A golden Indonesia is a time that we really long for, a time when after 1000 years of independence, Indonesia is a time that gives hope for the welfare of the people. There are many things that can help realize this golden Indonesian era, one of the two most influential things is the QUALITY OF YOUTH and GOVERNMENT INTELLIGENCE.
The quality of teenagers in Indonesia itself is very low, we can see from the evidence in the field that there are still many teenagers who cannot get the essence of a sentence. This is influenced by the education system which does not provide space for children to express all the ideas they have, the education system in Indonesia still places great emphasis on recitation and monotonous methods, even though there is a solution from the government regarding independent learning methods which are considered to be the solution to this problem, I felt it needed to be developed. Therefore, the government must think one step further to develop the education system in Indonesia, because this is a function of the intelligence of the leaders that we hope for in order to create sharp knives for teenagers.
Don't forget the stunting problem experienced by children in Indonesia, this causes many children to grow and develop with very, very minimal brain capacity. Is there a solution from the government?
Of course, we have to consider this together, because it is only through children and teenagers that the Indonesian nation can achieve its desire to become a golden Indonesia, which is likely to be just a fantasy.
Hopefully, through this media, the government can consider things that are really urgent for it to do, and can lead the Indonesian nation towards a golden Indonesia with the Sharp Knives of Youth. +

Om Swastyastu
Good morning ladies and gentlemen. First of all, let us give thanks to The God because of the grace, all of us can gather today to take part in the Wikithon Public Participation Balinese Oration in good health. Today I will explain water problems in Indonesia.
If we talk about water for the Indonesian people, it is no longer strange. The Indonesian nation is a maritime country whose territory is surrounded by water. If calculated using numbers, around 75% (seventy five percent) of Indonesia's territory is surrounded by water. Therefore, many people make a living from the waters. Water is the basis of life for all living creatures on earth. Because water has enormous uses for life, many problems arise involving water. Based on a report from the Indonesian Ministry of Environment, it is remembered that the water deficit in Bali has been visible since 1995 at a total of 1.5 billion cubic meters/year. This deficit continued to increase to 7.5 billion cubic meters/year in 2000. Then, in 2015 Bali had a water shortage of 27.6 billion cubic meters/year. Water demand in Bali in 2021 will reach 5951.92 liters per second and it is estimated that in 2025 it will increase to 7991.29 liters per second. Meanwhile, water availability from infrastructure will reach 6939.38 liters per second or a deficit in 2025.
The problem of the water crisis which is gradually increasing is caused by two factors, namely global warming and human activities. Global warming causes several problems that are the main characteristics of marine problems. Such as flash floods or tidal floods. There is also an increase in sea levels which causes erosion on beaches. Things like that are very important to pay attention to. Increasingly rising waters cause more and more land areas to be covered by sea water, while the human population on earth is increasing day by day. This creates a new problem, namely the transition of land and forests into residential areas. This land transition will cause the high temperature on earth and the narrowing of water catchment areas to increase.
The second cause is because of humans. Tourism in Bali is like a double-edged sword, on the one hand it really helps encourage the progress of Bali's economy, on the other hand the impact of this causes more and more land to be used for tourism, so that water catchment areas which should be able to be used as water reserves when the summer slowly narrows and eventually disappears. Apart from that, in this era of development, a lot of household waste and industrial waste are simply thrown into nature, causing pollution. Like the phenomenon of the Badung River water turning red in November four years ago, this proves that liquid waste that is disposed of without processing is very dangerous for the environment. If the waste is disposed of on a large scale, the results will immediately look like the Badung River phenomenon. However, what if the waste is disposed of on a small scale, such as household detergent waste? We need to realise that little by little this liquid waste will start to accumulate and in the end it will also trigger pollution in large rivers. You also give attention about rubbish, because many people throw rubbish in inappropriate places, causing environmental damage. Polluted river water will return to the sea. If this problem is not addressed immediately, it is possible that humans will become extinct due to various diseases that arise from dirty water.
