THE NARROWING AREAS OF RICE LAND IN BALI CAUSE THE SUBAK SYSTEM TO BE THREATENED, TOURISM IS ADVANCED.
Om Swastyastu
I respect the jury. And also, the audience I am proud of.
I express my gratitude to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, because with His blessing and grace, we can gather in the same place on this good day. Ladies and gentlemen who have gathered here at the Bali Public Participation Speech Wikithon event. Today, let me present an oration entitled "The Narrowing of Rice Field Areas in Bali, Causing the Subak System to Be Threatened, Tourism to Advance"
OK, ladies and gentlemen.
Subak is a Balinese irrigation system which functions to regulate the distribution of irrigation flows that irrigate each plot of rice field area according to the customs of Balinese society. The Subak system has been recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage. This is what causes Bali to become fertile because of the subak system, which means that the rice fields in Bali do not lack water. Making rice fields in Bali into natural tourist attractions that are in great demand in Bali, for example in Jatiluwih, Tegalalang Rice Terrace.
Currently, Bali is famous for its very beautiful tourist attractions, because of this, Bali is nicknamed "Paradise Island". However, the impact of tourism in Bali which is increasingly developing has caused many rice fields to be converted into Bali tourism infrastructure and converted into housing complexes, especially now that Bali is being hit by a long drought which is causing farmers to fail to harvest, such as in Penebel, Tabanan, Farmers failed to harvest up to 107 hectares. And the status of Subak land changed to empty land. Then this land can be used as tourism infrastructure and a housing complex in Bali. Of course, this must be taken into account, because now people are becoming less aware of Balinese traditions, customs and culture due to the great influence of today's increasingly advanced technology.
I have said a lot, and I have made many mistakes. Hopefully the tradition of the subak system in Bali will remain sustainable and the Balinese people will still remember this ancestral heritage. I hereby apologize profusely, if any of my words do not match what the audience thinks. I close with Parama Santhi.
Om Santhi Santhi Santhi Om.

Dear Sirs and Madams of the jury
Honorable candidate for DPD RI 2024
As well as all the finalist participants who I am proud of
We would like to express our gratitude to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa for Asung Kertha Wara Nugraha. We can gather in good health at the WIKITHON Public Participation event with the theme Bali Oration.
Dear audience,
On this occasion, allow me to deliver an oration entitled SIRBATA (Underground Parking System) as a Solution for Arranging Parking Lots on the Island of Bali.
Parking can be interpreted as the activity of placing a vehicle in a certain place for a certain period of time. Parking lots are facilities used to support the parking needs of vehicle users. Parking lots can be divided into two, on-street parking and off-street parking.
The majority of Indonesian people, especially on the island of Bali, use private vehicles as the main transportation. As time goes by, the use of private vehicles by Balinese people continues to increase. Based on data from the Bali Province Central Statistics Agency, total private vehicle users in 2022 will increase to 4,079,617 for motorbikes and 493,887 for passenger cars. This increase will certainly have an impact on the community's need for arranging parking spaces to accommodate the increasing number of private vehicles.
As we know, several areas in Bali often find inappropriate use of land as parking spaces, such as roads and sidewalks. This will of course give rise to various problems, namely worsening the road structure and narrowing the traffic area. This is a result of the lack of parking arrangement. Therefore, we propose a system that can be used to overcome parking lot management problems, namely SIRBATA.
SIRBATA (Underground Parking System) is a solution that can be used regarding the problem of arranging parking lots on the island of Bali. This system utilizes the potential of the underground area as a parking area. SIRBATA also optimizes the parking capacity of a space, because of course the use of underground parking will be more focused on one function without disturbing other functions such as the use of parking spaces on roads and sidewalks. The underground parking system has several advantages compared to using open parking lots, namely, parked vehicles can be protected from hot or rainy weather conditions and of course vehicle safety is better maintained.
