted

on mounting his own defense.

Wanted on criminal charges in

Western Australia, it is expected

that Davidson will be deported

to Australian upon completing

his Indonesian sentence and

arrested on arrival in Australia.

The Province of Bali is in the midst of a

cash crunch due to delays in the payment

of general disbursement from Jakarta

(Dana Alokasi Umum) and shortfalls in

2016 tax revenue collections. As reported

by NusaBali.com, the province now finds

itself Rp. 320 billion short to meet budgeted

expenses in the current financial year.

On Tuesday, August 30, 2016, an

emergency session to discuss the 2016

budget was convened between the

executive and legislative branches of the

Provincial government. Leading the

legislative delegation was the chairman of

the Bali House of Representative (DPR-

Bali), Nyoman Adi Wiryatma of the

Golkar party faction. Meanwhile the

executive branch was led directly by

Bali’s Governor, Made Mangku Pastika.

Also participating was the chairman of

the Provincial Budget Team (TPAD),

Tjokorda Ngurah Pemayun, who also

serves as the Provincial Secretary for

Bali.

Following the 45-minute close door

meeting, the provincial government of

Bali requested time from all parties to

find the needed Rp. 320 billion to cover

shortfalls in the 2016 budget.

In fact, the Provincial Government

needs Rp. 653 billion to meet its budget.

This amount is comprised by Rp. 153

billion in allocations from the Central

Government has been delayed by order

of the Minister of Finance. In addition,

the Province has managed to collect

only Rp. 333 billion of Rp. 500 million in

targeted tax revenues. Therefore Rp.

653 billion less Rp. 333 billion results in

a shortage in funds of Rp. 320 billion.

Apparently no means of meeting the

shortfall in fund was found at the

emergency meeting with officials quickly

leaving the meeting is an obvious state

of concern.

Adi Wiryatama, speaking on behalf of

the legislative branch, asked that a

scale of priority be given to expenditures

designated for public services and

public welfare.

Why the Minister of Finance has

delayed and suspended payments to

Bali remains unclear.

One official, a two-term Regent of

Tabanan, pointed out that Bali has nearly

Rp. 900 billion on deposit that could be

employed to meet current cash shortfalls.

Following the special session by one day,

the Governor convened a press conference

at which he said steps were underway to

keep the wheels of provincial government

turning despite the current cash crisis.

Among the emergency steps now in place

to reduce expenses is a rationalization of

official travel and official meetings. Other

provincial expenditures are also under

review, with cutbacks expected to be

announced soon.

The Governor blamed the inability to reach

the targeted tax revenue of Rp. 500 billion

on declines in vehicle taxes and reduced

rates of taxes from title transfers on

motorcycles and cars.

The removal of taxes formerly paid to the

province from the sales of alcohol and a

slowing world economy were also cited by

the Governor as also contributing to the

current situation.

A German tourist was

successfully evacuated from

Nusa Penida, a small island to

the east of Bali, after being

stranded for nearly 24 hours.

Sieglinde Kaspar, 44, had been

on a snorkeling boat trip with 11

other tourists around Nusa

Penida on Saturday afternoon.

Waters seemed calm enough at

the popular snorkeling spot

Manta Point when Kaspar got

off the boat, but conditions

apparently changed drastically

in minutes as strong waves

pushed her up against steep

cliffs.

Thankfully Kaspar’s guide was

attentive and noticed right away

that she had been pulled out.

The incident got reported to

Basarnas (Search and Rescue)

Bali.

However, even as the rescue

team was deployed and found

the German tourist quite

quickly, Kaspar still had to wait

quite awhile, reportedly hiding

on a rock, under a cliff because

currents were too strong for the

team to approach. So they had

to take a different strategy.

“Since the current was so

strong, the team aimed to carry

out the evacuation by land.

Based on our monitoring, the

victim was still healthy. The

position of the victim was under

a cliff and stuck on a rock. The

waves below the cliffs were

quite large, so we were not able

to evacuate the victim by sea.

We then tried evacuation by

land with rescue efforts

including ropes and buoys,”

Nusa Penida Police Chief I

Gede Arianta told Tribun Bali on

Sunday.