Before the water problem gets worse and causes loss of life, it is hoped that the leaders of Bali in 2024 will immediately prevent this. One way that can be done is training and guidance in creating home wastewater treatment installations so that the water is safe when discharged into the environment. Apart from that, the importance of understanding waste sorting and processing is also needed by the people in Bali. Let's work together to protect our earth for a sustainable future. That's all I can say, sorry if there are any wrong words.
Om Santhi, Santhi, Santhi, Om
Garbage - in the village there are lots of people who throw rubbish carelessly, I propose that the future leader of Bali provide a rubbish collector

Om Swastiastu. First of all, let's give thanks to the presence of God Almighty because, by His grace, we can gather at the Bali public participation Wikithon event to give speeches. Distinguished guests, allow me, Kadek Khristina Cantika Putri, I am from the SMK N 2 Seririt school, and I am delivering a speech about "Naughty Foreign Tourists".
Tourism in Bali is growing, so many foreign tourists come to Bali to enjoy their holidays. Tourists who come from various countries. As is known, various news reports show the bad behavior of foreign tourists. For example, when there was a dance performance at a temple in the Ubud, Gianyar area, there was a female tourist from Germany who was not wearing clothes or was naked. There are also tourists who violate traffic in the Bali area, and there are many more mischiefs done by tourists while on holiday in Bali. The Ministry of Tourism and creative economy must issue regulations regarding procedures for traveling in Indonesia, and all relevant government agencies must collaborate more intensively with the Indonesian embassy in the country of origin of tourists regarding the provisions for traveling in Indonesia.
This naughty behavior is what the government must be wary of, and the government must increase tourist control so that similar incidents do not happen again and Bali tourism continues to run well and many tourists come. That's all I can say. If there are errors, please forgive them and thank you for your attention. Om shanti shanti shanti om. +
Tyra Kleen (29 June 1874 - 17 September 1951) was a Swedish artist, author and women's rights activist. Her paintings, illustrations, lithographs and publications were important to the Swedish fin de siècle art movement. But above all she was an independent ethnographical researcher.
In 1919, after WWI, she traveled to Java and Bali on a Swedish cargo ship. In Solo (Surakarta), Kleen worked with Beata van Helsdingen-Schoevers to write an anthropological study on the ritual court dances of Solo. Both also participated in the dance lessons. Kleen felt that dancing not only involved making the right movements on the sound of music, but that it also involved the transition into an altered state of mind to become in harmony not only with oneself, but with the Universe.
Unfortunately, this project ended in July 1920 in turmoil due to clashing personalities, and van Helsdingen-Schoevers died 17 August 1920 of an unknown disease. The project was finished in 1925 with help from "Volkslectuur" (the commission of folk literature), Mabel Fowler and miss Gobée, wife of the Head of the Office for Internal Affairs, titled "The Serimpi and Bedojo Dances at the Court of Surakarta", with 16 pages of text. In July 1925 there appeared a new edition with 30 pages of text. The coloured plates were reproductions made by the Topographic Service of Kleen's drawings. For everyone involved, but especially Kleen, the result was very disappointing, because she wanted to participate in this project in order to result in a standard reference work that could be presented worldwide.