This system may sound difficult to realize because of the costs and various permits required to ensure the safety of its users, but it is the government's duty to help overcome this problem. The government must be able to work on all factors that support the realization of this system. Imagine if this was not realized from now on. As time goes by and the use of private vehicles continues to increase, we will reach a condition where many things will have their function disrupted due to a lack of good parking arrangements. For example, roads will become increasingly congested because many people park on the road, sidewalks that should function as a place to walk are used as parking spaces. Therefore, SIRBATA (Underground Parking System) can be used as a solution for arranging parking lots in Bali.
Let's work together to create better arrangements for the realization of a safe, comfortable and conducive Bali. Through the cooperation of various parties, we can definitely realize an underground parking system.
Om Santhi Santhi Santhi Om
Good afternoon to all of you whom I respect, as well as the youth, and the people of Bali whom I love.
Before I continue, let us give praise and thanks to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, I would like to say “Om Swastyastu”. May we always be safe thanks to His grace.
On this blessed day, as participation in the Wikithon Bali Berorasi event, let me deliver an oration entitled “Stunting Pinaka Kapiameng Bali’s Future”.
Respected people of Bali,
The young generation is the next generation of the nation that will continue, fill, and add to the development, as well as build Bali towards the “New Bali Era”. However, there is a very important obstacle, namely stunting. Stunting is the impaired growth and development of children due to malnutrition at the age of 1000 days.
Stunting is characterized by a child being shorter than a child with normal development. Not only that, during their cerebral and physical development, children are very quickly exposed to disease. Young children who experience stunting are also hindered in socializing, emotions, and thinking. According to UNICEF, young children who experience stunting usually have less intelligence than children who are not affected by stunting.
This problem of stunting, should be quickly recognised by the policy owner or the government, especially the Bali provincial leader who will be elected in 2024. If this is not considered by the government, the hope to reach a “New Era Bali” will only be a dream, unattainable because it cannot build a young generation that has critical thinking and intelligence, who will become the leaders of Bali in the future.
My respected audience,
Whoever will be the leader of Bali in 2024 should really pay attention to the disease that causes stunting. What can help solve this problem is building drinking water infrastructure, conducting Supplementary Feeding Programs (PTM) for children and pregnant women to complement their body nutrition, checking the growth and development of toddlers, providing vaccinations for children to prevent viruses that interfere with child development.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The young generation can be a weapon to reach the “New Bali Era”. Let us beware of the dangers caused by stunting that can hinder or hamper the development of this island of the gods. Together with the young generation, towards the New Bali Era.
That’s all I can say today. If there are any mistakes in my speech, I ask for forgiveness. Klungkung Semarapura, kirang langkung nunas pangampura (Balinese saying which means begging for forgiveness if something goes wrong). Allow me to end this speech with paramasantih.
Om Santih Santih Santih Om
dear my fellow countrymen
Elections are the pillars of democracy, the foundation of justice and popular representation. But, unfortunately, there is a dark shadow that threatens the integrity of this process: the practice of bribery. Bribing elections is an act that undermines the soul of our democracy, shakes people's trust, and brings us to the brink of injustice.
Brethren, we must realize that bribery is not an act of pride, but a reproach of the democratic values we uphold. When we celebrate voting rights as a privilege, bribing is a betrayal of the right itself. This is not the way to build a just and just future.
Elections should be the stage where ideas and visions for progress compete fairly. Bribing will only create inequality and enrich the few, while depriving democracy of the rights of many others.
Let us together reject this practice of bribery. We must unite in a spirit of honesty, integrity, and responsibility. Remember that the strength of a nation lies in its citizens' unity and trust in the democratic system.
Brothers, let us make the election a reflection of the noble values of this nation. Choose leaders based on their capacity, integrity, and dedication to serving the people. In this way, we can ensure that every vote is respected and every citizen feels the positive impact of the election results.
Together, we build a just future that free from the shadow of bribery. Let's aim to make each election a significant step toward achieving justice and prosperity for all of us. Regards +

Om Swastyastu, Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb., Peace be upon us all, Shalom, Namo Buddhaya, Greetings of Virtue, Thank you to all readers who will read this speech of mine. I, Cellin Aulia Nur Shendi Ansyah, a second year student of SMA Negeri 2 Abiansemal, will give a speech about the steps the government must take to overcome the congestion problem in Bali.