“The evacuation process was

quite difficult,

involving 10

Nusa Penida

Police

personnel, four

water police, and Basarnas by

deploying one helicopter unit

and a boat.”

After about 21 hours later,

Kaspar was finally rescued from

the rock and rushed to a clinic

in Nusa Penida for a medical

exam.

A picture published by Tribun

Bali shows Kaspar smiling,

apparently thrilled to be freed

from her rock prison.

German tourist evacuated after stuck on cliff for 21 hours in Nusa Penida

Bali policeman alleged murderer Briton David Taylor

changes statement about Sara Connor's involvement

Australian Sara Connor’s role in the

killing of a Bali policeman remains murky

as her boyfriend, British DJ David Taylor

has just reportedly changed his

statement.

Connor and Taylor were arrested as

suspects after Bali police officer Wayan

Sudarsa was found dead on Kuta Beach

on August 17.

The Australian mother of two has

maintained her innocence throughout,

even claiming that she was trying to

“protect” Sudarsa from attack by her

boyfriend.

Now Taylor’s attorney Haposan

Sihombing says his client has changed

his statement in key parts concerning

Connor’s involvement to “I don’t

remember” in acknowledgement that

Taylor had been panicked and couldn’t

remember all events clearly, reports the

Sydney Morning Herald.

Anang Hermansyah, the former Indonesian

singer and music producer now

turned lawmaker in the National

House of Representatives (DPR-

RI), was the victim of a robbery

while holidaying with his family at

Villa Elanora in North Kuta.

Beritabali.com reports that Anang

on July 31, 2016, left with his family

for a late afternoon relaxing at

nearby Finns' Bar when he realized

that he had left a camera lens at the

villa.

He asked an assistant, Sriani

Lestari, to travel back to the villa

and fetch the forgotten piece of

camera equipment.

An hour later the National Legislator

received a phone call from his

assistant advising that the camera

bag was missing from the villa and

that his suitcase was discovered in

an open condition.

Further investigation revealed that

the camera bag, four lenses, a

tripod, Macbook laptop, a Galaxy

note, iPad and iPhone 4s were all

missing.

Anang reported the theft to the

North Kuta Police who sent a team

to the villa to investigate the theft.

Police later learned that a young

man had been trying to sell 3

camera lenses, iPad and a

Macbook to a store in Denpasar

where he posed as an immigration

officer to the store owner.

The store owner was unable to

purchase the items from the man,

but reached an agreement to take

the items on consignment.

Police laid a trap for the thief that

resulted in his arrest on Tuesday,

August 16, 2016.

Police arrested a man named

Abdullah Hakim and retrieved the

missing items taken from Anang’s

rented villa.

Police also seized a Honda

Scoopy used by the man from

Banyuwangi, East Java in

committing the theft.

Under police interrogation, Hakim told

police how he gained entry to the villa by

climbing a fence and entering the villa

through an unlocked kitchen door. The

man was known to police and had an

arrest record for robbing villas in Kuta.

Anang Hermansyah expressed his

gratitude to the Badung Police Precinct,

praising the professionalism displayed in

investigating the theft, arresting the thief

and recovering his stolen property.

On Wednesday afternoon, a fourth-grade teacher announces to her class, "Children,

I'm going to ask you a question, and if anyone can answer it correctly, they can take

tomorrow off from school." Of course, this gets the immediate and undivided attention

of all the students. They lean forward in their chairs and listen intently. "All right," says

the teacher, "here is the question: How many grains of sand are there on the beach at

the Oak Street beach?"

Needless to say, none of the

children knows the answer.

The following day, the teach-

er says, "If you can answer

today's question correctly,

you may take tomorrow off

from school. The question is:

How many drops of water are

there in the Lake Michi-

gan?" The children sit in si-

lence, frustrated by the sec-

ond impossibly difficult ques-

tion. Dirty Johnny, sitting in the back of the class, is particularly annoyed. "I'm

gonna fix her,' he thinks. That night, he goes home and paints two golf balls

black. Friday, the teacher says, "Okay, here is today's question..." But before

she can get it out, Dirty Johnny rolls the two painted golf balls to the front of

the room. With a loud clatter, the golf balls hit the wall right below the black-

board. Startled, the teacher looks around the room and says, "All right, who's

the comedian with the black balls?" "Eddie Murphy," Johnny replies. "I'll see

ya Tuesday."

