Om Swastyastu. Before I present this oration, let us all give thanks to Ida Sang Hyang Parama Kawi, because thanks to His grace I, Ni Kadek Diah Ayu Paramitha from SMA Negeri 1 Kerambitan, can present the oration text entitled “Ngamolihang Kasejahteraan Sosial ring Bali”.
A leader is a person who influences others in order to carry out a common goal. Therefore, leaders have the obligation to complete and implement all the aspirations of the community and have a responsibility for community welfare and social welfare. Talking about social welfare, it can be seen from various aspects such as economy, education, health, and socio-culture. Today, I will discuss social welfare in Bali from the economic point of view. One of the economic problems in Bali is the economic gap, which is very important to find a solution to. The economic gap is closely related to the unbalanced infrastructure development in each region. This can lead to urbanization - people living in villages are displaced to cities - which then makes economic growth in Bali unbalanced. Poverty and unemployment rates are also important to note, because if you look at the distribution of subsidies for the lower middle class, it has not been well targeted, so the poverty rate has not shown a significant reduction in the number of people living in poverty.
We know that Bali is very strong because of tourism which until now has benefited as much as 60% of Bali’s economic structure. In my opinion, providing tourism sites like this, especially in villages can be one of the solutions to relieve the economic gap in Bali, such as the Tenganan Tourism Village program, Jatiluwih, Terunyan, and others.
However, we cannot guess what will happen in the future, such as the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020 which causes an economy decline, especially in Bali because it still relies on tourism. However, if you look again, Bali actually has other potentials such as MSMEs. These MSMEs should be considered so that they remain strong. Bali’s leaders have a role to help MSMEs in Bali so that they can improve Bali’s economic development, such as providing facilities and assistance in the form education, socialization, subsidies and rules that can encourage the existence of MSMEs and provide legal protection for MSME actors. Not only these MSMEs can help the Balinese economy. Social welfare is not just the responsibility of leaders, but the responsibility of the entire community. However, the role of leaders here is very important to lead the community to get social welfare, the leader should use resources as well as possible, and also build good buildings in order to provide people’s welfare.
This is the text of the oration that I can convey. If any of my words are not pleasing to you, I apologize profusely, finally I close with paramasantih, Om Santih Santih Santih Om.
In Bali Province, as in many other tropical regions, floods have become a serious issue that often disrupts the daily lives of residents. One of these areas, Badung Regency, faces similar problems, and several solutions can be proposed to address them. Firstly, the construction of a better drainage system is an important step in flood mitigation. Efficient drainage can help facilitate the flow of rainwater and prevent waterlogging on roads and residential areas. Regular cleaning and maintenance are also necessary to keep the drainage system functioning optimally.
Furthermore, vegetation planting and land rehabilitation can be long-term solutions to strengthen soil absorption capacity. By increasing vegetation such as trees and shrubs, rainwater can be more easily absorbed by the soil, reducing the risk of erosion. Afforestation and restoration programs can help improve the ecosystem and reduce the risk of future floods. Additionally, better spatial planning is key to preventing floods. Local governments need to ensure that development takes into account environmental aspects and flood risk potentials. Mapping flood-prone areas and controlling development in those areas can reduce vulnerability to floods.
Increasing public awareness is also crucial in efforts to address floods. Through education and campaigns, residents can be informed about the importance of environmental conservation and eco-friendly behaviors, such as proper waste disposal and vegetation preservation. The more people involved in environmental conservation, the lower the risk of floods. Moreover, technology can be an effective tool in flood anticipation. Early warning systems connected to weather monitoring can provide quick and accurate information about potential floods, enabling early evacuation and other mitigation measures.
Furthermore, the use of technology in drainage management and flood control can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of these efforts. With a combination of various solutions, it is hoped that the flood risk in Badung Regency can be reduced. It is important for the government, the community, and other stakeholders to collaborate in implementing these solutions to create a safer and more sustainable environment for everyone.

On this occasion, allow me to share some thoughts on the importance of giving teenagers the freedom to express themselves and work on their interests and talents. And how we as a society can facilitate this.
The young generation is the future of this nation. They are the ones who will continue the baton of leadership in this beloved country. Therefore, we should give them the widest possible freedom to explore and develop their potential.
Often, we get stuck in the mindset that children should follow in their parents' footsteps. In fact, every child has their own passions and talents. Our job is to support and facilitate their self-discovery, not impose our will.
By giving young people the freedom to work in areas of interest, we help them find purpose and meaning in life. This is important so that they do not get lost and fall into negativity.
In addition, young people who are supported to pursue their dreams will grow up to be confident and optimistic. They know that the community supports their efforts to achieve their goals. This will spur enthusiasm and a high work ethic.
Therefore, let us embrace young people with empathy. Give them the confidence to pursue their dreams, even if they are different from our expectations. As parents and society, we must support our young people.
Thus, they will grow into an excellent generation and bring progress to this nation. That's all for my short speech, thank you for your attention. +

Bali is a cultural tourism island that is well known abroad. This causes many foreign tourists and tourists to come to Bali to walk around. The arrival of tourists to Bali is actually welcomed by the Balinese people because they can help the Balinese people whose field of work is in the tourism sector and introduce world progress to the community. However, it turns out that tourist behavior in Bali is not as beautiful as we think. Instead of walking around enjoying the beauty of the island of Bali, they are destroying the beauty of the island of Bali, behaving as they please and trampling on our cultural heritage. The behavior of naughty tourists is indeed infuriating and this also happens in various popular destinations in the world. Not long ago it went viral that a pair of foreign tourists became angry and clashed with Pecalang in Bali. This was because a pair of foreign tourists felt unacceptable because they were prohibited from crossing a road, because there was a Melasti ceremony procession to welcome Nyepi Day in Bali.
We as Balinese citizens should not allow this to continue to happen to our ancestral heritage on the island of Bali. If this continues, it can of course cause discomfort to the people of Bali. To overcome this incident, the government has actually made various efforts starting from socialization, efforts to give tickets to foreign tourists who violate it and even many influencers who have made the tourists' actions viral on social media with captions that vilify them. By making this viral, actually we are just as bad as them, why should we vilify people on social media who haven't even changed anything and the tourists are still doing the same thing. A lot of shouting is useless, but try to make the tourist stop breaking Balinese rules
As a government in a new era, it would be better, apart from setting an example of good travel behavior, one of the efforts that continues to be made is to socialize what can and cannot be done (do's and don'ts) by all tourists or foreign tourists who vacation in Indonesia, especially in Bali. and Lombok. Apart from that, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy/Tourism and Creative Economy Agency (Kemenparekraf/Baparekraf) also continues to move quickly together with the provincial government (Pemprov) to handle cases of foreign tourists acting up. So, in the future it won't just be about increasing the number of foreign tourists visiting Indonesia. But it can also improve the quality of tourists,

Building Bali with P2
Building and maintaining Local Wisdom and Building a Bridge of Hope for a Bright Future for the Island of the Gods
Om Swastiastu
Dear guests, I invite you to pray for a moment to the one God, with joy. I invite the brothers before starting this oration. Let us express our gratitude for the blessings given to us at this "Bali Oration" event, I will present the text of the oration entitled "Building Bali for P2"
Dear guests, as we know, Bali is a paradise island for tourists which is called "the last paradise" because of its natural beauty, and we as Balinese citizens must protect this Bali, as do our leaders who will bring Bali into a new era, If not us who else?!! as the leader of Bali he must see and pay attention to the tourists who come to Bali, because there are many cases of insults and bad behavior from tourists which can damage Balinese taksu.
Dear ladies and gentlemen, as they all know, Bali is very stressed by taksu, but now it may be even more lost, why?!!, because the tourists do not appreciate and probably do not know how our area is. Many of his actions have damaged the feet of our enemies. According to data from the Bali Ministry of Law and Human Rights as of April 10 2023, they have deported 82 foreign nationals (WNA) for committing violations. Foreigners from Russia are top with 21 members. Nigeria is in second place with 7 people, followed by the US and the UK with 6 each.
Distinguished guests, whoever will be the next leader of Bali, I hope to take a firm stance against tourists who behave not in accordance with the moral norms that exist in Bali, it is important for leaders to find a balanced solution between good economic growth and preserving heritage Balinese culture and nature. In my opinion, the next leader of Bali must discuss P2, namely the first is conservation, meaning that conservation means that we as Balinese citizens must not be deceived, because every tourist may make a mistake which will reduce our taksu. The second P is Management, management means providing information about several places in Bali that are still sacred and strictly prohibiting tourists from doing inappropriate actions.
I want to remind them, once again, that whoever leads Bali must be firm in collaborating and organizing to resolve and investigate all existing problems and we as Balinese must also participate in protecting the world of Bali, if not us, who else. I close with pramasanthi om santhi santhi santhi om

Libraries are often thought of as a bridge to knowledge, a place where individuals can find lessons, inspiration, and entertainment. However, in the city of Denpasar, Bali, libraries face a number of problems that impede public access to this valuable intellectual resource. With the experiences and stories of local people, we can understand how important it is to overcome these challenges and rebuild the foundation of libraries as inclusive and effective learning centers. One of the major problems faced by libraries in the City of Denpasar is inconsistent operational schedules. Many libraries are only open during normal business hours, even on weekdays, making it difficult for workers or students with busy schedules to visit. In fact, some libraries even close on weekends, when many people have free time to study or enjoy reading. This causes frustration and reduces the public's interest in using library facilities. In addition, unresponsive service and lack of effective communication are also constraints. Many visitors feel that library staff are unfriendly and unwilling to help. The experience of Sekar, a local resident, reflects a common experience where simple requests such as finding a wifi password or a membership registration procedure are not responded to well. This results in a difficult experience and less motivation to return to the library. In addition, the lack of information about the operational schedule and library services is also a problem. Many libraries do not actively update their information on online platforms such as Google Maps, making it difficult for the public to know when the library is open or closed. This causes confusion and uncertainty, especially for those who do not live near libraries or have limited access to the internet. To address these problems, concrete steps need to be taken by governments and stakeholders. First, libraries need to expand their operating schedules, including opening on weekends and at night to reach more people. This will provide an opportunity for individuals with busy schedules to access library resources. In addition, training for library staff in customer service and effective communication is also important. Library staff should be equipped with the necessary skills to provide friendly and responsive assistance to visitors. This will help create a more welcoming environment and encourage people to use library facilities more comfortably. Equally important, libraries should increase their efforts in disseminating information about their services and operating schedules. This can be done through a variety of communication channels, including social media and library websites. By providing clear and easily accessible information, libraries can rebuild public trust and increase their participation. With these steps, the libraries in the City of Denpasar can play a more effective role in providing access to knowledge and supporting lifelong learning for its community. By improving their systems and services, libraries can become inclusive and inspiring centers of learning, helping to build a brighter future for future generations.

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.

Most of his works contain opposition to the orthodoxy of Balinese views or beliefs. His social protests are not out of hatred, but rather because he loves Bali so much.