The problem of congestion is a condition that often occurs in various places, especially in Bali. This can cause public discomfort. But it is also undeniable that this congestion can also have an impact on something else such as the economy and the environment.
Traffic jams that occur in several places cause wasted time of road users because in traffic jams it takes several minutes or even hours to be able to cross the road to their destination. Not only that, if a businessman experiences congestion problems on his way to his client, it is possible for conflicts between the businessman and clients who want to cooperate. Thus, the economic impact is also affected by the problem of traffic jams. Even if using public transportation will also cause problems in time efficiency because, public transportation will stop at many stops (Halte) so it is considered by some people that the use of public transportation will only slow down the journey to the destination.
The second environment, congestion if it occurs for a long period of time will cause pollution pollution in the air due to vehicle fumes used by motorists, both motorbikes and cars. This is because vehicle exhaust fumes emit gases that are harmful to the environment, namely in the form of CO gas or carbon monoxide which is one of several types of greenhouse gases. This gas can not only pollute the environment and respiratory organs of humans or living things but can deplete the ozone layer in the earth's atmosphere.
To overcome congestion we must actively participate in maintaining the impact of congestion by helping government programs. However, the prohibition on people to buy vehicles is not a solution for people to use public transportation, because in the past Bali had had Trans Sarbagita public transportation, then now Trans Metro Dewata and some services that are not in such a form. However, public transportation did not go well as expected. So, the government should let people buy as many vehicles as possible, but only one is used. Thus the government still gets vehicle taxes. So, it is actually not a problem for people to buy many vehicles but their use must be regulated. In addition, the government must also plan sustainable programs for smart urban planning and develop alternative routes and widening roads as an effort to overcome congestion problems so that traffic flow is more efficient. In addition, the government has the right to build other public transportation systems such as LRT (Light Rail Transit) as an effort to solve congestion problems.
This important way should also not be forgotten is to provide socialization to the community about the importance of minimizing the use of private transportation because using it can have a big impact on other drivers, the environment, and even globally. The public, allowed to have many vehicles, it's just that in their use they must follow the rules, which is enough for one to be used.
Then, what about foreign tourists who are traveling to Bali? The government is expected to plan sustainable and efficient programs so that the opportunity to get to know the island of Bali is greater if infrastructure development, completion of LRT construction and alternative routes are also the best solution so that foreign tourists can easily access routes to get to their tourist destinations.
In conclusion, the most appropriate way to overcome congestion problems requires encouragement from various engagements ranging from government initiatives, community participation, and responsibility and awareness from each individual. This is a big challenge for the entire community, especially in Bali, so efforts that can be made to produce sustainable solutions are long-term we must work hand in hand in a collaborative way. Let's show cooperation to build solutions to the problems faced by all of us in the form of traffic jams, and so that we all get comfort while enjoying a sustainable and harmonious lifestyle.
Well, to the readers I thank you for reading my speech. I apologize if there is a mistake that is not pleasing to the heart of the speech I gave about the steps that must be taken by the government to overcome the congestion problem in Bali. I cover with paramasantih
Om Santih, Santih, Santih Om, Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb., Peace be upon us all, Shalom, Namo Buddhaya, Greetings of Virtue.
The struggles of Balinese women take on a new life in the art work of Lombok-born Balinese artist, Satya Cipta.
“My approach to every artwork revolves around a question to myself and mostly other women,” she said. “What is a woman in Bali? Are we ‘complementary’ beings? Are we social creatures made to accompany men live their lives?”
Her work draws on social reality with a strong substance of feminism. She does this whilst preserving artistic teachings from Balinese traditional techniques, which she believes should be a national asset, in hopes to imbue an authentic Balinese spirit in full, sans western influence.

Scion Charlotte Spence has a plan for all you luxury, globe-trotting party vagabonds. Behold the House of Karma.
Charlotte, can you give us a brief background of who you are, and what brings you here today?