When she arrived in Bali in 1920, she started a new project on the mudras, or ritual hand poses, of the Balinese Hindu priests with the assistance of the Rajah of Karangasem, Gusti Bagus Djilantik, whom she had met in Solo the year before, and of Piet de Kat Angelino. This was a turning point in her career because de Kat Angelino was able to explain to her the mudras and also encouraged the priests to cooperate. He was district-officer (controleur) of Gianjar and Klungklung for over a decade and had been collecting material on Balinese priests for years in his home in Gianjar. At his home, she could draw priests and their mudras. Their work together is presented in the book Mudras, with text and illustrations by Kleen, who acknowledged that much of the technical information about the poses and ceremonies came from de Kat Angelino and later on from R.Ng. Poerbatjaraka. Kleen spent the whole of 1921 in Java, working on the material collected in Bali the year before. She exhibited her pictures of the priests at the Art Society in Batavia. Collaboration with de Kat Angelino continued and she met him in Amsterdam on her way home. With his help an exhibition was arranged at the Colonial Institute in Amsterdam. The exhibition was favorably reviewed by de Kat Angelino in the magazine Nederlandsch Indië, Oud en Nieuw. What was the reaction at that time in the Netherlands on her work in Bali? Anne Hallema, a Dutch journalist and art-criticus wrote a critical and extensive article on the Mudra's which appeared Elseviers Geïllustreerd Maandschrift, Jaargang 34, 1924 pp. 145–147. He disqualified her work as an artist but praised her for her scientific contribution. He ends his article with stating that we have to be grateful that this stranger from the land of Selma Lagerlöf toke the initiativ to study the mudra's of the Balinese priests in performing his Hinduistic rituals. Specially the Indologists and Orientalists should be happy with the appearance of this publication.
Another crucial exhibition was Två vittberesta damer (Two Travelling Ladies) at Liljevalch's Public Art Gallery in Stockholm 1922, where she showed art and artifacts from Java and Bali together with Swedish photographer and author Ida Trotzig contributing works from Japan. This exhibition was the starting point for the "Bali-fever" in Sweden. Kleen's depictions of mudras were shown at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1923.
Besides Mudras, Kleen published two other books about Bali: Ni-Si-Pleng, a story about black children written for white children (1924), and, seven years later, Tempeldanser och musikinstrument pa Bali, printed in 300 numbered copies, translated in 1936 as The Temple Dances in Bali.
Kleen's study on the mudras, the exhibition in Amsterdam at the Colonial Institute and the publication of her books made her internationally known. For her scientific ethnographic work on Bali, Kleen was awarded the Johan August Wahlberg silver medal in April 1938, given to individuals who have "promoted anthropological and geographical science through outstanding efforts".
Walter Spies was the central figure in the circle of artists residing on the island in Ubud, Klungklung and Karangasem. He was considered to be the greatest expert on Balinese dance and drama. Together with the British dance critic Beryl de Zoete, he wrote the standard 1938 work Dance and Drama in Bali. Spies was jealous of the international success of Kleen[citation needed] and wrote a very critical nine-page review of the Temple Dances in Bali in the journal Djawa (1939). He complained, "the text and the depictions are filled with so many mistakes, errors and incorrect statements that one must shake one's head." Spies claims that as an ethnographic document the book has no value. As a result, there were nearly no references to the work of Kleen in any ethnographic periodicals or publications after this critical review. It is only in 1962 that C. Hooykaas in his article "Saiva-Siddhanta in Java and Bali" supported the importance of the study on mudras by de Kat Angelino and Kleen.
Kleen contributed work to various European magazines, including Sluyters' Monthly, Nederlandsch Indië Oud en Nieuw, Ord och Bild and Inter-Ocean, between 1920 and 1925 and influenced in this way the perception and expectations of foreign visitors to Bali. Furthermore, she influenced with her colourful, vivid and dynamic art-deco drawing style the development of painting by local artists in Bali, not in a one-way influence but more a kind of mutual influence.Mostly these local paintings were made for the touristic market and depicted daily life instead of exclusively being concerned with gods, demons and the Ramayana and Mahabharata epics. In this way, she took part in the marketing of "the last paradise". This also meant that she became associated with this type of magazine drawing instead of her more important ethnographic publications.
U
The Yak spoke with Ajit Khatai, ceo of Uluwatu handmade Balinese lace – the 50-year-old true Bali legacy fashion brand – about life in Bali, the journey so far and the future for the brand.
How has Bali been for you?
Been here since the beginning of the 2020 pandemic. I think one word for life here would be: healing.
What does Uluwatu Handmade Balinese Lace mean to you?