P
P.L. Dronkers, born 19 August 1917, completed his education in Leiden in September 1941 and became Dutch colonial government administrator (Indisch bestuursambtenaar) and in July 1945 he was one of the first members of the contingent of Dutch colonial administrators to be sent out from The Netherlands to the Netherlands-Indies, at that time still occupied [by the Japanese]. Via Australia and a temporary assignment in Batavia with the Netherlands Government Information Service (Regerings Voorlichtingsdienst, RVD), in the first months of 1946, he was granted a post with the landing forces, which were to bring Bali back under regular [Dutch colonial] administration. Initially, Internal Affairs Administration was militarised with the name Allied Military Administration, Civil Affairs Branch (AMACAB), something which was undone in the course of 1946. In 1947, civil administrators were added to the local self-government as civil advisors (bestuursadviseurs). Mid 1948, these administration advisors were put together at the office of the Balinese 'Rajadom Council' (vorstenraad) Dewan Radja-Radja in Den Pasar. The reason for this was, also at local level, to melt into changed political relations within the Negara Indonesia Timur, to which daerah Bali belonged. The transfer of sovereignty in December 1949 formally ended the interference of Dutch [colonial] Civil Administration with local administration.
Dronkers held the following positions in Bali:
junior controller (aspirant-controleur) in Boeleleng and Djembrana, March-May 1946; junior-controller in Djembrana, May-December 1946; controller/administration advisor in Tabanan, January 1947 - June 1948; head of the Political Affairs Department with the Dewan Radja-Radja in Den Pasar, June 1948 - March 1949; head of the Economic Affairs Department with the Dewan Radja-Radja in Den Pasar, June 1949 - April 1950. April 1950, Dronkers together with his family repatriated to the Netherlands.
In the course of his administrative duties he made some 7,000 photographs of Balinese cultural life.
Om Swastyastu, Best wishes for continued success,
Respected judges.
Dear participants,
And beloved attendees.
Before I offer my greetings, let’s express our gratitude to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, for His grace which allows us to gather at this great event, “Wikithon Public Participation Bali speaks”.
Ladies and gentlemen, you probably know that Bali is called Indonesia’s world-famous tourist destination. Bali has established Cultural Tourism as the most important attraction for tourists, which is why many foreign tourists and local tourists travel to Bali. However, we should remember, the land of Bali is a sacred land. There are rules, principles, and regulations in each region that should be implemented, maintained, and preserved so that the island of Bali can remain strong, sturdy, and sustainable. The rules are not only implemented by the Balinese people but all parties in the tourism sector and also the people who live in Bali as well as domestic and foreign tourists. Tourists should also abide by the rules. They should not violate them, let alone behave violently or arbitrarily. If there are tourists like this, it will definitely make things bad for the life of this Balinese earth.
In the current state of Bali’s tourism sector, which has just risen from the impact of Covid-19, there are many behaviors of tourists from abroad that are not in accordance with the rules in Bali. For example, the case of tourists who damaged the Goa Raja Temple, Besakih. Tourists from South Korea damaged facilities in the temple area, such as tedung (umbrella), sangku (holy water container), jug, donation box, and cloth mounted on the monument. This made the temple area polluted. Then the Goa Raja Temple management carried out a simple prayascita (cleaning) ceremony so that the temple area could return to purity. The behavior of tourists causes a big loss for the surrounding community and indigenous people. It has definitely polluted the Balinese customs and traditions. There are many other examples, such as tourists who do not wear appropriate clothes during Pendet Dance performances at Saraswati Temple and Gunung Batur Temple, tourists who take pictures naked at Taru Kayu Putih Suci in Tabanan Regency, tourists who sit on the Teratai Bang Temple monument, tourists who meditate naked in Denpasar. Apart from not wearing clothes at temples, there are also tourists displaying the same behavior in public places, for example in South Kuta.
Based on the above-mentioned problems, the Balinese government has actually made a circular letter of the Governor of Bali Number 04 of 2023 concerning the new order for foreign tourists who visit Bali. The stipulation of regulations on tourist behavior is in accordance with Balinese cultural norms but the implementation has not been maximized. There are still many tourists who behave not according to Balinese customs, destroying the principles that have been inherited on this Balinese earth. This makes me hope that the leaders who will be elected in 2024 will be firm with the rules that have been issued, truly loyal to protecting Bali from the bad influence of globalization and all people, especially protecting Balinese youth, so that they are not exposed to bad influences. In addition, Bali leaders should require tourists to be accompanied by a guide. The goal is that there is no more wrong and deviant tourist behavior. Tourists do bad behavior because no one is watching. In order to be implemented, the 2024 leader can provide guide services under the auspices of the government that can be used by tourists.
Come on, brothers and sisters, take care of this Balinese earth, take care of the tourists who come to Bali, so that Balinese customs and culture as an ancestral heritage are not polluted and abused. Well, that’s all I can say. If there are any mistakes in my speech, I ask for forgiveness. I close with paramasanthi. Om Santih, Santih, Santih, Om.
HARASSMENT OF BALI CULTURAL TRADITIONS BY PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE ISLAND
Viral videos of Balinese traditions on social media that are performed on the island Java, without proper standards, has raised the ire of Balinese netizens. Balinese traditions such as the Cendrawasih Dance, even sacred ones such as the Sidakarya Mask as an accompaniment to the work, seem to lose their Taksu when they are performed by irresponsible individuals. Why does this happen? What should the provincial government & Balinese people do to overcome this?
The fame of the customs, traditions and culture of the Balinese Hindu community is well known abroad. The authenticity of Balinese culture has encouraged people from outside Bali to come and learn Balinese culture directly. It's not surprising that now there are more and more art studios outside Bali that teach dance and gamelan arts typical of the Island of the Gods. The existence of social media such as Instagram, YouTube and TikTok also introduces the treasures of Balinese traditions
They seem to want to preserve Balinese traditions out of admiration, but this ends up being an insult to Balinese traditions themselves. The lack of knowledge between sacred and non-sacred dances has resulted in many dances that accompany ceremonies being danced haphazardly as an austere spectacle.
The Balinese Hindu community and the Balinese Traditional Village Council must work together to take strict action against these things so that they do not happen again. The Bali Provincial Government and the Bali Provincial Culture Service must immediately form an inter-regional cultural communication forum to provide education for artists outside Bali who want to present Balinese cultural arts, so that non-conformity in standards which leads to harassment can be avoided. +
Global warming is currently increasing because the rain does not fall and as a result it has an impact on the sustainability of society, for example people are vulnerable to falling ill because the heat is always increasing every day. This can be followed up by the government so that it can issue solutions or opinions regarding this matter so that it does not cause problems. something new that you don't want.
What the government can possibly do so that this problem can be resolved is that the government can help by creating green open spaces, namely planting a thousand trees so that they can absorb more carbon dioxide and convert it into oxygen so that people can at least breathe fresh air and also reduce the impact of global warming by Thus, the problem of global warming can reduce the effects or impacts of global warming.
If this problem of global warming can be resolved with assistance from the government in the form of trees to be planted around people's residential areas and it can help people not be affected by the problem of global warming, the government will be able to convince people not to be too worried or panic about this global warming problem. +
PEMILU 2024 "ANTI GOLONGAN PUTIH"
Dear my fellow countrymen
The general election to be held in 2024, Indonesia will be faced with many Political changes which will come in early 2024 with many general elections covering legislative elections that will proceed with new presidential elections that have many major changes to Indonesian people, especially in the 2024 election will be marked by millennials and the generation Z that will contribute most to the general election which will be held in 2024.
As a generation of millennials and generations of gen Z who will also color the general elections carried out in 2024, be voters who have a sense of responsibility for our choices and do not choose a candidate as long as well as memiliih without any forcedness or sogo from the candidates for election 2024. But in the present, many millennials and generations of GEN Z don't understand things about politics and laws that make many millennials a neutral or commonly called GOGPUT (White Class) because the many issues of prospective elections that have miscompatible with the course, make many youth of the millennial generation or gen Z doubt with the mission conveyed by the millennial generation, many white generation in the future.
With the doubts and neutral groups, this makes many Indonesian youth that will participate in coloring the general election which will be carried out in 2024 make the many choices carelessly without the basis of choice according to their hearts or according to the criteria needed by the Indonesian nation in the next 5 years. This will be a lot of bribery or sogon-sogons from candidates to citizens, especially millennials and generations of GEN Z who do not understand anything about politics, this will make many negative influences the course of the 2024 election.
Thus, with the 2024 election, which will be colored by millennials and the generation of Z will also color the general election in the year with their choice. Because every choice of your voice to advance the Indonesian nation which is better in the future. By choosing without being a white group, because the White Group is not cool.

For the honorable adjudicators, the principals and teachers of senior high schools and vocational high schools in Bali and all the audiences and senior high schools and vocational high schools’ students in Bali, good morning.
Let’s thank to the almighty God because of his grace we can gather here this morning. In this occasion, I am Wira as an orator will deliver an oration entitled "Election in 2024, Must Choose the Right Leader for Bali”.
Ladies and gentlemen...
Elections or General Elections can be referred to as voting or elections, where we have determined our right to vote by choosing the right leaders. From this election, we know that whether Bali has evolved or not! Therefore, I will discuss some urgent issues that must be addressed for Bali's future leaders.
Ladies and gentlemen...
Time by time... The months have passed...Year by year... Have you ever been to an urban area like Denpasar? If you have ever gone and seen a child begging for a bite of rice, do you feel their pain? Ladies and gentlemen, I want to invite you to choose leaders who are more precise, wise, and certainly honest!
Then another problem is the environment. Yes... Environment... Bali is known as the "Heaven of the World" which itself has a variety of beautiful natural attractions! If we can't take care of the environment, Bali will undoubtedly experience an economic downturn.
Before I end my talk today, I would like to ask all of you to clap your hands and raise them above your heads! Are you going to throw Bali to the wrong leader? Therefore, let’s choose leaders who are responsible, competent, honest, and of course fair. Najwa Shihab once said, "leaders are not born by diplomas, but by hard work and care that continues to be honed."
That's all I can say, hopefully of course Bali will be led by the right leader. Sincerely to the island of Bali, I end with parama santhi.
Om Santi, Santi, Santi Om
Rahayu, Rahayu, Rahayu
Ladies and gentlemen, jury and coaches who I respect, as well as the participants of the BASAbali Wiki Oration competition that I love. Om Sywastyastu. Through a pure and sinless heart, I never cease to express my gratitude to God Almighty, because with His blessings, I can meet with this audience today. In which I participate in the oration competition in today’s Public Participation Wikithon. Hopefully, events like this will continue to grow in the future, making Bali strong. Ladies and gentlemen, the subject of my oration is titled “Good Education as a Tool to Improve the Quality of Bali’s Human Resources”.
Ladies and gentlemen, what made me take that title? Because from a lot of what I see I conclude the youth in Bali do not get a good education. This makes it difficult for Balinese human resources to get a job that can develop the economy of the province of Bali. According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics in 2021, the percentage of Balinese who did not go to school was 1.03 thousand people or 24.04%; then those who did not graduate from elementary school were 377.18 thousand people or 8.83%. Based on these data from the Central Bureau of Statistics, the government and Balinese people, especially students, should try to implement programs that can help Balinese people who have not received proper education. Then, what programs can be implemented? Let’s think together.
As a Balinese youth, I will provide solutions or suggestions to the ladies and gentlemen of the DPD Bali as well as the government who is the mouthpiece of the community, to always help provide good knowledge to all Balinese. The first suggestion: pay attention to the quality and quantity of the teachers. Teachers or educators are like the main key that will teach or provide knowledge to students. If teachers’ wages, facilities and accommodation are not good or adequate, it will affect the teaching process. Secondly, school and classroom support facilities should be prioritized. When the learning process takes place, but the facilities used are not complete, of course the teacher and students will have diffulties and the learning process in the classroom will be disrupted. The third suggestion is to provide the youth with positive out-of-school activities or out-of-school learning programs. Good examples are carrying out and participating in competitions, participating in community service programs as well as other useful work. With these activities students do not only to learn at school.
Ladies and gentlemen, based on the many things I have talked about, I would like to conclude as follows. The Balinese government and people should not underestimate education. Because through education, we can get a good job to improve the quality of Bali’s underdeveloped human resources. Also the Balinese are expected not to be swayed by the wealth that exists in today’s world, called “Industrial Revolution 4.0”. Let us together help Balinese who have not received a good education through positive and useful programs or activities. Lastly, we should introspect ourselves so as not to forget ourselves and together carry out our religious obligations by strengthening Bali.
Well, ladies and gentlemen whom I respect very much, that’s all I can say on this good day. Thank you to those who have witnessed my speech. Hopefully what I have said will be useful. For any shortcomings, let me apologize. In closing, I say paramasanthi. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om.
Om Swastiastu Peace be upon us all, allow me, Kadek Wisnu Artana, a student from SMA Negeri 1 Penebel to deliver an oration on the influence of oligarchy on future leaders in this country.
The DPD must listen, pay attention and follow up on the aspirations I expressed today
Brothers and sisters, it has been 115 years since Indonesia has risen from adversity, precisely when Budi Utomo was founded, 78 years since Indonesia has been independent and the Red and White Sangsaka has flown freely on Indonesia's motherland, reform has been underway, but what is going on with educational resources for the nation's generation, what is it? This generation is simply silenced as if it were dumb and deaf and does not flinch from voicing various aspirations. Here I invite everyone to voice their aspirations regarding government in this nation which is still shackled by the shadow of the Oligarchy, and today the Oligarchy has become very free to wreak havoc on power both in the upper elite and in the lower elite, the Oligarchy has a big influence on the nation's future leaders. , oligarchy has a very bad impact on leaders.
The problem caused by the existence of Oligarchy in our government system is that power is centralized, Oligarchy only controls leaders who have sovereignty in their own hands.
Second, there is widespread corruption in this nation by unscrupulous officials as evidenced by the many reports on social media and various other press media. Oligarchs really need tactical funds to fulfill their own interests.
The third is injustice by the government or authorities in the interests of the Oligarchy and society which are not fulfilled according to the Values of Truth that have been determined by law.
The fourth is political instability where the government is controlled by oligarchs, social inequality in power is only controlled by oligarchs and worsens social and economic inequality within the scope of society.
The six unrepresentative leaders controlled by Oligarchs tend not to represent the interests of all the people, but only a handful of groups called Oligarchs.
The seven things that are most rooted in all of these problems are that the gap for legislative candidates who are not touched by the Oligarchs, is very narrow and there is minimal space and budget to channel their vision and mission to the general public in all regions of this country.
All the problems that occur as a result of leaders being controlled by oligarchic interests are rooted in two problems that boil down to very serious legislation,
Firstly, there is no regulation on budget provisions, space, opportunities and forums for all legislative candidates at the regional level. This causes the public to only take the perspective of leaders who are seeking votes under the pretext of donations which, without them even knowing, are funds given by oligarchs to candidates. We need to understand that this is the forerunner to the birth of Oligarchy at the regional government level, this is because when regional legislative candidates enter the community they need very large "tactical funds" to seek votes in their respective electoral districts. What must also be understood is that This Tactical Fund is what causes the leader's debt of gratitude to the Oligarchs. So that they can be controlled even as if they were Puppets of the Oligarchs, and the shadow of the Oligarchy will continue to exist for the next generation. If we as the current generation are still deaf and mute about what is happening, it's time for us to change the regulatory system so that budget provisions, opportunities, facilities and forums for all legislative candidates are fair and closely monitored by the government, so that these Oligarchs will not have a gap to enter the ideology of the leaders in this country.
Secondly, at the central level there is still a Presidential Threshold which is the place for the Oligarchs in this nation to breed. Come, my fellow countrymen and brothers, let's abolish the laws and regulations that cause the Oligarchy in this nation to become increasingly uncontrollable. If the Oligarchy does not have rules that improve their welfare or support their interests, and suppresses the leaders of this nation, then the Oligarchy does not have the opportunity to make the leaders of this nation into their puppets. This is what we must fix together in order to make this nation more advanced. It's time for us to urge the elite of this country so that the legislation that causes the oligarchy in Indonesia can no longer develop or even perish, and if this aspiration is not heard by the elite and is only silenced, it's time for us to take to the streets to voice our aspirations to the government elite and the parliamentary elite. so that this legislation can stop and be replaced with regulations that are more prosperous for the people and not just for the welfare of the Oligarchs in this nation. "In our belief everywhere is Tyranny must fall!" said WIDJI TUKUL. So let's fight together to prevent the detrimental influence of the Oligarchy in the process of selecting leadership candidates and ensure that the elected leadership candidates truly represent the interests of the people and have high integrity. I, we, all of you have the same role in ensuring that the elected leaders are leaders who truly serve the people and not only prioritize the interests of the Oligarchs.
Bung Karno once said, "My struggle is easier because it expelled the invaders, but your struggle will be more difficult because it is against your own people."
Therefore, let us as future generations be sensitive to the social environment, so that this nation can progress in the international arena by changing the rules that mislead Indonesian politics so that this nation advances, come on...!!! Let's make Bung Karno's words come true, participate in voicing the aspirations of the young generation in this country so that we are sensitive to social problems in our environment, especially regarding the election of leaders. Good leaders produce a good environment and human resources whose quality is guaranteed and equitable and prosperous for all the nation's children. Greetings 0% (Threshold).
EARLY MARRIAGE THREATENS BALI
Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and my friends, if I saw all of your faces
It seems like we're still the same age, maybe around a dozen years old and still smell like kencur. Same with me, too
still 20 years old Seeing our peers who got married at that age who were pregnant out of wedlock,
is it appropriate for us? Friends, we actually have a future. That future
is actually in our hands. Through our step by step now this is the future
can reach us. And the future is ours. We have a future that must be planned, though
God has a plan. Every human being must try and pray. So, effort, behavior and what
What we do now will affect our future. Including if we marry early.
Of course there are positive and negative sides if we do this. The negative side comes from violations
the laws we follow. Meanwhile, the positive thing is that we can justify our partner and be far from him
threat of sin. But have you ever thought about economic problems, health stunting, children dropping out?
schools are increasing day by day. Various problems arise as a result of not doing so
ability to support the family. Once on this island of the gods, there is a saying
"sing beling sing naganten" this refers to a society that prioritizes pregnancies outside of marriage
which we often encounter in young children.
Bali, which has a diverse culture that has a variety of arts, is worth wearing clothes
openly, I know that in this free era, many young people are having relationships
sexual relations outside of marriage, many people dress openly and are only concerned with lust.
Is it in accordance with the teachings of Hinduism, think about it! Where will the future of Bali go where art will go
Even Balinese taksu will fade in the future just because we are only concerned with lust and
choose quickly quickly to get married, think about it! +