Hey, of course! This feels like a first date. I’m a 26 year-old Brit, currently based between Sydney and Bali (the dream!); I moved over to Australia for university about six years ago and have been lapping up the sunshine ever since. I’m really excited to be chatting to you today and keen to share a fun new project I think you’ll like the sound of . . .
What are your current passions?
I take after the rest of my family, so travel is really important to me and has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Nothing excites me more than exploring new cultures. I’m also a drama kid at heart so I love the theatre, live music, fine dining . . . or just a good old party to be honest.
IG @Atomic.Blonde_ Who is she and when did you discover her?
Haha! Atomic Blonde is my latex-wearing, tech house playing, DJ alter ego! I discovered her about four years ago, when I realised I could turn ‘playing my favourite music to my friends’ into a viable side hustle. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to play a whole host of my favourite events in Australia, alongside my DJ partner ‘Dutch Kiss’. We’re all about self-expression, uplifting music and high camp fun.
You are about to launch House of Karma. Briefly, tell us what it is?
House of Karma is an U35 members’ collective for the world of luxury travel and experiences. Drawing on the beauty of Karma’s current resorts, we’ll soon bring this to the next generation of ‘luxury rebels’, with pop-up festivals, wellness retreats, out-of-the-box experiences and networking events, both at Karma destinations and in our members’ home cities.
You are finally working for your father?
I am, and it’s really quite lovely so far! Dad and I have a lot in common in that we both have that entrepreneurial streak, and see Karma more as an entertainment industry than a hospitality one, so it’s great to have that initial common ground with my ‘boss’. I’m also massively inspired by him and have been my whole life, so working alongside him is a privilege I don’t take lightly. Pitching to him is still rather scary though – he’s tough!
Do you have any other siblings joining the ranks?
Yes! My sister and brother are both a bit younger so still at Uni and school but I have every confidence that they’ll be joining me soon. My sister is heading to do her first Karma sales training in India in a couple of months and I’m sure my brother will follow suit – once he finishes tearing it up on the school cricket pitch of course!
What are the strengths and touches that you, as a woman, will bring to what is typically seen as a male dominated service, a members club?
Oh, good one. I firmly believe that everyone should have a seat at the table or a foot in the door, and so I’d like to think that what I’ll bring to the world of members clubs is a whole heap of inclusivity. Yes, of course, there is an element of ‘selection’ involved, but I actually like to refer to House of Karma as a ‘collective’ rather than a ‘club’. Essentially, if you’re ambitious, open-minded, and down for one hell of a party, then we’d love to have you at our place.
What type of person would a HoK member be?
A House of Karma member is someone just like me; a luxury rebel, pampered vagabond, or hedonist who craves the unexpected and the reprieve from routine. We’re chatty, ambitious, and always looking for the next big adventure . . . with a side of fabulous!
Can you tell us more about the Bali launch?
Absolutely. We’re planning a huge party down at Karma Beach to celebrate our big launch on 13th June. After a VIP long lunch we’ll be opening the beach up to the masses, with drag queens, international DJs, signature ‘House of Karma’ cocktails and a whole lot of dancing in the sand. Come by and get a sense of what we’re all about!
And the international roll out?
Following this, we’ll be hosting our first ‘Founding Member’ networking events in Sydney and Perth, taking that signature Karma experience to Australia, before expanding across the globe later in 2023.
House of Karma is highly inclusive. Can you tell us about some of the LGBTQIA+ events you have in the planning?
Inclusion is something I am hugely passionate about and will never stop fighting for, and so at the heart of the House of Karma will be HEAPS of events for my LGBTQIA+ icons and allies. Think ‘detox and retox’ retreats at Karma destinations post-Mardi Gras, LGBTQIA+ networking nights and hot parties co-hosted by queer clubs all over the world.
More bang for your buck. Can you tell us what perks and privileges members can enjoy on joining?