A 60-year-old man is getting his annual physical. “Doc, do you think I’ll live another 40 years so I can reach 100?” he asks. “That de-

pends,” says the doctor. “Do you smoke?” “No.” “Do you drink?” “No.” “Do you fool

around with loose women?“Of course not.” “Well, then,” says the doctor. “Why the hell

do you want to live for another 40 years?”

One day the club duffer challenged the local golf pro to a match, with a $500 bet on

the side. “But,” said the duffer, “since you’re obviously much better than I am, to even it a bit you have to spot me two ‘gotchas.’” The

golf pro didn’t know what a “gotcha” was, but he went along with it. And off they went. Coming back to the 19th hole, the rest of the

club members were amazed to see the golf pro paying the duffer $500. “What happened?” asked one of the members. “Well,” said the

pro, “I was teeing up for the first hole, and as I brought the club down, the jerk stuck his hand up between my legs and grabbed my

crotch while yelling ‘Gotcha!’ Have you ever tried to play 18 holes of golf waiting for the second ‘gotcha’?

At one point during a game, the coach said to one of his young players, “Do you

understand what cooperation is? What a team is?” The little boy nodded yes. “Do

you understand that what matters is whether we win together as a team?” The little

boy nodded yes. “So,” the coach continued, “when a strike is called, or you are out at

first, you don’t argue or curse or attack the umpire. Do you understand all that?”

Again, the boy nodded yes. “Good,” said the coach. “Now go over there and explain

it to your mother.

A farmer stopped by the local mechanic shop to have his truck fixed. They couldn't

do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home. On the

way home he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket and a gallon of

paint. He then stopped by the feed store and picked up a couple of chickens and a

goose. However, struggling outside the store he now had a problem - how to carry

his entire purchases home. While he was scratching his head he was approached by

a little old lady who told him she was lost. She asked, "Can you tell me how to get to

1603 Mockingbird Lane?" The farmer said, "Well, as a matter of fact, my farm is very

close to that house. I would walk you there but I can't carry this lot." The old lady suggested, " Why

don't you put the can of paint in the bucket. Carry the bucket in one hand; put a chicken under each

arm and carry the goose in your other hand?" "Why thank you very much," he said and proceeded to walk the old girl home. On the

way he says "Let's take my short cut and go down this alley. We'll be there in no time." The little old lady looked him over cautiously

then said, "I am a lonely widow without a husband to defend me. How do I know that

when we get in the alley you won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my skirt, and

have your way with me?" The farmer said, "Holy smokes lady! I'm carrying a bucket,

an, a gallon of paint, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly

hold you up against the wall and do that?" The old lady replied, "Set the goose down,

cover him with the bucket, put the paint on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chick-

ens."

Pictures of a bule (westerner) panhandling

at a traffic light in Bali have been getting a

mix of sympathy and criticism since

they were posted to Facebook on

Sunday.

Local media have identified the man

in the photos as German citizen

Benjamin Holst (spellings of his last

name have varied across different

Indonesian media sources) and the

location as a light at Jl. Bypass Ir

Soekarno Hatta in Peken, Tabanan.

“Please help him so he can be

repatriated to his country, because

doing that could help Bali’s image

abroad,” one person commented on

the Facebook post.

While another netizen drew a link

between the Tabanan panhandler and

a German man who is apparently

famous for begging around the world,

in places like Bangkok and the

Philippines.

“He is professional beggar. Did the same in

Bangkok, got help as some people

collected funds, spend the money on party

and continued begging. Just don’t give him

anything,” the netizen advised.

"If the Indo people realy want to help him,

the immigration should put him in jail for

some weeks because of working as a

begger without Appropriate visa. Just

deporting doesnt give him a lesson,” the

netizen continued.