IMPACTS CAUSED BY LAND USE CHANGE ON THE SUSTAINABILITY OF BALINESE COMMUNITIES
Om Swastyastu
Honorable judging team, as well as beloved friends, let us first offer our prayers and gratitude to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa for His blessings, allowing us to gather here for the Wikhiton Public Participation event, Bali Orates. On this auspicious occasion, allow me to deliver a speech titled “Issues Arising from Land Use Change in the Life of the Balinese Community.”
Ladies and gentlemen, land use change refers to a shift in the function of land from its previous purpose. Land use change in the Bali region has become increasingly prevalent lately, marked by phenomena such as the reduction of productive agricultural land. Indonesia is an agrarian country, and a significant portion of its population works as farmers. What will happen if agricultural land, the source of basic necessities for the Balinese people, continues to be converted into residential areas, coupled with an influx of newcomers requiring them to build dwellings? Another observable phenomenon is the decrease in water catchment areas. Soil is a powerful rainwater absorber. If land with soil is converted into housing, buildings using concrete and paving will indirectly reduce water catchment areas. This becomes hazardous when the rainy season arrives, and the increased use of concrete and paving reduces water catchment areas, leading to higher water volumes and flooding in certain areas. In the last rainy season in Bali, there were numerous flood disasters that resulted in residents losing their homes. Such events will undoubtedly have a negative impact on sustainability, as if left unchecked, the relatively small island of Bali, combined with the increasing trend of land use change, can cause discomfort in the surrounding environment, a decline in food productivity, global warming, and many other terrifying consequences of land use change.
Based on these issues, I hope that the future leaders in 2024 can provide solutions to address the escalating land use change. Bali’s leaders are expected to be faithful custodians, safeguarding the land of Bali and enacting regulations that prioritize and champion the land, customs, and culture of Bali.
To all my friends, let us protect the land of Bali from the dangers of land use change so that Bali’s land remains sustainable. That is all I can convey; I apologize for any shortcomings. I conclude with Parama Santhi, Om Santhi, Santhi Om.
Bali is an island that is famous for its beautiful natural charm, customs, culture and traditions. Thus, Bali has become one of the islands that has become a tourist destination because it is rich in tourism areas, both religious tourism and recreational tourism. It is not surprising that many visitors come to enjoy the beautiful charm of the island of Bali.
Being a tourism destination island, of course it is a challenge for Bali to maintain environmental sustainability so that the level of tourism in Bali is maintained. As we know, Bali's biggest income comes from the tourism sector. However, in carrying out something there are certainly problems that can hinder the development process of the tourism area.
The waste problem is a serious problem, because it can reduce the image of Bali tourism, both for domestic and foreign visitors. The presence of waste in the tourism environment can be very worrying if it is not immediately addressed and managed well.
In the concept of conscious tourism, which we know as Sapta Pesona, it requires the role of the community as host of the destination in an effort to create a conducive environment and atmosphere. One of the important parts of Sapta Pesona is clean. When we can maintain the cleanliness of tourist destinations, the other six aspects can be achieved. Cleanliness will create safety, comfort and bring happy memories to visitors.
For this reason, the waste problem must be handled immediately by leaders in 2024. Bali 2024 leaders must have effective strategies to overcome the waste problem in Bali which is increasingly disturbing the community.

Bali is an island that is famous for its beautiful natural charm, customs, culture and traditions. Thus, Bali has become one of the islands that has become a tourist destination because it is rich in tourism areas, both religious tourism and recreational tourism. It is not surprising that many visitors come to enjoy the beautiful charm of the island of Bali.
Being a tourism destination island, of course it is a challenge for Bali to maintain environmental sustainability so that the level of tourism in Bali is maintained. As we know, Bali's biggest income comes from the tourism sector. However, in carrying out something there are certainly problems that can hinder the development process of the tourism area.
The waste problem is a serious problem, because it can reduce the image of Bali tourism, both for domestic and foreign visitors. The presence of waste in the tourism environment can be very worrying if it is not immediately addressed and managed well.
In the concept of conscious tourism, which we know as Sapta Pesona, it requires the role of the community as host of the destination in an effort to create a conducive environment and atmosphere. One of the important parts of Sapta Pesona is clean. When we can maintain the cleanliness of tourist destinations, the other six aspects can be achieved. Cleanliness will create safety, comfort and bring happy memories to visitors.
For this reason, the waste problem must be handled immediately by leaders in 2024. Bali 2024 leaders must have effective strategies to overcome the waste problem in Bali which is increasingly disturbing the community. Bali 2024 leaders are obliged to make breakthroughs in turning waste into blessings. Because it is impossible to avoid the existence of waste from people's lives, what Bali 2024 leaders need to do is a strategy or way to turn waste into blessings. +

Pande Alit Wijaya Suta, born in Denpasar, August 29, 1984. He completed his art education at ISI Yogyakarta. Since 2008 he has been active in many joint exhibitions, including “Merdeka in Expression” at the Bali Cultural Park (2019), “Nitibumi” at Bentara Budaya Bali (2016), Beijing International Art Biennale, China (2015), “Colek Pamor” at the Museum Arma, Ubud (2014). He is a member of the Militant Arts Community. His works tend to explore the decorative arts of tribalism into a unique visual treat. Every detail of his work is built from archaic symbols arranged in such a way as to become a unified whole. +
Pande was born into an artistic, religious family. A gifted artist since childhood, he studied painting at the Indonesia Institute of the Arts (Institut Seni Indonesia) in Yogyakarta. He later moved with his wife and family to the small town of Muntilan in Central Java, where he lives and works within sight of both the ancient Buddhist temple of Borododur and of Mount Merapi, an active volcano. Both of these majestic and powerful sites—one man-made and celebrating the spirit, the other natural and conveying the beauty and awesome power of Nature—have strongly influenced Pande’s art. A deeply spiritual connection to the earth is a tangible element of Pande’s sculptures and paintings, and the naturalism of his style reflects his interest in the forms and materials of nature in their most fundamental state. His carved wood sculptures, many of them monumental in size, are often fashioned from the trunks or roots of trees, and depict innumerable, expressively carved human figures that seem to be emerging from the tree itself, like figures in some ancient mythological tale.
For Pande, art is a daily-life practice, like taichi or meditation, that allows him to both be nourished by and to celebrate the earth and the spirit, moving from the center outwards just like a mandala–from the microcosm of the body, to his family, his town, the forests and mountains that surround him, the society to which he belongs, and the cosmos which encompasses all of us. +
Pande Paramartha, born in Karangasem, November 23, 1975. He studied fine arts at ISI Denpasar. Since 1994, he has diligently included his books in various joint exhibitions. Among them are the exhibition "Evolution" at Bharata Gallery Ubud (2003), "Hitman" at Danes Art Veranda, Denpasar (2011), "Bali Art Fair" at Tonyraka Gallery (2013). His solo exhibition was “The Creature in Action” at TEN Fine Art, Sanur Bali (2010). In 2000 he won the "Best Oil Painting" award from ISI Denpasar. In his work he often finds inspiration from childhood memories, a world full of play and imagination. +
His name is Pande Putu Abdi Jaya Prawira, born in Denpasar, January 20, 1998. He is the eldest son of the couple Ketut Suparjaya and Ni Wayan Sukarni, currently he lives in the Pande Permai penitentiary housing block D 20, Tulikup Kelod, Gianyar.

After the event ended with enthusiastic support from those closest to him, and positive input from the judges at that time, including one of his own lecturers, namely Mr. Putu Eka Guna Yasa, S.S., M.Hum, who encouraged him to create other literary works. excited. Until finally one of his valuable literary works was born, because it was the first time he created a literary work with 234 stanzas in it and this work could be completed within 5 days.
His full name is Pande Putu Widya Okta Pratama, S.Kom. This young Balinese from Dadap Putih Village, Busungbiu District, Buleleng Regency is usually known as Pande. He is an alumnus of ITB STIKOM Bali batch 2015.

