Based on an article from the Denpasar City Government website, the Trans Metro Dewata Bus is a mass transportation which is one of the Bali Provincial Government's efforts to improve public services in the land transportation sector in urban areas, especially Denpasar City and covers several areas outside Denpasar City. The aim of the Bali Provincial Government in creating this program is none other than to reduce traffic jams and individual vehicle pollution. Trans Metro Dewata buses have now spread to various areas in Bali Province. However, its implementation over time is not in accordance with what the government hoped or planned. Most Trans Metro Dewata buses are currently empty without carrying passengers. Most people are reluctant to use public transportation because the stopping points are limited and far away, so it requires more effort to reach them. This also causes the majority of residents to prefer to use online motorcycle taxi applications rather than public transportation. The lack of public awareness of the existence of public transportation also causes a lack of passengers. Payment methods that can only be cashless can be a problem, especially for people who don't have or haven't made electronic money. According to interviews with 15 sources that the author conducted regarding the effectiveness of the Trans Metro Dewata Bus program, 9 out of 15 sources were of the opinion that the implementation of the Trans Metro Dewata Bus program was still not effective, which according to the experience of the sources was caused by several bus drivers who were a little impatient when driving their buses. so that when a motorbike passes in front of the Trans Metro Dewata Bus, the bus driver will honk at the motorbike rider. Then there were also sources who said that the terminal was far away, and there were also those who regretted the fact that the existing Trans Metro Dewata buses were currently empty and did not carry passengers due to a lack of public awareness regarding the use of this public transportation. On the other hand, 6 out of 15 interviewees believed that this program was effective because it could reduce traffic jams, pollution and save petrol costs. However, in reality there are still more sources who say that this program is not effective than those who say that this program is effective. Therefore, the government must pay more attention to this matter, because if it is not handled further it will have an impact on the Trans Metro Dewata Bus program which has been implemented by the government. Several sources also expressed their hope that this problem would be resolved and better in the future, that the government should be able to increase the effectiveness of this program with better solutions so that people would be interested and have the desire to use the Trans Metro Dewata Bus.

Denpasar is a city that is sought after among domestic and foreign tourists because of its rich culture, traditions and unique tourist destinations. However, because Denpasar is visited by many tourists and also has a dense population, traffic conditions in this city are often jammed and obstructed. Air pollution due to motorized vehicles, strong sunlight during the day and rows of stationary vehicles are common sights in Denpasar. Of course, this will make many people feel cramped and disturbed and affect comfort in their activities. This is caused by the large number of people who have private vehicles. Even though there are stops for public transportation in the city, people prefer to drive themselves. Therefore, at certain hours, traffic conditions in Denpasar are very congested because there are so many people traveling at the same time. Private vehicles also produce more smoke than public transportation, thereby affecting the surrounding environmental conditions. Management of public transportation can indeed be a solution to this problem. Developed countries such as America, England, Germany and others have implemented public transportation systems first and can reduce problems due to traffic jams because they are normalized and often used by the residents of these countries. Public transportation already exists in Denpasar, but is rarely used because demand from the public is too low. This is something that the city government must pay attention to so that it can be managed better to increase public interest. Currently, public transportation in Denpasar is public buses which have their own stops or transport places. However, these stops are located in less strategic places. There are still many places that are densely populated and where there is a lot of activity, such as school areas or shopping places and others where there are no bus stops. The current bus stops are not centered in a particular place and tend to be quite far from the places where most people go so that people who want to go to those places have to walk again. Even though it's only a short walk, Indonesians usually prefer to ride motorbikes rather than buses, even though the distance is not far. The government can use the "push and pull strategy" to increase people's interest in using public transportation. This "push and pull strategy" is carried out at the same time to get maximum results. "Push strategy" is a more aggressive and proactive way where the government can encourage people by limiting the number of private vehicles and also special traffic lanes for public transportation so that roads are faster. The "pull strategy" is more passive and is carried out by improving the quality of public transportation itself, such as creating bus stops in places where many people go or special buses to take students to school. If this "push and pull strategy" can be implemented well, over time people will begin to realize the advantages of using public transportation and will use it more often. By optimizing public transportation, I believe we can end the traffic jam crisis in our beloved municipality and reduce air pollution from vehicle exhaust. Let's all use public transportation!
Om swastyastu,
I respect you, Mr/Madam, the jury and the 2024 DPD RI candidates, and I am proud of all the participants of the Bali Public Participation Wikhiton Speech.
First of all, let us express our praise and gratitude to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa because of His blessing and grace this morning we were able to gather and carry out a series of activities for the Bali Public Participation Wikhiton oration competition, here, allow me to deliver a speech or oration entitled The Young Farmer Crisis in Bali
Distinguished guests, the food that we consume and enjoy every day is the result of processing ingredients from agricultural products. Agricultural products in Bali are very diverse, starting from staple foods, fruit and others. However, currently there is a crisis of young farmers in Bali, there are several factors causing it, such as:
1). limited access to capital, technology and skilled human resources, thus hampering the ability of young farmers to increase agricultural productivity and increase their income.
2). The high level of urbanization and increasing education in rural areas has made many young people prefer to work in the non-agricultural sector, such as industry or services.
3). the lack of attractiveness of the farming profession in the eyes of the younger generation, which is considered less prestigious and has the potential to generate low income compared to jobs in other sectors.
I hope that from this problem the Balinese leadership candidates who will be elected in 2024 can provide solutions and provide real action and evidence for this problem.
So let's raise the status of farmers, so that there is no premature extinction, that's all I can say, if there is an error in delivering my oration, I apologize for this. I close by delivering Parama Santhi
Om Santhi, Santhi, Santhi om. +