It’s honestly a bit of a ‘too good to be true’ thing! Our members will benefit from nights of free accommodation at our resort destinations, huge discounts across spa, F&B and rooms year round, a bespoke ‘pimp my villa’ package, and invites to exclusive events both at Karma resorts and in their own cities! And that’s not even to mention all the members-only experiences we’ll be curating – think boat parties on the Nile, party weeks in Mykonos and a glamping festival on Gili Meno…
How does the House of Karma benefit from the global aspect of the original Karma brand?
I think that is what makes us unique. Karma already has so many breathtaking destinations, so half my work is done in that respect! Now it’s just about leveraging those locations and turning them into the perfect playground for all my like-minded House of Karma souls.
And vice versa, how does the group benefit?
To quote my father, “any great company recognises the need to evolve as new generations emerge” and I think that is just what we are doing here; moving with the times and bringing a whole new tribe of ambitious, experience-seeking young vagabonds into the Karma fold.
Lastly, you are looking to create global FOMO around HoK member’s wristbands. Any hints at how you intend to achieve this?
This is something I’m excited to see evolve. Let’s just say I hope to see House of Karma memberships soon become a must-have fashion statement. Get ready to see an influx of ‘HoK’ bracelets hitting the wrists of those around you soon . . .

As the Head of the Balinese Tourism Ministry, I congratulate and thank you for the fourth Public Participation Wikithon competition organized by BASAbali Wiki. This competition is very useful during the COVID-19 pandemic. Why is this? First, based on the competitions held, the government can get input or suggestions from the Balinese community about what efforts can be made to restore Bali.Please, millennials, help the government. Give us some useful ideas so that we can revive tourism in Bali as it was or even better in the future. Second, teenagers or millennials, do not hesitate to speak out about environmental and cultural issues in Bali. The Balinese government needs your ideas, to resuscitate tourism in Bali. If the young or millennial generation can synergize their ideas with the government through this wikithon competition, then the development of Bali in the Nangun sat kerthi loka Bali” vision will be realized (ie respect for Balinese customs, traditions, art and culture, wisdom and language). +
OM Swastyastu,
Let us reflect together on the impact of forced cultural and political unification, especially in the context of the ban on celebrating the Balinese holiday of Pengrupukan during elections. This coercion can create outrage by harming cultural practices that are integral to people's lives. So, to what extent should we give up cultural celebrations in favor of often questionable political interests? Governments, especially local governments, should be smarter in understanding and protecting cultural heritage as a community right. Only with wiser policies, considering cultural values, can we create true harmony and genuine peace.
The prohibition of historic culture is not simply a religious or cultural matter, but involves the right of communities to practice their traditions without intrusive interference. I strongly emphasize the urgency of incisive dialogue, unequivocal respect, and a policy full of sarcasm to respond to issues like the Pengrupukan ban. Only through this approach can harmony between culture and politics be truly realized. The government should not only listen, but also act swiftly for the survival of such a precious cultural heritage.
Whoever is elected, let them not only drown in the pleasure of being in power, but also introspect that cultural diversity is not a toy that can be trampled on. A wise leader is not just good at talking, but is able to defend the cultural wealth of the homeland, not destroy it for the sake of narcissistic personal ambition. So, let's choose leaders who not only know how to play politics, but also understand the art of maintaining harmony in diversity.
Thank you, OM Santhi, Santhi, Santhi OM. +
Shelly tells stories about her parents and ancestors in original travel trunks from the Dutch East Indies. For example, the old travel suitcase, which was used by her mother on her boat trip with her family from the Indies to the Netherlands in 1950, has been transformed with antique batik fabrics and nostalgic old family photos into a work of art. The travel suitcase is no longer tucked away in the attic, but is now displayed as a sort of sound box of memories of her family's life in the Dutch East Indies. +

Kusamba salt is a traditional Balinese organic salt which is said to be one of the best salts in the world. Salt produced in
Kusamba village, Klungkung Regency, Bali Province. As an organic salt, Kusamba salt does not use chemical ingredients, Kusamba
salt is said to be organic because the way it is made still relies heavily on nature. Sunlight and heat are friends of Kusamba
salt farmers. The way it is made is still done in the traditional way. However, now, this traditional business is increasingly
threatened with bankruptcy. The selling price of this high quality salt is less profitable. On average, farmers sell it for IDR
1,200 per kilogram, during the rainy season the selling price only reaches IDR 3 thousand per kilogram. Another problem is
that kusamba salt is made traditionally and the production is limited. This is the basis for starting a system that is able to
increase salt production from generation to generation. Then, what is the solution?