Rapid technological developments have brought many advances in various areas of life, including the world of work. In the current era, we cannot be separated from the influence of technology in the world of work. The government can play an important role in overcoming this problem and creating policies that can control technological developments so that they do not replace and threaten people's jobs.
The most important problem currently is technological progress which poses a major threat to employment opportunities, especially in Bali. If not controlled, many jobs will be replaced by technology. Of course, this can threaten the lives of the Balinese people. Advances in AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology are one of the biggest challenges for future leaders of Bali Province. Although the presence of AI provides benefits, especially in providing efficiency in the world of tourism in Bali, this technology can also have negative impacts if not used wisely.
To overcome challenges in the tourism sector, the government must increase investment in skills training and technology education. This will help prepare the workforce to face technological developments with greater effectiveness. One of the solutions and strategies that I propose is to strengthen the government's role and responsibility in regulating and supervising the use and impact of AI technology in Bali. The government can provide assistance and facilities, such as capital assistance, subsidies, incentives, training, certification, and others, which can help the community to improve their quality and performance in the tourism sector. The government can also evaluate policies that support the transition of workers from traditional to modern sectors through skills conversion programs and financial support. Therefore, this effort can help optimize the use of technology while reducing losses for the Bali tourism sector in terms of the availability of skilled and quality human resources so that they can continue to compete along with technological developments.

Om Swastyastu, the Covid-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on Indonesia. Not only in the health sector, but also in the economic sector. The island of Bali is no exception, all of which are very dependent on tourism so that the Balinese economy has slumped during the pandemic. The Government has implemented the policy of Enforcement of Community Activity Restrictions or PPKM (Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat) to limit the spread of the Covid-19 virus. However, this strategy has caused negative impacts such as the suspension of tourism. Likewise, tourism workers have been fired.
The government and related parties must seek procedures to stimulate Bali tourism. Examples include the strict application of health protocols to the community, as well as the application of CHSE (Cleanliness, Health, Safety, and Environment Sustainability) to tourist destinations or other means of supporting tourist destinations. The number of Balinese people who have received the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine is around 99% and the second dose is around 90%. With this preparation, Bali tourism is ready to rise again.
What is needed is public information that Bali is ready to receive domestic and international tourists. Sports Tourism is one of the strategies that should be implemented. Even though it's a new idea, sports tourism has great potential to generate tourism in Bali. Sports events are of great interest both nationally and internationally. This can be seen from the major sporting events held in Bali such as the 2021 BWF World Tour, BRI Liga 1, U-20 World Cup, and so on. The Government can provide support to improve infrastructure and facilities relating to sports so that Bali's potential can be realized and Bali's tourism and Bali's economy can be revived. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om. +
the steps that must be taken now and in the future regarding what needs to be done to revive tourism in Bali during the pandemic. That is the mandatory vaccination, which is one of the efforts to support the recovery of tourism in Bali, build spirit and commitment with all Bali tourism stakeholders in reviving the tourism sector during the COVID-19 pandemic by seriously implementing disciplined health protocols to restore world trust. not only that, it is hoped that for the government to restore tourism in Bali, it will take several stages, as I know and I have read first by increasing the domestic market. The second is opening the essential business travel, in order to open international flights because it is felt that Bali is ready to accept international arrivals. +