So, could this guy really be the one and the

same German 'scammer' who was found

begging on Bangkok's famous Khaosan

Road back in 2014? Back then, the

German embassy arranged for the man to

fly back home, but he instead skipped out

with donated money for some wild partying

in Pattaya. Sure looks like the same guy—

the man's trademarked swollen foot is a bit

of a dead giveaway!

Last we heard, the German was spotted in

Denmark in November 2014 and more

recently in Manila just several months ago.

Guess he sure gets around!

The airport planned for Gerokgak,

Buleleng will reportedly cater to deep-

pocketed clients, servicing private jets.

But that’s not even all. The airport’s two

big investors, PT Baruna and Sakai

Singapore, not only plan to expand the

airport, but to also build other

supporting facilities such as hotels,

restaurants, a yacht port, and so on.

Investors will apparently require a land

area of 656 hectares: Zone A in

Pejarakan and Zones B and C in the

village of Bumberkima. Both of these

villages are located in Gerokgak,

Buleleng.

Most of the land used for the project is

residential and 3,335 people will be

relocated because of the project that’s

after the ‘panoramic view of white sandy

beaches’ and a quiet gulf, Tribun Bali

reports.

An MoU was signed between investors

on Tuesday, according to the local

newspaper.

Investors claim they are working with

traditional village leadership to socialize

the project and ensure that they will

employ a minimum of 70 percent of

villagers.

Alila Hotels & Resorts has implemented a

“Zero Waste Policy” across its portfolio of

hotels in Bali. The “Alila Zero Waste to

Landfill Project” will launch in August at all

Alila’s flagship properties in Bali; Alila Villas

Uluwatu, Alila Ubud, Alila Manggis and

Alila Seminyak. Each property aims to

eliminate the trash that is a byproduct of

tourism that becomes a permanent part of

landfills that blemish holiday destinations.

Bali has long been renowned for its

stunning landscapes; rice fields,

forests, rivers, beautiful mountains,

and beaches, but in recent years

Bali’s landfill sites have become an

increasing threat to the environment.

Their explosive greenhouse gasses

– which are 20 times more potent

than CO² - are being leached into the

farmland and watercourses used by

the local communities.

In response to this and as a part of

Alila’s commitment to sustainable

tourism, the Company has adopted a

“zero tolerance” to waste. Each

hotel’s PIONEER team (Positive

Impact on Nature, Environment and

Earth’s Resources) is responsible for

upholding their property’s zero-to-

landfill status and ensuring Alila is

not contributing to the problem.

PIONEER teams are also tasked to

look at ways to encourage local

communities and guests to consider

waste and its impact it has on the

environment. Initiatives include

incentivizing waste collection for

local village residents, with primary

school kids will be encouraged to

bring their waste to school, in return

Alila will contribute to the school

fund.

Alila will be investing in an Integrated

Sustainable Resource Recovery

Facility (iSuRRF) and laboratory

where all waste will be transformed

into value and diverted through a

series of simple yet proven technical,

biological and engineering systems.

A full composting system will be

implemented for all organic waste in

each hotel. A permaculture organic

garden will also be introduced to help

develop sustainable and self-

sufficient agricultural ecosystems.

The technology will also

convert otherwise uneconomic

waste plastics like wraps and

films into a light green crude oil

that will be distilled down to diesel,

kerosene, gasoline for reuse in the hotels.

Frederic Flageat-Simon, CEO of Alila

Hotels & Resorts commented: “The amount

of passion and dedication that has already

gone into developing this initiative is

inspiring. I am so proud to be part of a

team that has such a strong commitment to

sustainable tourism.”

Guy Heywood, Chief Operating Officer,

added: “Being able to see the benefits of

our efforts will hopefully bring home the

importance of Zero Waste to Landfill

projects, for our employees, for our guests

and for the local communities.”

Alila Villas Uluwatu was the first resort in

Bali to be a designed and built to “earth

check’s” strict environmental standards.

Alila Seminyak obtained the EarthCheck

“Design and Built” certification in 2014. All

Alila properties in Bali are operated to

Earth Check standards and subject to

yearly audit.