Magical and challenging on so many levels. A fashion business in Bali. A brand that’s core skill-set is lace. Only two colours (white and black) to the range planning. Tourists as primary customer. Language barrier. An immensely talented pool, which is aging.
How is it that sophistication and simplicity exists seamlessly in Uluwatu Lace? We know it’s not easy. How do you manage to achieve it?
It looks easy, because ours is a story of Bali. We carry the soul of everything that’s beautiful here. By layering simplicity over and over, we are able to create sophistication. Our pursuit is perfection. Our founder Ni Made Jati focussed on love for creating great designs. She was inspired by modern women who are independent and rebellious. Over the years, we have redefined this modern woman. I think these three elements, Bali, Simplicity and Perfection are our secrets.
How did the brand start…
In the 1970s it seemed a good business proposition. Bali had an abundance of lace skills. An influx of foreigners was allowing exploration of new silhouettes (before lace was predominately used on Kebayas). Our founder saw the possibilities. Those were times when Bali was getting started on its lasting reputation of being heaven; of secret idyllic beaches where seekers and hippies found the surf, sand and beads, and loads of sunshine to tan their skin. She adapted the lace to the new world, from airy over layers to breezy gowns for the evening fire. The Bohemian spirit has been alive ever since.
Uniquely, the Uluwatu Lace brand is cemented deeply in Bali’s history and colonial past. Can you briefly tell us more…
No-one starts out to make history. Our journey gave us two rights: time and place. Bali’s lace tradition of krawang or Lobang is a rich living craft. Earliest evidence showing its use is in the 10CE, during the end of the Majapahit reign. Almost 1,000 odd years of existence. There is an unsubstantiated belief that Kerawang is the classic crochet lace of Northern Europe. Said to be carried by missionaries who travelled with the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The timeline could be anywhere around 1600CE. But the real impact can be attributed to after 1796, when the VOC was abolished and the Dutch government gained control over Indonesia, which continued until 1941.
And then there was the modern journey…
Yes. Somewhere around mid ’70s, Kebaya was getting its space as a classic apparel which was introduced as modesty. Lace got incorporated into the Kebaya. We have been trying to perfect the art form ever since then. This evolved into the temple culture, to exactly the same clothing culture we witness in Bali today. We have managed to transform it into something desirable globally. Breaking the limitations of design was the tipping point. With just two colors, white and black, it was a sure recipe for disaster. The fact that we are still here is something bigger than a miracle. But here we are…
Why white and black?
Our journey was for excellence. I suppose we reached this point naturally. It is difficult to reason why in a 50-year journey. An intelligent guess is, white was preferred due to the tropical climate and black was easy to handle. In the early years, consistent yarns in colors was not an easy proposition. Whatever the reason, we are memorable because of the two colours.
How many people are involved in making your designs?
Our family is around 500 individuals. More than three quarters of this number are involved in the design creation and the rest are in support operations. Each person in our ecosystem is a lifelong partner to creation of these exclusive designs.
What makes this brand click?
Love and Bali. You immerse in this paradise. In return the paradise diktats that you respond with honesty. That’s what we give. We do not dilute our principles to suit business obligations. Our products are made in the old fashioned way. We have steered clear of shortcuts. Each and every piece is made in the same traditional method of bamboo hoops and slow needle whirring to make the lace. Love has its own karmic journey. Maybe it’s the love that’s responding back.
What are the attitudes in fashion changing over the decades? Where is fashion’s future for designs with your niche?
Look at the fashion around the world. Lace and crochet are consistent. Lace is here to stay. That speaks loads on the future of lace in fashion. It’s a classic embellishment in fashion. Women love it. It’s not going away anytime soon. We are a lace brand. We need one purchase to happen in a thousand in our market to stay in business. That’s a simple logic for excellence. We have to keep creating the most simple, sophisticated designs with the same passion. Great designs don’t need volume. We are content right now.