Who doesn't know that Bali is one of the regions with the largest tourism revenue in Indonesia. Even in 2023 Bali began planning a development called Nangun Sat Kerthi Loka Bali which means as 6 main developments for the welfare and happiness of human life. Nangun sat kerthi loka bali itself has goals related to advancing Bali tourism, where there are 6 main sources, namely, atma kerthi, segara kerthi, danu kerthi, wana kerthi, jana kerthi, jagat kerthi which means for the welfare of human life in each part.
But development in Bali will not be able to run well if there are still many unscrupulous people who utilize development funds for personal gain or can be referred to as corruption. Examples such as the case of corruption of Paibon Wargi Temple development funds in Klungkung Regency and the case of corruption of SPI funds at the Udayana Campus. This is one of the factors inhibiting development in Bali. Even those who are supposed to investigate corruption cases turn a blind eye and are mute to all these incidents.
Therefore, it is hoped that the Bali Provincial Government can take these problems seriously. So that the Nangun Sat Kerthi Loka Bali program runs well without any cases of corruption in the development. +
Om Swastiastu,
Om Awighnam astu namo sidham
I thank the event organizers for the opportunity given to me to convey the Celebration to all of you.
whom I respect the competition jury
I respect the guests who have attended this event, Mr/Mrs accompanying teachers who have accompanied the students who took part in this competition.
Ratu Idane is very sane, fragrant titiang sinamian. I am now a student in Badung. Today I want to talk about "General Election 2024".
O people of Indonesia, I invite you all to join together to make our elections a success, the Election of 24 February 2024. Because elections are not just about changing leadership, elections are also not just about power. Because elections are our effort to prevent people from getting worse. It is our goal to start a government.
Ladies and gentlemen, let us strengthen human resources for implementation at all levels. I am sure this has been done and indeed this time I saw from the applause the spirit of optimism. From the lowest level to the top, provide the knowledge, skills and other abilities needed, so that all equipment and officers are able to carry out their duties well. All levels of the KPU must realize the magnitude and importance of the task of starting our nation's democratic party. A valuable moment to show commitment and integrity, showing dedication and best abilities for the future of our nation and state.
Thus, I can conclude that let us choose an election that can advance the island of Bali. Let's not vote for elections that are ex-corrupt. Choose elections that can be committed to holding them well so that democracy remains alive and of higher quality, giving birth to a government that has strong legitimacy.
That's all I can say, sorry if there are wrong words, I thank you. Om Santhi, Santhi, Santhi Om. +
Bali is famous as an island with friendly and innocent people. Therefore, many migrant residents come to Bali looking for work and making a fortune in Bali. If there are no clear regulations regarding the migrant population, over time Bali will become a densely populated island and the crime rate will increase due to the difficulty of finding work.
Problems like this must be handled by the Balinese Leader who is elected in 2024. Whoever becomes the Balinese Leader in that year must be firm with the migrant population so that there are clear and firm rules. These rules are binding and can be used as guidance by migrant residents so that they do not do anything wrong when they come to Bali.
Bali 2024 leaders must have a commitment to limit the population of immigrants to Bali considering that Bali is a small island. With the large number of migrant residents without clear restrictions, it cannot be denied that in the future the ratio of the immigrant population to the native population could be that there are more immigrant residents. This is what Bali 2024 leaders need to anticipate and be aware of so that Bali 2024 leaders have a firm policy regarding this matter. +
Of course, we are already familiar with Covid-19. Who would have thought that this small virus could make such a big change in the last 2 years. Because of this virus we were made to stay at home for 2 years, imagine starting from the activities we initially did outside the home such as going to school, working and traveling abroad that had to stop because of this virus, we were made to stay at home for 2 years. Which of course brings a lot of changes in our lives. An example is tourism in Bali. Bali is an island in Indonesia which is often visited by tourists from various countries because it has its own charm. With the stay-at-home policy, of course the economic sector in Bali will decline. During the pandemic, tourism sites and access to Bali were closed. Community activity at tourist attractions in Bali has decreased. This caused Bali's economy to decline. With the closure of various tourist attractions in Bali, many people have become unemployed, this is compounded by policies at home. This has made people confused about finding money. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs and sources of income. In the end, the poverty level in Bali has increased.
And without realizing it, now we have entered 2023, where there has been a recovery of various sectors in society which have been stalled for the past 2 years. From here we have to restore Bali's economy. Regional governments need to pay attention to Bali's current economic conditions to revive Bali's economy which has been declining for the past 2 years.
The Covid-19 pandemic has hit Bali's economy hard. Bali's economy is very dependent on the tourism sector, so when there are mobility restrictions such as the stay at home policy, the tourism sector is paralyzed. Bali's economy also slumped. Therefore, the government needs to determine a concept for economic development that is not always based on the tourism sector. Bali's economic development must be directed to be more balanced, not only dependent on the tourism sector. Moreover, tourism areas are very vulnerable to changes in external factors. Both from security factors, natural and non-natural disasters that cannot be controlled. So every sector in Bali must also be considered, such as; agricultural, marine and fisheries sectors, manufacturing industry and industries based on Balinese branding culture, MSMEs and cooperatives, creative and digital economy, as well as the tourism sector. So by reviving all these sectors in Bali, it is hoped that Bali's economy can recover after Covid-19. So that Bali will always be prosperous.
My esteemed judges, my beloved Basabali wiki team, and my beloved brothers and sisters. Before I continue I would like to congratulate the Om Swastiastu community. I feel very fortunate to be able to participate in this activity, thank God, I can give my opinion on this Wikithon
Contest on this beautiful day, allow me to express my opinion on the most important issue for our country. It's the problem of global warming. The Earth is getting hotter, as we feel in Bali, so we have to try to address global warming in Bali. Bali as a small island, but as a major tourist destination in the world should provide a powerful energy for the future. The development of global warming has become increasingly apparent. Increased pollution is one of the causes of global warming. Other causes are global warming and forest fires. In Hinduism, there is what is called the Tri Hita Karana, the three signs of happiness as man's relationship with God, man with man, and man with nature. The third point, the relationship between humans and the environment, is that the movement of planting trees is already taking place, but how do we develop a culture of caring for and maintaining these trees?
That's all I can suggest. Let's consider this as a priority and the foundation of the main work program of the candidate leader who will be elected in 2024. I close with Parama santih, Om santih santih om. +
Bali, as a famous tourist destination throughout the world, has very attractive natural charm. One of the attractions is the beautiful and clean beaches. However, recently, beaches in Bali have experienced very disturbing environmental pollution problems. This case raises the question, who is actually responsible for this problem?
Environmental pollution on the coast of Bali has been occurring for several years. Some of the causes are waste from the tourism industry, household waste, and fishing activities that are not well managed. Many local residents and environmental activists have tried hard to overcome this problem, but until now it still continues to occur. +
Honorable, Bali's future leaders, Mr. / Mrs. jury and the audience that I am proud of.
Om Swastiastu,
Before I begin my speech, let us offer our puja and praise to God Almighty, because thanks to His grace and grace we can carry out this activity well.
As we all know, one of the problems on the island of Bali is the number of foreigners who work illegally and are not recorded on the island of Bali. According to the BBC Indonesia website, a number of posts mention foreign tourists in Bali working illegally by offering photography services, motorcycle training, surfing, haircuts, and selling vegetables. This has made a number of Balinese residents worried that their income space is getting narrower. So how can prospective leaders overcome this? The leaders can conduct routine data collection of every business and MSME in their area of power, if necessary, a comprehensive and routine population data collection is carried out so that illegal elements are immediately caught and followed up. From the sources I read, the central government plans to implement a rule that requires foreigners entering tourism islands such as Bali to pay a non-tax rate of 10$. That way, foreigners who enter Bali can be recorded without exception.
That's all my speech, sorry for my mistakes, and last I'd say Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om. +
There is a lot of waste that is difficult to manage or recycle in Bali
As a result, many TPAs and TPSs are full/overloaded
Therefore, there is a need for a solution that can handle the waste problem in Bali. I hope that the prospective leaders of Bali can handle this case well so that there is comfort and peace in social life and I also hope that Bali can be free from waste cases that are difficult to manage.
Thank you, I apologize if there are any bad word. +
In today's millennial era, many young people cannot speak the language well. Soft language is rarely used in the current generation due to the influence of social interactions and technology in the current era. Many children today use harsh language.
If you look at society, children are starting to speak harsh language towards their parents, therefore this must be handled quickly because children are now increasingly using abusive language.
Due to this problem, I ask for help so that the government emphasizes to the public that it is important to limit the use of technology among minors and monitor their interactions. +
The Potential Transition of Tourism Resources to Develop UMKM
Greetings, Om Swastyastu, Assalamualaikum Warohmatullohi Wabarokatuh, Shalom, Namoh Buddhaya. Goodwill and peace to all. We express our gratitude and thanks to the One Almighty God for allowing us to participate in the "Provincial Bali Oratory Competition" with the theme "Bali Orates" and the topic "2024 Election: What is the most pressing issue to be addressed by Bali's future leaders?". In this regard, we present arguments focusing on "how the management of tourism, by harnessing the potential shift of employment towards UMKM, can coexist with the progress of tourism for Bali's future leaders."
Post-Covid-19, Bali is assessed as unable to rely solely on the tourism sector as the sole backbone of the regional economy. Serious resource exploration is needed so that Bali has a number of alternative sources of economic income. This consideration is essential for Bali to withstand crises and global challenges. It is an opportunity to organize and pay attention to the development of UMKM in Bali, potentially redirecting the economic base from the tourism sector.
The negative impact of the current tourism sector chaos in Bali stems from arbitrary behavior by tourists towards the Balinese people. Bali's residents are disturbed by reprehensible actions by tourists, whether permanent residents or just visitors. Examples include religious desecration, inappropriate behavior in sacred areas, disturbances in public areas, land grabbing from Balinese residents, and various other disturbances, all of which have a detrimental impact on the lives of the Balinese people.
The government of the Bali Regional People's Representative Council (DPRI), a politician from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-Perjuangan) faction, outlines several potential economic resources that can be seriously explored in Bali, including agriculture, marine, and creative economy sectors. Strengthening each sector, he notes, will contribute to economic equality in the Island of the Gods.
Recognizing that UMKM are a sector capable of sustaining Bali in times of crisis, support for regulations and education for the empowerment and protection of UMKM is crucial. It is emphasized that diversifying beyond the tourism sector is essential. Chairman of the Bali Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI), Tjok. Oka Sukawati, sees this as a significant moment for Bali's UMKM to learn from other UMKM, especially those outside Bali, fostering innovation and product quality development.
In response to Prof. Ramantha's statements, Ny Putri Koster, as the Head of the Regional Craft Council (Dekranasda), considers her actions as part of her responsibility to bridge UMKM with consumers. She builds synergy with relevant government agencies, such as the Bali Provincial Trade and Industry Office.
In conclusion, we hope that future government candidates prioritize programs in the UMKM sector over tourism, yet maintaining attention to Bali's tourism. This oration serves as a reference for future programs. In closing, we express our gratitude. Om Santih, Santih, Santih Om, Wassalamualaikum Warohmatullohi Wabarokatuh, Shalom, Namoh Buddhaya. Goodwill and peace to all.
We all know how the condition of Bali tourism is after the Covid-19 pandemic. Tourists are not allowed to go to Bali so that Covid-19 virus does not spike again. This causes Bali tourism to decline. Balinese people who work in the tourism sector do not get jobs. The Bali government has issued a policy that is used to suppress the spread of the Corona Virus. One of the policies is the implementation of restrictions on community activities or what is known as PPKM (Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat). This causes the spread of Covid-19 to decrease.
Because the government already has efforts to reduce the spread of the Corona Virus, we as the next generation can help the government to improve Bali tourism. There are many procedures that can be used to improve Balinese tourism. The first way is to promote Balinese tourist destinations using social media. This requires the participation of the Balinese people. Those who like to upload photos while on vacation to tourist destinations in Bali can also help develop and improve Bali tourism. Indonesia has a website that is used to promote Indonesian tourism.
Second, the public can help provide tourist destinations in accordance with health protocols related to government policies, as well as maintaining the cleanliness of tourism places. This causes a sense of security.
Third, Bali has many cultural works that are popular abroad, for example, such as carvings, paintings, sculptures, and so on. Maybe Balinese artists can provide counseling to the younger generation on how to make art. This can foster a sense of love for domestic products and can encourage Balinese cultural works with the younger generation.
Well, that's a little bit about the procedure to restore Bali tourism during the pandemic. We should always remember our identity as Balinese people, namely to develop Balinese culture. +
Promblem
The road in Mengwi's Sembung village is damaged and accidents continue to occur. I am making a suggestion that if I become the leader of Bali, please repair the road in my village. +
Om Swastiastu Om Awighman Astu The fragrant name of shidam, ladies and gentlemen, and dear brothers and sisters, we say Angayubagia to Sang Hyang Parama Wisesa, Therefore from asung kerta wara nugraha because we will convey information today about the 2024 Election. I invite the public Indonesia to work together to make our election a success, the Election of 24 February 2024. Because the election is not just about changing leadership, but the election is our effort to prevent the people from getting worse. Elections are an opportunity for us to evaluate this government. I will explain what the most pressing problems need to be addressed by potential Balinese leaders. The first problem that was considered very urgent to be resolved was controlling the prices of basic necessities, which was chosen by 36.9% of the total respondents. Controlling the prices of basic necessities is the most prominent problem according to residents. Then there are the issues of unemployment, poverty and eradicating corruption, wrote Political Indicators in its report. The respondents involved were all Indonesian citizens who had the right to vote in general elections, namely those who were 17 years of age or older, or were married when the survey was conducted. Sampling used the multistage random sampling method. So I can conclude that we should choose a leader who is firm, honest and responsible for the island of Bali. Thank you, hopefully we will all be given guidance and wisdom in choosing the right leader. Our tribute to Bali, the island we love Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti Om +
For a long time, the island, which has been nicknamed the Island of the Gods, has been known for its cultural diversity. Yes, Bali is an island that has a unique culture. There is so much unique culture that can be studied and studied here from its traditional and religious rituals, its unique cuisine, as well as its performing arts and crafts. All incredibly charming.
So far, most domestic tourists and some foreign tourists may only know Bali as an island with beautiful panoramas. In fact, from a cultural point of view, Bali is charming.
Therefore, I propose that Bali in this pandemic can create an attractive cultural package, it can be in the form of a hybrid that is in accordance with the current pandemic conditions. What is on offer? For example, a package of picking local plants and Balinese-style cooking, for example Betutu Chicken and various Lawars. Also can for example learn the basics of Balinese dance in three hours. Others are a week of watching Balinese wayang, Balinese gamelan orchestra performances, a week of Balinese fairy tales, seeing a village making Balinese handicrafts, and inviting tourists to take part in preparations for big ceremonies in Bali (for example how children learn to dance, mothers prepare food). ceremonies and so on). Or there can also be stories and tours about getting to know the Balinese kingdom and knowing what white leak and black leak are, and about learning Balinese script.
Yes, there are many interesting things about culture in Bali. This is one way to attract tourists, culturalists, and also those who are interested in culture from anywhere to get to know more about Bali. +
Bali is an island of the gods which is well known in foreign countries for its natural beauty. During a pandemic like this, many foreign and domestic tourists are reluctant to travel for fear of being exposed to the corona virus, especially since there is a new variant of the virus, namely Omicron. This pandemic has made everything difficult with the economy in a drastic decline. The main reason for the drastic decline in the economy is the decrease in the number of tourists coming to Bali. Therefore, it is necessary to plan to increase tourist visits to Bali and revive the economy
Carry out the performance of the Regional Arts Festival (PKDW). The main purpose of implementing PKDW is to revive the economy. The implementation of this party is well carried out in tourist areas with large and strategic areas with favorable weather conditions. The advantage that can be obtained if PKDW is implemented is to preserve, develop and promote Balinese arts. Almost the same as PKB but PKDW is carried out at tourist sites and the implementation time is every 6 months. The reason it is held every 6 months is because it coincides with the semester holidays. Another advantage is that tourists get vacation satisfaction at the same time, because apart from seeing the natural scenery, tourists also see Balinese art and Balinese souvenirs. Its just that the implementation of PKDW must find the right and strategic place as well as sudden changes in the weather.
Here the governmets role is really needed. However, in carrying out the governments plan so that it runs smoothly and according to expectations, the community has a very important and much needed role here. Therefore, lets cultivate a sense of concern among others and the level of self-awareness to raise the countrys economy for the sake of mutual survival. +
Om Swastyastu, honorable judges of the Wikithon Public Participation Oration, and all Oration participants that I am proud of. I, Putu Bayu Yudha Oka Pratama from SMAN 2 Sukawati will deliver an oration entitled "Pikenoh lahan ring bali ngawit masa ke masa" which discusses an issue that has long been a problem in Bali. Bali is known as a global tourism destination, but behind that, there are serious challenges related to the erosion of green land.
Land change in Bali from time to time is certainly a very important issue and must be addressed immediately, seeing the state of the increasingly eroded land. According to an article in Neliti, land use change in Bali is very important to note because land use change has a major impact on the physical and social environment. In this case, satellite imagery and GIS data were used to determine land use change in Bali. The results showed that land use has changed drastically between 2003 and 2008. Settlements and irrigated rice fields are where the most extensive land use change occurred, at 2,553 hectares. While salt land use did not change at all. This change has led to the development of villas, hotels, shopping centers that are irregular and haphazard.
Irregular and indiscriminate land use change can cause negative impacts on the environment, Balinese people, and even Bali Tourism. Some of the negative impacts that can occur are environmental damage and loss of natural habitat for flora and fauna. In addition, irregular land use change can also cause flooding and landslides. And the most problematic, namely the impact on Bali Tourism. Where, foreign tourists have no interest in coming because it is too full of buildings and little green land left.
To overcome these problems, the future leaders of Bali 2024 must take appropriate and effective action. One solution that can be done is to conduct strict supervision of land use changes in Bali. There must be clear procedures and permits related to land use change. In addition, Bali 2024 leaders should also introduce programs that aim to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly land use. These programs could include the development of organic farming, the use of renewable energy, and waste reduction.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, that's all I have to say about land use issues in Bali. I hope that this oration can be useful so as to realize that the Government and the Community must work together to deal with this problem, Finally, I Bayu say Parama Santhi. Om Santhi, Santhi, Santhi, Om.
Om Swastyastu.
Distinguished guests, first of all, let us say our thanks giving to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, because it is thanks to his grace that we can gather here. On this happy occasion, I would like to deliver a speech about the problem of rubbish in rivers. This problem is one of the problems that exist in Bali, and must be handled by the future leaders of Bali.
We all know that rivers are natural resources that are very important for human life. Rivers provide water for drinking, irrigation and other daily needs. However, unfortunately, our rivers are currently facing a serious problem, namely rubbish pollution.
One of the main reasons why there is a lot of rubbish in rivers is the lack of public awareness about the importance of disposing of rubbish in the right place. Many people still throw rubbish carelessly, including into rivers.
Garbage thrown into rivers can cause various environmental and health problems. This rubbish can clog river flows, causing flooding. Garbage can also pollute river water, endangering human and animal health. Apart from that, rubbish in rivers can damage river ecosystems and reduce natural beauty.
To overcome the problem of waste in rivers, cooperation from all parties is needed, including the government, society and the business world.
The government must provide adequate facilities and infrastructure for waste management, such as rubbish bins, waste transport fleets and final waste disposal sites.
People must have awareness not to throw rubbish carelessly, especially into rivers.
The business world must also play a role in reducing the use of materials that are difficult to decompose, as well as supporting sustainable waste management programs.
I hope that the future leader of Bali who is elected will have a commitment to solving the problem of rubbish in rivers.
The prospective leader must have a clear vision and mission in waste management, as well as a work program that is measurable and can be implemented.
I am sure, if we all work together, we can solve the problem of rubbish in rivers and make Bali a clean, beautiful and healthy island.
Distinguished guests, that's all I can say. If there is an error I apologize. I close with Parama Santih.
Om Santih, Santih, Santih, Om.
Om Swastiastu.
I respect the jury, and all my friends whom I love. Firstly, let us express our gratitude to God Almighty, because thanks to His grace, we can all follow this Basabali Wiki.
All Yowana, trash in this day and age can bring disaster to the Balinese ring, in my neighborhood there is trash piled up like mountains. That's what causes outbreaks of flooding, and mosquitoes breed, causing dengue fever. Evidence that this waste has an impact is that many Balinese people are affected by diseases due to this waste, such as dengue fever, skin infections and other diseases.
What caused the pile of rubbish was because the landfill in Suwung was hit by a fire outbreak due to Bali's hot climate and the community could not accommodate the rubbish at the Suwung landfill, this caused people to throw rubbish in their respective homes. In this outbreak, I hope that the leaders in Bali 2024 will pay more attention to waste in Bali, so that they can provide a clean and comfortable place for the Balinese people.
Come on, all Yowana, we have to protect and preserve the Balinese environment, don't throw rubbish in places that are not places to throw rubbish, we have to preserve the 3M steps (Closing water storage places), (Draining the bathtub once every 7 days), (Reusing things used).
That's all I can say, more or less I apologize, at the end I say sorry, I close with Parama Shanti, Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om. +