The solution that can solve this problem is to use a tunnel system. In simple terms, a tunnel system means adding a storage
container with the help of a geoisolator and cover, then stringing it together like a tunnel. This system. allowing salt farmers
to continue producing during the rainy season. Additionally, with. With this tunnel system, salt farmers are able to produce
tens or hundreds of kg of salt per tunnel. Apart from that, other benefits such as
1. Make salt harvest time faster
2. Farmers can carry out the harvest process at night.
3. Save energy and time in filling the salt production area with sea water.
4. The quality produced is not much different from previous production with mangers.
According to salt farmers, through the production of this tunnel system, salt farmers gain many benefits in its production and
marketing. Apart from salt, the water found during the salt harvest can be sold for around Rp. 80,000.00 35 liter jerry cans.
This salt water can be used for the thickening process for making tofu production. Please note that the tunnel system used by
Kusamba salt farmers is a simple technology assisted by the collaboration between the Ministry of Social Affairs and ITS.

In daily life, there is a disposal process involving materials such as leftover food that becomes waste. Waste is the residue of human daily activities and/or natural processes that is solid in form. Waste often refers to unwanted or unbeneficial residual materials for humans.
Denpasar, as one of the leading tourist cities in Bali, faces a serious challenge in managing waste accumulation. With the increasing number of residents and tourists each year, this problem becomes increasingly urgent to address. However, amidst this challenge, there is a glimmer of hope through the Zero Waste initiative carried out by SMK Negeri 3 Denpasar.
Waste accumulation in Denpasar has become a primary concern for the local government and community. Amidst its natural beauty, waste piles can damage the environment and disrupt tourism. However, SMK Negeri 3 Denpasar has taken proactive steps by introducing the Zero Waste concept to its students.
Zero Waste is a lifestyle philosophy aimed at reducing, reusing, and recycling all produced waste, so that nothing is disposed of in landfills. This initiative has changed students' perceptions of waste, from something to be discarded to a resource that can be reused.
One of the activities carried out in the Zero Waste program at SMK Negeri 3 Denpasar is the management of organic waste. Students learn to compost organic waste into fertilizer, which is then used to produce green plants in the school environment. Thus, not only reducing the amount of waste entering landfills, but also producing positive benefits for the environment.
Additionally, the school encourages students to use eco-friendly products and reduce the use of single-use plastics. They practice using tumblers and cloth shopping bags as alternatives to plastic bottles and plastic shopping bags. These small steps have a significant impact on reducing the amount of plastic waste polluting the environment.
Moreover, SMK Negeri 3 Denpasar is also active in environmental cleanup campaigns. Students participate in activities cleaning beaches, rivers, and other public areas as part of their social responsibility. They not only clean up existing waste but also raise awareness among the community about the importance of maintaining environmental cleanliness.
The Zero Waste initiative from SMK Negeri 3 Denpasar not only helps reduce waste accumulation in Denpasar but also serves as an inspirational example for other schools across Indonesia. By educating the younger generation about the importance of the environment, we can ensure a more sustainable future.
Through collaboration between the government, community, and educational institutions like SMK Negeri 3 Denpasar, we can achieve the dream of having a clean and sustainable Denpasar. Every small step has a significant impact in our fight against waste accumulation and preserving the beauty of nature for future generations.
I thank you for your time to speak to us today.
Recently, there has been a lot of news related to the number of motorists, especially motorcyclists, who have committed drunk driving on public roads. If the government is more responsive in preventing drunk driving on public roads, such as money, this new incident occurred on November 15, 2023 on the bypass road in Ngurah Rai, Denpasar, Bali.
A possible solution to protect the safety of riders and especially motorists is to conduct night patrols in crucial areas where there are often fogs and tracks on the roads. +