What does high thread count mean to you and why is it important to your company?
Yarn is the key. Our yarn goes through immense stress, which makes it absolutely essential to have a unique tensile strength, which is stable in the lace making process, avoiding brittleness. We have conjured up a specific blend of rayon yarns to achieve this over the years. It stays unbroken for the longest stretch of action. That brings the unique sheen to our lace.
How has the Covid Pandemic affected your brand?
It’s been a kind of blessing in disguise. We found time for course correction. Our focus diverted from sales to being janitors (cleaning up the brand). We found scope to refine our skills. Created a data-bank of designs. Refined the skills that had been acquired over 50 years. We updated software and improved processes. Basically we did a lot of clean-up. We had to ensure our designs remain heirloom pieces. Creating possibilities of engagement to lace designs. We conceptualized a Balinese Lace Museum and initiated the process of getting nominated as a heritage craft. It was a long list.
Which design will be your all-time superstar creation? Is there a story in its creation?
We love almost all our ’70s designs. The decade when chic, colour and pool parties were the epitome. The age of revolution … styles that clicked. Then we were busy making something revolutionary to be loved. We got our foothold in fashion in the ’70s.
How are you involved in the creative community in Bali?
As the flag bearer of Balinese Lace Fashion, we are the finest on the block. Both the founder and myself are pretty much very private people. Our direct visible engagement remains slower than we would like. However, we engage with artists, graphic artists, photographers, musicians and actors. We love to be the support to young creative talents.
What are the current design projects at Uluwatu Lace?
This year we are engaging in a lot of very interesting projects … I like to call in non-invasive cross-innovation, where we identify non-parallel creative techniques to come together in an organic symbiotic visual extravagance. Our designers are busy rejecting designs to arrive at acceptable designs. For example, imagine trying to combine lighter Endek fabric with Balinese lace. Both techniques cannot overpower each other. The balance of weight, colour and flow is an absolutely challenging experience.
Which particular Indonesian / international celebrities could wear your designs and embody what they mean?
For us, Happy Salma is the epitome of what Uluwatu Lace is supposed to mean. She is the purity of how our design should be expressed. In the case of Hollywood, I would love our designs on Alicia Vikander. Her athletic features and Grecian expression are timeless. And of course, Priyanka Jonas Chopra’s dusky exoticism. If they are reading this … we love you!
What’s next for Uluwatu Lace?
Short-Term: make our mark on the Paris, New York, London and Tokyo fashion scenes. Medium Term: Get listed in UNESCO heritage craft category. Long Term: hopefully keep creating inspiring designs. We have a goal to make the brand 100% sustainable with minimum carbon footprint. Engage with blockchain technology to track the impact of our brand. We also hope to have a community fingerprint, where we go beyond our business obligations and leave lasting imprints within the community that defines us.

Umbu used to take care of the literature room at the Pelopor Yogya weekly, which was headquartered on Jalan Malioboro. On March 5, 1969, together with several other figures, Umbu founded the literary community Persada Studi Klub (PSK). At that time Umbu was dubbed the President of Malioboro. The pioneers of Yogya and PSK gave birth to hundreds or even thousands of poets scattered throughout Indonesia.
Since 1978 Umbu lived in Bali and in July 1979 was asked to become the literary editor of the Bali Post daily. As he did in Pioneer Yogya, Umbu faithfully, diligently, and painstakingly, nurtured the seeds of writers to grow into well-known figures in Indonesian literature.

Om Swastyastu. Dear readers, and participants of the competition that we are proud of.
Praise and gratitude are due to God Almighty because by His grace we were given the opportunity to be participants in the Wikithon Basa Bali competition with the theme "Election 2024: What are the most urgent issues to be handled by Bali's prospective leaders?"