Klungkung is one of the districts in Bali. In 2023, Klungkung district will be led by Mr. Nyoman Suwirta. A program that is viral, well-known and used as a role model among the people of Klungkung is the TOSS (Local Waste Processing Place) program. This program received a lot of praise and positive comments from the Klungkung community, and from outside Klungkung. However, recently the TOSS program has not run according to the initial plan and has been ineffective in solving the waste problem in Klungkung. The acting Regent of Klungkung, I Nyoman Jendrika, said that the main problem in Klungkung is the increase in waste volume by up to 2 times, from previously 16 tonnes now to 32 tonnes a day. In other sources, some say that the cause of this waste problem is a lack of public awareness about the function of a beautiful and clean environment. This is also what causes Klungkung to have a lot of rubbish.
Now, what solutions should we take as the young generation of Bali to create a sustainable and clean Klungkung area? The solution that I can convey and recommend is to implement the Tri Hita Karana teachings.
Why Tri Hita Karana? What is the relation?
Tri Hita Karana is one of the Hindu teachings in Bali. Tri Hita karana means "3 things that cause prosperity", which is divided into 3 parts:
1. Parhyangan: Parhyangan is our relationship with Ida Sang Hyang Widhi as the ruler of the universe. I think, if we discuss the word "Parhyangan" we will definitely think of the means of prayer and offerings. However, what I want to discuss is not that, but this parhyangan is about our behavior in holy places such as temples. We should maintain the cleanliness of the temple, by cleaning or offering ngayah. Existing rubbish must not be thrown into rivers or sewers, but must be processed into something more useful. This is also a form of our good relationship with Ida Sang Hyang Widhi.
2. Pawongan: Pawongan is our relationship with other humans. As Balinese people, we should help each other and care about human suffering. Based on the waste problem, we can all implement the teachings of Tri Hita Karana by reminding each other about the importance of a clean and healthy environment. I mean, waste processing in Klungkung doesn't have to be done and processed by TOSS and the government alone, but we all have to try to sort or process waste in our homes. If we could sort and process it in our respective homes, the problem of waste piling up in Klungkung would definitely be resolved.
3. Palemahan ; This Palemahan is one of the teachings of Tri Hita Karana which is most appropriate to the waste problem above. We as citizens of Bali, especially Hindus, definitely believe that humans, animals and beasts are God's creation. Therefore, our relationship with our environment must be maintained. One way to protect our environment is by processing waste. We as the people of Klungkung certainly already know about this TOSS program, therefore let's work together to sort and process waste from our respective homes so that this TOSS can run smoothly and effectively.
In essence, the teachings of Balinese ancestors are things that should be implemented in this era of globalization. Although, it is possible to implement it using modern understanding and methods. We as teenagers or the young generation of Bali should not be lulled by globalization. We must be aware of the latest news, and always preserve Balinese cultural traditions as a role model in our efforts towards a beautiful and clean Bali.
OM Swastyastu,

“May auspicious thoughts come from all directions.”
Dear future leaders of Bali.
Education is the initial provision for achieving goals. Every citizen has the right to education in accordance with Article 31 Paragraph 1 of the 1945 Constitution. The citizens in question are everyone without exception, men, women, children, adults, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Obtaining the right to education is the responsibility of all parties. Parents are obliged to provide basic education to their children. The implementation of education is carried out by the government through the Education Office, both general, special and inclusive education. Now the question is, has the government provided proper access for people with disabilities? The answer is no, brothers and sisters.
I invite you to focus on deafness. There are so many obstacles for deaf people when continuing their education in higher education because access is not properly provided. Campuses accept deaf students, but do not provide appropriate access, so they cannot study properly. Another contributing factor is the use of SIBI (Indonesian Sign Language System) in primary and secondary education. SIBI is confusing for deaf learners and not deaf culture. SIBI is made by hearing people who use Indonesian vocabulary patterns so that deaf people cannot understand the context discussed. According to Ade Wirawan, a deaf activist in Bali, the forced use of SIBI results in Language Deprivation which has an impact on the cognitive development of deaf children and students.
The solution to the forced use of SIBI is to use Bisindo (Indonesian Sign Language) which is a natural language that emerges and develops in the deaf community. Bisindo is a representation of deaf culture so it is strongly fought for by deaf communities, organizations and activists. Regarding the use of Bisindo in educational units, the government has played a role in deaf education with the issuance of Government Regulation No. 13 of 2020 concerning proper accommodation for students with disabilities, especially for deaf or hard of hearing disabilities listed in Article 15. Furthermore there is a Circular Letter from the Directorate General of Community Education and Special Education on September 23, 2021, regarding the widespread use of Bisindo in special education units for the deaf or deaf community in the wider community. PP No. 13/2020 and the above circular are in accordance with Law No. 8/2016 on disability. However, the implementation has not gone according to its purpose. Many have not provided proper accommodation for students or teachers who master sign language in a complex manner.
Things that Bali’s future leaders should realize for equal access to education for deaf students are:
1. Adjust the curriculum according to the needs of the deaf.
2. Provide an introduction to deaf disabilities to teachers at the elementary school level to serve as a guideline in order to provide teaching in an appropriate manner.
3. Provide training to improve complex sign language skills and linguistic understanding of sign language for teachers.
Bali’s future leaders, let’s work together to address these barriers to education, and fix them immediately. Otherwise, the chain of problems will continue to take root and create more complex barriers. Elections are the perfect venue to fix this long-standing problem.
Are you the right person to lead Bali? Are you able to approach the deaf community? Can you fulfill the demands of the deaf community?
OM Shantih Santhi Santhi OM
Garbage and cleanliness problems in Bali have often become the main complaints of tourists on our Island of the Gods. The same thing that impressed me when I was in Bali was the amount of rubbish in famous tourist spots in Bali, such as the area around Dreamland Beach, the streets around the Bedugul tourist area, and in the temple tourist areas in Bali.
It is very interesting that apart from the plastic waste that is still strewn about in Bali, there is also a lot of rubbish left over from prayers, which when I was in Bali, the Balinese rama people were in activities to welcome Galungan and Kuningan. For Balinese krama people, this may be a common thing, because after the ceremony there is usually a cleaning carried out by staff from the local government.
However, it is important to remember that many tourists, both foreign and domestic, are still not used to seeing our habit of 'dirtying' tourist attractions after performing prayers and traditional ceremonies. Unlike in Indonesia, abroad there are no special officers who clean streets and public places. It would be nice if we kept the environment clean without having to depend on street cleaners.
Overcoming the problem of waste and environmental cleanliness can be done by getting us into the habit of cleaning the surrounding home environment. Don't be embarrassed to invite our friends together to clean tourist areas in Bali. The cleaner Bali is, the more our confidence will increase in promoting Bali as the best tourist destination in the world, which of course can improve the economy of the Balinese people.
Apart from that, the Balinese people must be able to reduce the amount of rubbish that is scattered around starting from individuals, whether in the form of plastic waste, the environment, or waste from prayers.
Reducing the amount of waste scattered around does not mean limiting our work that produces waste. Real steps we can take are to always throw away rubbish in the right place, not pollute the temple area by getting used to throwing away the canang and incense left over from our prayers in the rubbish bin, and getting used to picking up rubbish that is in front of us. If necessary, don't hesitate to create a charity activity with your middle school, high school and college friends to work together to clean up tourist attractions in Bali.
There is a very good example that we can emulate from the island of Okinawa - Japan, which in fact is a tourist spot whose conditions are similar to Bali. A small example is getting us into the habit of shopping using shopping bags that can be used repeatedly, in this way we will reduce the amount of plastic waste in Bali.
Think about it carefully, if we don't have Balinese culture, who else wants to maintain cleanliness and care about the waste problem in Bali?

The environmental problems we face today include everything from deforestation to plastic pollution and global warming. Solutions to overcome this problem require comprehensive joint action. It is important to reduce carbon emissions by switching to renewable energy sources, promoting recycling and the use of environmentally friendly products, and protecting natural habitats through conservation and reforestation efforts. Additionally, broader education about environmental protection and policies that support environmentally friendly practices are also needed. Through collaboration between governments, companies and individuals, we can create the positive changes needed to maintain environmental sustainability for future generations. +

The Smart Indonesia Card (KIP) is also called the Smart Indonesia Program (PIP). This is the Jokowi government's first program which is part of the Healthy Indonesia Card (KIS) and the Prosperous Family Card (KKS). The Smart Indonesia program aims to increase access for school-age children from poor families to school. KIP is a card intended for poor and vulnerable families who want to send their children (aged 7-18 years) to school for free. KIP recipients are given regular cash funds from the government which are stored in the KIP card function to attend school for free, both those who have registered and those who have not yet registered in schools or madrasas so that the dropout rate can drop drastically.
So, the target of KIP is for students who excel and are less fortunate. But in fact its implementation is not in line with expectations, many cases occur regarding KIP being mistargeted. One of them occurred in Bangli Regency. A real example is in my own village, namely Banua Village. Those who are entitled to get KIP (Smart Indonesia Card) are children or students whose families are on the line or in the Poor Family Card (KK) group so that at first glance the KIP program is right on target, but if you look more deeply In fact, the KIP or PIP program still finds errors in its implementation. There are many students in my village whose families are not in the poor family, but in fact these students are underprivileged students. And because of the implementation of the poor KK, students who are not included in the poor KK, who are in fact less well off, cannot make KIP. Even though these students are students who excel and really need the KIP. An example of a student who experiences KIP inaccuracies is myself. I'm not in the poor KK line so I can't get the KIP, even though in fact I really need the card myself. Not to mention that the KIP cannot be made because I am not a poor family member, but in reality my family and I are not someone who can afford it. So, that was the inaccuracy of KIP in Bangli Regency, so what about the wrong target? I have also experienced this wrong KIP target. At that time, I was in junior high school, one of my friends from Trunyan Village had a KIP and received a scholarship even though he himself was someone who was capable and quite rich, had a nice house and had no economic difficulties. This is what makes me feel that KIP in Bangli is still not on target and its implementation tends to be inappropriate and even unfair. Then what solution should the government take? In my opinion, what the government must do to overcome the problem of inaccuracy and wrong targeting of the KIP is, first to do research on the students who receive the KIP, whether they are really underprivileged students? We can see this from the condition of their homes, their parents' jobs, their parents' income every month and so on, well if someone fulfills the things that make them get KIP as I explained above and they are a smart and outstanding student then in my opinion they are worthy of getting KIP. In short, the Bangli Regency Government must be more careful in recruiting students who are worthy of receiving the KIP.
Promote domestic tourism and address infrastructure gaps
In 2019, about 16 million foreign visitors came to Indonesia. The sector contributed $20 billion in foreign exchange revenue and employed about 13 million people or around 10 percent of the total workforce. The COVID-19 pandemic hit the industry hard. In the first half of 2020, arrivals to Indonesia were off by almost 60 percent, the industry is expected to lose $10 billion in foreign exchange revenues for the full year, and more than 90 percent of the workers in the sector have been furloughed indefinitely without pay.
Even when the world begins recovering from the pandemic, it remains unclear how quickly travelers will be willing to jump onto planes and visit the beaches of Bali, the forests of Borneo, and other popular destinations. In addition, countries dependent on tourism will all be competing for smaller groups of travelers for a while. Recovery in the tourist sector is likely to lag behind that of others.
Looking forward, we expect travelers will, at least initially, avoid in-person contact in booking, traveling, and even staying at their destinations. They will prefer shorter trips to outdoor destinations and flexible cancellation policies. In addition, those staying at hotels and other large accommodations will put a premium on visible evidence of greater cleanliness and hygiene than in the past.
To help the tourist sector rebound as quickly as possible, Indonesia should focus on two crucial areas. The first is promoting domestic tourism. Evidence from many markets has shown that domestic travel has recovered more quickly than international travel, especially among young tourists who see themselves as less vulnerable. In China, for instance, domestic air travel reached 90 percent of 2019 levels by August 2020, while international travel was still lagging well behind.
Unlike international tourists, who concentrate in Bali and East Nusa Tenggara, the majority of domestic tourists in Indonesia visit Java. To push rates of domestic tourism, the government and operators should promote lesser-known domestic attractions, like the Lake Toba region in North Sumatra, the Mandalika area in East Nusa Tenggara, and Likupang Beach in North Sulawesi. Discounts and other incentives could also help ignite domestic travel.
The country can also use the unintended lull in visitors to beef up its tourist infrastructure. The disruption provides an opportunity, for example, to improve airports, accommodations, and other facilities. The jump in digital activity brought by the pandemic can also be used to accelerate the adoption of new technologies by operators in the sector, from online booking systems to advanced analytics that can offer real-time information on tourist activities and behaviors.