During the Covid-19 Pandemic, the government needs to revive Bali tourism now and in the future by giving birth and building innovations in Balinese arts programs to increase the creativity of Balinese youth in order to grow the community's economy and the creative tourism industry sector in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. We know that Bali has a lot of arts and culture. those of us who did not rise and die only because of the virus that we often know as corona, a lot of tourism has died in Bali because of the lockdown and also Balinese arts are starting to disappear such as the tradition of the ogoh-ogoh parade, melasti and many more, where tourists are interested in the culture, because of the lockdown, tourism has decreased and there are rarely tourists visiting, apart from Balinese culinary tourism, it is also starting to decline due to current economic problems. The thing that needs to be done is to build self-innovation of Balinese youth in order to increase youth creativity in order to build tourism and the economy. To recover, because we know that tourism is advanced because of the arts. That is the main thing so that Bali can progress again, if Balinese art dies, tourism will not progress and it is also necessary to build new tourist attractions so that the rate decreases. Return and improve relations of places that need to be visited and it is also necessary to carry out an renewal program for places that are not in use. not feasible and make the place a new tourist spot and we introduce it outside Bali. We also know that there are many young people who are indifferent to Balinese culture since the death of Balinese culture due to Corona, we need to build their identity through activities or competitions in order to re-promote youth creativity and be able to compete with foreign cultures and be able to re-promote our culture to promote tourism and economy through our culture, because we believe that many young people are creative but need to be honed again to improve these abilities. We need to carry out massive activities by holding mass art and cultural performances so that residents have the opportunity to witness the return and of course can increase the economy but still with progress. Another thing is to make our culture in a good and attractive package, especially for tourists. Such as preserving Baleganjur, Kecak and Joged as well as the traditions of each village that have long been dead. And hold back the PKB (Bali Arts Festival), because from there tourism can advance and can also introduce the culture that Bali has out.

"Indonesia, and Bali in particular, has lots of beauty to offer. Louis Nagelkerke is not only fascinated by the beauty of the people, but also by all the wonderful things religion has brought the country, such as temples and buddha statues. During his many journeys through Indonesia, Louis noticed that it is a very rich country in many ways. Louis believes that this has a lot to do with the fact that the Indonesian people are proud of their country. When Louis travels through Bali to take pictures for his paintings, the local people enjoy that. Meanwhile, it is not special for them. They live with all that beauty, their rich culture, and traditions every day. They are used to it. When Louis paints Balinese people, he tries to show them how beautiful and rich their culture is, how beautiful they are themselves. For Louis personal[ly], it is important that he, while photographing and painting the people, can make a part of their personality his own. It is a search for beauty, mysticism, culture, folklore, very much related to daily life; the folklore our modern western society lost over the years.
Born February 3, 1949, in Eindhoven
Education in ceramics, window dressing, drawings, and paintings
Well known since the '80s through many exact portraits
His paintings are unique through the expression of mysticism and sphere. His inspirations Louis Nagelkerke finds almost through his vivid relation to the eastern culture and people. Musicians and dancers, especially from the wonderful island Bali. Besides that, his paintings are also influenced through the theatre.
Louis is an outstanding artist and always open-minded to new ideas. +