Tourism has long been the most popular sector for Balinese people. Natural resources and customs are two of the factors that make tourists, both from within and outside the country, interested in visiting the island of the Gods, Bali. However, reflecting from 3 years ago where most of the people's economy in Bali was hampered due to a prolonged pandemic. It can be seen from one of the tourist attractions in Bali, namely "Taman Nusa", where this tourist spot focuses on preserving customs and culture in Indonesia, such as traditional houses, dances and traditional weapons, ended up 'closing' or in other words 'going bankrupt'.
Now that the economy in Bali has started to grow and improve, we can take a lesson to not depend on one sector, especially the dynamic Tourism sector. Our question now is, how can we make the human resources in Bali not only focus on the tourism sector? This problem starts with the stereotype that working in the tourism sector can raise the family's status. Although in reality this is true, given the dynamic nature of the tourism sector, it is unlikely that the sector will always promise a good economy. Whereas, on the other hand, agriculture, health, trade, construction and so on have ample job opportunities but with less promising income, so in the opinion of young people now. We ask for solutions from the government regarding this sector that 'actually' has ample job opportunities with less promising income.
Finally, let's all work together to protect and do our best for Bali's economy in the future. That's all we can say, if there are shortcomings we apologize and for your attention we say Parama Santih. Om Santhi, Santhi, Santhi Om.
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.
Om Swastiastu. The judges I respect as well as the friends I love. First of all, let's together express our happiness to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, thanks to his grace we can gather together here for the Bali Oration Public Participation Wikithon event. On this occasion, allow me to deliver a speech that I have made.
In the 2024 election, there are still many problems, one of which is the problem of lack of participation from people who have voting rights in the 2024 election.
Therefore, I ask all people who are able to vote or who have the right to vote in the 2024 election to use their voting rights so that the election runs well, honestly and fairly so that we get a good leader and what we all want.
That's all I can say, more or less I apologize.Om santhi, santhi, santhi, Om +

Om Swastyastu,
Poverty is a social problem that needs to be addressed so that all people can get at least a decent living. As written in article 33 paragraph 1 of the 1945 Constitution which states that "the poor and neglected children are cared for by the state". However, in reality there are still many poor people, homeless people and underprivileged people who still live below the poverty line and do not even receive proper assistance. Gianyar Regency is one of the regions that has a relatively high poverty rate of 1.38 percent, while in Bali province the poverty rate is 0.54 percent.
It has been proven that there are still many beggars begging around shops, some of them even carry small children around to get money. Apart from that, there are small children selling tissue along the main road without proper supervision. Of course, this endangers the order and comfort of society and themselves. So, further treatment is needed regarding the problem of poverty. one of the efforts offered is providing social assistance evenly, social assistance is assistance in the form of money, goods or services to individuals, families, groups and poor communities who are unable and vulnerable to social risks. Even though the provision of social assistance from the government has been implemented, its distribution has not been carried out evenly, as evidenced by the still high level of community poverty in Gianyar district.
So the step that can be taken is to initiate open inspections when social assistance is distributed from the central government to underprivileged communities so that the assistance provided is not just a symbolic or image attempt by irresponsible individuals. These individuals often use assistance measures as an effort to get attention and praise from the public via social media without thinking about the truth of what is happening on the ground. If the provision of social assistance is uneven, of course there is something that is not right in the process. For example, in December 2023, hundreds of proposals for social assistance grants submitted by the community to the 2023 Gianyar Regency Government had not been disbursed, even though representatives of the community whose social assistance proposals had not been disbursed had visited the Gianyar Regency Government but did not receive clear follow-up action, so the disbursement of the social assistance had not occurred. accomplished.
By holding open or transparent inspections, it is hoped that the entire process of distributing social assistance will be known to the community clearly, rather than being an empty effort and hope for the community. Apart from that, social institutions can visit communities in remote areas that are far from the reach of information so that they also receive equal and equitable assistance. It is appropriate for institutions with authority in the social sector to take action against problems that occur in society appropriately and must be accountable. Don't just prioritize your image on social media to get attention and votes from the public.
Om Santih, Santih, Santih Om.