From The Phala, https://www.thephala.com/the-artist-photographer-putu-sayoga/
Only a handful of photographers in Indonesia are into documentary photography. Compared to hard news photography, documentary requires more length of time when it comes to the creative process. Therefore, it demands work consistency and usually more production cost.
With all those challenges, Putu Sayoga, a Bali based photographer, is still in love with this unique style of photography. As a self-taught, he started his career from scratch in 2009, when he was a college student in Gadjah Mada University, Jogjakarta. During that initial period, documentary photography was already appealing for him. This form allows him to be acquainted with his photo subjects and has a longer interaction with them, so later he could present works that are narratively and visually more powerful.
Documentary opens up a wider horizon for Sayoga to expand his ideas and aspirations. It gives more space for him to tell the thorough stories of his photo subjects. Most of his photographs give a voice to the unheard inspirational figures and stories that are not yet sufficiently covered by the media. His works not only thought-provoking but poetically captured the genuineness and complexity of human beings.
One of his intriguing projects is “Library with the Horse,” (2015). It is a touching story about Ridwan Sururi, a horse caretaker who dedicates his time to create a small mobile library called “Kuda Pustaka” that is attached to his horse. Every week Sururi and his horse go around his village in Purbalingga, Central Java, giving free access for kids to read books. This documentary has been published in international media such as The New York Times and Aljazeera. Surprisingly, following the publication, many people around the world contacted Sayoga and donated books for Sururi’s library. It is definitely an example of how powerful storytelling can be!
Currently Sayoga has two ongoing projects. The first one started in 2013, encompasses the change caused by modernization at his own village that is located in a rural area in Bali. The other one entitled, “Living under the Volcanoes,” begins in 2017. This long-term project tells stories about the life of societies who over generations settle near the volcanoes in Indonesia; how they are living with the danger and their culture.
There are more than 150 volcanoes in this country. For his ambitious project, Sayoga has explored 6 of them including Mount Agung, Mount Ijen, Bromo, Dieng Plateau, Sinabung, and Gamalama. He went from Sumatera, Bali, Java, to Moluccas to search for and experience authentic stories. This project has been published in various media like ZEIT Magazine, Post Magazine, and GEO.

He came, he saw, he created. renowned artist Futura and Potato Head put on quite the show with river warrior.
New York City artist Futura2000, in collaboration with Potato Head, has created two sculptures titled ‘Pointman – River Warrior’, which were unveiled in Singapore and Bali. Created using waste collected across the island of Bali, Pointman speaks to Potato Head’s ideation that sustainability can be beautiful. Initially lauded as a pioneering graffiti artist, Futura2000 is known for his ground-breaking use of abstraction in the 1980s and has always been progressive in his philosophy, methodology, and practice of art. Adjacent to his body of abstract paintings, he has developed a universe and lexicon around an otherworldly character: the Pointman. Over the years, Pointman has taken many forms across drawing, painting, and sculpture.
The collaboration with Potato Head sees Pointman emerge with a new mission in the materials of its design. River and ocean pollution has long been a central concern of Futura2000. Located on the Hudson River in New York City, the view from his studio of the Statue of Liberty is obscured by vessels transporting trash and free-floating river garbage. In reaction to this, the use of waste for the fabrication of the sculptures is a social commentary on the pollution crisis faced by both rivers and tributaries in New York City and Southeast Asia.
On 9 December, the courtyard of the OMA-designed Potato Head Studios in Bali unveiled the second River Warrior sculpture. For this Pointman, everything from motor oil bottles to discarded water gallon lids sourced by the community organisation, Yayasan Kakikita, were used. The event brought together traditional Balinese ideals with Futura2000’s urban aesthetic and featured a performance by Australian dance company Chunky Move, talks, craft beers, and Balinese food stalls.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Futura2000 (b. Leonard Hilton McGurr, 1955, New York) is an abstract painter whose practice first developed in New York during the 1970s. One of the earliest graffiti artists to introduce abstraction into his work, Futura was also among the first graffiti artists to be shown in contemporary art galleries in the early 1980s. Early exhibitions of his work include presentations at Patti Astor’s Fun Gallery and Tony Shafrazi Gallery, as well as within the historic Times Square show of 1980, alongside Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Rammellzee, and Kenny Scharf. MoMA PS1 brought the artists together again in its landmark 1981 exhibition, New York / New Wave. Futura collaborated with the punk band The Clash during this time as well, designing their album art and painting on large-scale canvases behind the band as they performed in concert. In recent years, he created collaborative works with Takashi Murakami and exhibited them at Kaikai KiKi Gallery in Tokyo. He worked with Virgil Abloh on collections for Off-White and Louis Vuitton and staged visuals for the designer at Coachella. Futura’s work has been shown at The New Museum, New York; MOCA, Los Angeles; the Groninger Museum, the Netherlands; Yvon Lambert, Galerie De Noirmont, and the Galerie du jour agnès b., Paris. In 2020, the Noguchi Museum presented Futura Akari, an installation of Akari light sculptures customized by Futura; he created a large site-specific installation at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, and he was included in the exhibition Writing the Future: Basquiat and the Hip Hop Generation at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Original article printed in BALI!Now
The rebranding and reconfiguration of the Bali tourism industry from Desa Wisata to Desa Kreatif (tourism village to creative village) is essential. Tourism products shift from vacation leisure activities to learning and innovation experiences up-skilling people as entrepreneurs within the 21st-century global creative economy.
Demographics have changed from the leisure-focused baby boomers to the X, Y, Z, and millennial generations who tend to be orientated towards creative and entrepreneurial adventures. The market evolves from internationals to a mixed domestic and international audience. The emphasis changes from ‘trading’ to instilling innovative and entrepreneurial knowledge...
The rebranding of tourism transforms Bali into a global centre of innovation and learning. Desa Kreatif preserves the ‘gotong-royong’ village model of shared collective responsibilities. The environment is a decentralised, fully distributed, unified infrastructure providing equal opportunity and enhanced diversification. A sustainable ecosystem eliminates competition, empowered by the abundance philosophy and the entrepreneurial spirit. A renewed sense of shared values and belonging motivates stakeholders to collaborate to serve the whole’s best interests.

I am an anthropologist by training, though my teaching and research tend to cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries—in pursuit of questions pertaining to the historical and ethnographic study of religion, media and performance in South and Southeast Asia. More specifically, my work has primarily focused on Indonesia and the wider Malay region. I also have a longstanding interest in the philosophy of the human sciences.
Before coming to Victoria, I taught for six years at the Institut für Ethnologie, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, where I was a member of the collaborative research initiative on Material Text Cultures. There I completed the Habilitation in Anthropology. I have also held research and teaching positions at the University of Chicago, Harvard University, Williams College and Universitas Udayana.
As to academic training, I completed the doctorate in both Anthropology and Religious Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (2002). Prior to this I had taken an MA in Oriental and African Religions (SOAS, 1995), with formal examinations in Sanskrit language, Indian philosophy and Buddhist Studies. My BA was in Religious Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara (1994).

to reignite the genre and encourage regeneration that can lead to its future
sustainability.
Richard Winkler dream of a utopian world where man and nature were tightly integrated. and then he woke up in it.
Richard, how did your upbringing influence your artistic style?
During my childhood, I spent a lot of time with my grandfather, whom I admired. He was enormously talented in drawing and painting, and we spent a lot of time together. He also took me out into Nature, where we walked for hours, and he taught me everything about flora and fauna. He was a great inspiration, and he showed me how to draw and how to appreciate and love the natural world around us. During the same time, I had to spend a lot of time in hospital in order to undergo many surgeries to correct the growth of my bones, as I was suffering from a rare bone disorder. This created an early awareness of the physical body and its limbs. It was fascinating to me when the doctor measured angles and the length of my bones, and how he could open up my body to correct those after drawing lines on my limbs. In summertime, I usually spent a lot of time playing in an old garden and plant nursery near my home, forgetting all the pain I had to go through the rest of the year. I loved all the greenhouses, which were full of exotic plants and trees such as banana and orange trees. It was hot and humid, and I could smell the plants and the soil. This world was magical and full of energy and fertility. This was life, and life wanted to flourish. I often dreamt and fantasized about exotic and tropical worlds where my soul was happy and free, a kind of paradise where you picked fruits from the trees, and life was free from troubles. My early childhood drawings often depicted tropical landscapes with exotic colourful birds and animals.
What was your initial impression of Bali, and how did it inspire your art?
When I first landed in Bali, I discovered the world I had been dreaming about, a kind of Garden of Eden full of life and colours. The tropical nature was alive and amazing, and the soil so incredibly fertile. People were friendly, and everyone seemed to be able to talk about art and aesthetics. And everyone seemed to be creative in one form or another. Bali was full of life, colours, details, sounds, and smells. It really appealed to all my senses and made me feel incredibly alive. Even the ground was not stable and moved sometimes.
I loved the passionate rains and thunderstorms, which were so intense and powerful. Life itself was at maximum in Bali, and I couldn’t feel anything but very alive. I loved it. Over time, I found lots of inspiration in the traditional life at the rice paddies, in Nature, and in markets. I love the simple life of man and nature, tightly integrated. Perhaps it’s still a dream in my mind about a Utopian world free of pain and sorrow. But it’s a beautiful dream, longing for peace and harmony in one’s soul.
Can you describe your creative process and how it has evolved over time?
During my time in art school, I became more and more fascinated by the human body. I spent countless hours drawing from life models to study the forms and lines of the body. I was especially fascinated by simple lines and how they cut and overlapped each other. I eventually started to play with these forms, stretching them and deconstructing them to my liking, a little bit like an orthopedic doctor rearranging the bones and limbs. The body doesn’t need to look anatomically correct to actually function and feel right. The important thing is that it feels good and works correctly. That’s how I construct the bodies on the canvas.
Do you see Bali as a colourful Utopian paradise?
I might dream about this Utopian paradise free of pain and sorrow and full of life, love, beauty and harmony. But of course this fantasy world doesn’t exist in reality. Wherever we live, life will always be life including everything from tears to laughter, and that’s how we grow ourselves and our characters. And maybe that is the real beauty and goal of life itself.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am present here to voice an echoing yet unheard plea, which is the fate of the cries of abandoned and cruelly tortured animals. The Island of Bali is too beautiful to be inhabited by these grim animals.
These animals are pets tortured cruelly for personal pleasure, beaten to disability out of hatred, stolen to be eaten. Animals employed like the overworked horses forced to endure harsh conditions. Experimental animals, such as frogs dissected without anesthesia, also suffer unwarranted pain.
I appeal to the Bali Province Regional Council to strengthen Regional Regulation No. 1 of 2023 regarding the Protection of Flora and Fauna. I highlight the ambiguity in the rules regarding the definition of "keeping" animals in Article 11 paragraph 1 section c. However, in Article 1 paragraph 9, it states that Wildlife includes all animals living on land, in water, or in the air, retaining their wild nature, whether they live freely or are kept by humans.
With clear and robust legal foundations, many positive things will emerge: more people will dare to speak up for animal protection, impart moral lessons to children, and raise awareness of the importance of compassion towards animals, boosting the government's morality in the eyes of the public. Communities or individuals independently rescuing and caring for these animals will also be supported and have continuous collaboration with the government.
Together, let us make Bali a safe and comfortable place for the animals living here, following the footsteps of developed countries like Switzerland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Germany, and Australia in animal protection. Through this speech, what I "HOPE," becoming what "WE" HOPE, and ultimately becoming what "WE ALL" HOPE FOR. With one heart, let us make Bali a paradise for these animals. +

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. +

Om swastyastu
Dear sir/madam jury
And my respected audience
Before I start my oration, I want to first express my thanks to the Almighty God (Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa) because it is with His grace that I can give an oration now.
Related to the Balinese leadership election which will be held in 2024 in Bali.
with this oration I would like to convey that I hope this election can be carried out fairly, without any coercion, one of which is without money politics, because this is very vulnerable to things happening where prospective leaders bribe their people with money to obtain money. leadership, and the same goes for individuals who carry out elections, because there are certain payments or results that will be obtained after holding elections, individuals often choose leaders not based on justice and honesty, but choose leaders with the aim of getting rewards.
Apart from that, Article 22E of the Constitution also states that elections are held publicly, freely, confidentially, honestly and fairly.
It doesn't stop there, the reality is that choosing the right leader is the path to prosperity for the nation, there are many problems in Bali which also cause us to really have to choose the right leader, such as the increasing problem of poverty, such as due to inadequate minimum wages, so there are lots of beggars on the streets, then there is also the problem of utilizing natural resources, ecosystems are often destroyed due to not being able to utilize natural resources properly, resulting in a decrease in income, there is also the problem of the large amount of waste that is not managed in Bali which is due to the large number of people who don't care about it. the surrounding environment, to the point of eliminating the unique beauty of Bali.
So can our future leaders overcome this problem? I hope that these problems can be overcome by our future leaders.
So it can be concluded that,
Not only is it stated in the constitution that governs us, but elections also concern people's lives in the future, it is also hoped that prospective leaders will be able to carry out elections fairly and without cheating by engaging in money politics.
Let us carry out elections fairly and honestly, because carrying out elections intelligently will create a prosperous society in the future.
That's all the speech I can deliver, I hope the speech I deliver can be useful. I'm sorry if I made a mistake, at the end I close with Parama Santhi, Om Santhi, Santhi, Santhi Om.
As for the aspirations that I want to pour out to revive the economy in Bali, the points are as follows:
There is control of the epidemic itself. The main thing that must be done is to reduce cases of transmission of the Covid-19 virus in Bali through the acceleration of the Covid-19 vaccination program. We can make this the main fortress in the face of the COVID-19 outbreak in Bali.
Then the next step is to tighten the procedures (3M) on the island of the gods by involving all elements of society and foreign tourists who will vacation in Bali to participate together in complying with the program. This is done to restore the world's trust in the island of Bali through the discipline of health care, and the addition of health facilities so that they are adequate and suitable for use, such as the construction of self-quarantine rooms, providing Thermal Detectors or rapid tests and ensuring the safety and comfort of tourism, because good Health Tourism actually can increase the interest of tourists to vacation in Bali. Not only in terms of progress: the island of Bali must also optimize all existing fields to participate in supporting the economy, so that this strategy does not only come from the tourism sector but through optimizing all existing sectors, such as the Agriculture Plantation Sector, the Village-Based Digital Empowerment Sector. Customs, Endek and Songket SME Centers, Creative Economy SMEs and others. Through the cooperation of all economic actors, we can slowly revive the economy in Bali.
The next step is through the development of the Essential Business Travel Corridor (TCA), the collaboration carried out with several countries for the purposes of Essential Business, Diplomatic and Service which has been initiated by the government.
Of all the points above, one point that is no less important is to build a positive image to foreign countries towards tourism in Bali, so that tourists are more interested in vacationing in Bali. This can be done by improving the hospitality sector (through HR training), improve facilities, make tourist attractions more attractive, cheaper rates and others to improve the tourism sector in Bali to make it more attractive to tourists. As we know, the island of Bali is a tourist island that has a variety of interesting tourist attractions, along with culinary and and cultural traditions adding positive points to the tourism sector in Bali.
Nowadays young people often argue about the problems faced today regarding the advancement of existing infrastructure and facilities by speaking according to their abilities but not listened to by the government and sometimes ignored
So we also have to improve our courage by learning and being serious about creating work and studying so that we can move forward +

A stylistic heir to Walter Spies, Le Mayeur and his mentor, the Indonesian-Dutch painter Arie Smit, Symon was among the last in the lineage of foreign artists who have helped raise Bali’s international profile as an exotic destination for art and design. Renowned for his vivid pop style with new iconic motifs, he was born on April 13, 1947, as Ronald Thomas Bierl in Detroit, Michigan, the United States, and made Bali his home in 1978. He was installed in the Puri Kaler of Ubud Palace by the Ubud royal family, who had for decades been patrons of foreign artists. Symon later took over Arie Smit’s cottage in nearby Campuhan, where his studio grew into local landmark. In 2014, he moved full-time to his other destination studio at Alas Sari in North Bali, Art Zoo, which he had founded in 1998.
Symon, who passed away on April 15, 2020 of natural causes from sepsis, was incredibly prolific and successful, creating many thousands of artworks in several countries.
His work was widely collected by tastemakers like former minister Joop Ave, especially during the 1990s and 2000s trend for Asian neotraditional style. Many collectors built submersive Symon environments, as at Qunci Villas in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. A book series on Southeast Asian interiors had to swap some paintings in many of its featured homes because too many of their architects and owners had put Symons on their walls.
Symon’s art is cherished for its vivid color, strong outlines and exuberant energy. His figurative paintings and sculpture project a friendly, fantastical appeal, combining the rawness of real-life models and scenes within compositions from mythology and lesser-known Bali history. His sense of line, hue and witty slogans draw from his origins as a cartoonist in the 1960s American counter-culture.
Raised in a house at the corner of Detroit’s Normal Road and Common Street, he was far from normal or common and yearned to escape convention. He was an exciting personality to be around, popping with fresh ideas. An outrageous showman, he would tell wild anecdotes and burst into rhyming raps. As a precocious teen under the pseudonym John Ka, he wrote to Beat Generation poets like Allen Ginsburg, William Burroughs and William Carlos Williams, who sent him new poems to illustrate. He soon became an artist in underground zines like Fifth Estate and got to know New York legends like Frank Zappa and Andy Warhol.
Until making Bali his permanent home, he kept trying new locations. As a youth, he twice ran away to Rome, where he studied under the sculptor Emilio Greco and got the attention of film director Federico Fellini, who dubbed him “the magician of the air”. On the overland route from Amsterdam to India, a road accident in Turkey broke his hip. While recovering he renamed himself Simon White. He finally made it to India and then went north to Nepal.
Over eight years in Kathmandu, Simon helped preserve the traditional art of Tibetan woodblock printing. With three partners he opened Himalayan antique shops in London, Amsterdam and New York. Like many “Easties”, he became expert in Asian traditional knowledge, which later infused his artworks. In the mid-1970s, Simon spent periods in the New York art scene, Colombia and Wales, England. In each new location, his studios echoed Warhol’s Factory in being a networking hub and a venue for arty “happenings”. He formed several creative teams, from the Psychic League in Rome and Fantabulous Group in Nepal to the Levitation League in Legian, Bali. In his Ubud garden, he staged theatrical productions at the amphitheater designed by the futuristic architect R. Buckminster Fuller. In each location, he trained up teams of local artisans. In Nepal he hired Tibetan refugees to carve new and replacement woodblocks to the old ones he printed from. He brought screen printing to Bali in the 1980s and then to Cambodia in Minefield Studios at Siem Reap in the early 1990s. His most famous breakthrough was JakPak, a range of convertible clothing co-created with Annie Anderson and Kiyoshi Okuda, in which pop-hued jackets and hats could turn into bags through hidden pockets. JakPak became Bali’s first clothing export and an international phenomenon collected by the likes of Mick Jagger.
Symon kept ahead of the curve, since his aim in life was constant reinvention under a motto “towards a functional reality”. Many of his creations were practical as well as fun, from JakPak to his Toyniture — quirky furnishings like his Lady Chairs and giant dining table. He conjured outlandish architecture, like his key-hole windowed pagoda at Art Zoo, which he filled with sculptures and oddities. The maximalist effect of all these “studio atmospherics” beguiled visitors and in turn became props for his paintings. The Art Zoo remains visually stunning. Symon’s heir and Art Zoo’s Balinese manager aim to reopen it as a destination where locals and tourists can continue to appreciate Symon’s distinctive art of Bali.

CHALLENGES THAT PROSPECTIVE LEADERS OF BALI MUST BE ABLE TO FACE
Om swastyastu
First of all, I would like to thank you very much for the opportunity,
The 2024 elections are just around the corner.
Bali is the Island of the Gods, Bali is world famous for its tourist and cultural destinations.
The complex problems that Bali's prospective leaders must face require serious attention. Examples include the actions of tourists in Bali, waste management in Bali, the welfare of the Balinese people, and corruption.
Prospective leaders must be able to formulate policies, and be able to take action to overcome problems or obstacles well, as well as collaborate with various parties. And prospective leaders of Bali must firmly take policies or actions so that Bali remains prosperous, stable and sustainable. Bali Island beautiful that continues to shine with its natural and cultural wonders, +
Arts and culture studies are the result of work and creativity based on the norms and behavior of the Balinese people who are involved in preserving Bali's cultural heritage through artistic and cultural wisdom. It is hoped that arts and culture can be developed again by using technology to develop and develop works of art. Apart from that, introducing art and culture to the younger generation as a means of providing an understanding of philosophy and the values of the existence of cultural objects. The aim of this activity is to encourage the younger generation to learn about arts and culture in their region as a means of increasing cultural sustainability and as a means of preserving local culture, developing knowledge-oriented activities and as a form of preserving arts and culture. This is important so that the Balinese people, especially young people, can gain better motivation and understanding, and can participate in the process of internalizing these cultural values into their own lives. +
The problem that must be resolved by the future leader of Bali is the rubbish in Bali. As we can see in the surrounding environment, there is still a lot of rubbish scattered on the roads, in rivers and also in ditches. If the rubbish in the gutter is not cleaned it will make the gutter full of rubbish and during the rainy season it will cause flooding because there is no waterway.
Prospective Balinese leaders must be firm with people who throw rubbish carelessly. The most important waste that must be resolved is plastic waste. Plastic waste in landfills has overflowed. If this plastic waste is embedded in the ground, it will prevent plants from getting good water. Moreover, if the plastic is burned it will cause pollution. Bali's prospective leaders must solve this waste problem. Maybe elected leaders can create an association or training to recycle plastic waste. What started as plastic waste became crafts such as flowers from used plastic, pencil cases, flower pots, and others. These crafts can be sold and people who don't have jobs can make money.
This solution might help reduce waste in Bali, and at the same time help the government with the waste problem. Prospective Balinese leaders must pay attention to the surrounding environment so that it remains clean and beautiful. +
Theo Meier was born in 1908 in Basle, Switzerland. He was educated in the arts at the Basle School of the Arts. He had worked as a portrait painter for the University of Basle. He made his first trip to Berlin, where he met Liebermann and Hofer at the Berlin Academy, as well as Emil Nolde, one of the contemporary painters he admired most. He studied with Otto Dix who influenced him greatly.
Meier left Europe for the South Pacific at the age of 24. To finance his travels, he founded a club, where each member promised a monthly fee in exchange for which they could choose one of Meier's paintings upon his return. He sailed to Papeete via Guadeloupe, Martinique, and the Panama Canal, inspired by the beauty he encountered, but also disillusioned by the presence of Western influence.
After returning briefly to Basel, he went to Bali where his life was changed forever. In Bali, he found an innocence that he did not find in Tahiti. He befriended the German painter Walter Spies, and later moved into the German artist's bamboo house. He married his first Balinese wife in 1936. When the Japanese arrived in Bali in 1941, Meier was granted permission to stay in Bali, unlike his friend Walter Spies who met his death aboard a prisoner of war ship crossing the Indian Ocean. Unfortunately, many of his paintings were lost, some of which were given to Japanese sailors. After the war, Meier remarried, fathering a daughter.
After 15 years in Southeast Asia, Meier briefly returned to Switzerland, but then returned to Bali, followed by Thailand. In 1957, he married Laiad, his third wife. In 1961, Meier moved to Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand, where he lived with Laiad in a beautiful teak house on the banks of the Ping River. He was a prolific artist and continued to paint until his death in Thailand in 1982. +

The ambitious goal is to remove 100,000 kilos of waste per year from the Bali's rivers. +
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.

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.

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.
Gianyar Regency is one of the districts in Bali Province which is famous for its natural beauty, rich culture and huge tourism potential. However, like other regions, Glanyar Regency also has various problems that need to be addressed immediately to improve the quality of life of the community and regional development as a whole. One of the problems often experienced by the people of Gianyar Regency is the problem of poverty. Even though the tourism potential is quite large, not everyone can feel the benefits.

Inadequate infrastructure causes people's access to education, health and transportation to be limited. This makes it difficult for rural communities to access. To overcome this problem, local governments need to carry out various programs that can improve community welfare, such as providing social assistance, skills training, and developing the economic potential of local communities.

On Swastyastu
I would like to express my gratitude to the presence of God Almighty for his generous support in being able to deliver an oration entitled "TOURISM UNDER THE BALI RING"
The island of Bali or the island of a thousand temples is famous for its unique tourism and culture. The island of Bali has many tourist attractions that attract local guests as well as tourists from foreign countries who come to Bali for a holiday and enjoy the natural beauty of Bali. The tourist attraction in Bali that is most often crowded with tourists is Ubud. In Ubud there are many tourist attractions such as the Ubud monkey forest, Bali bird walks, the Ubud art market, the Blanco Renaissance Museum and others.
Sometimes when we cross the road in Ubud, we often get stuck in traffic jams due to the crowds of tourists walking around. There are so many tourists on holiday in Bali that we are overwhelmed by the behavior of tourists who carry out actions that exceed the limits set by the local community.
However, tourism activities help revive the community's economy. Also, the culture and tourist attractions in Bali are becoming more famous on the world stage, and can attract tourists to vacation in Bali.
That's all my oration that I explained, forgive me if there are any statements that are offensive or not pleasing to your heart. I say thank you, at the end I close with parama santih.
Om santih, santih, santih om +
Democracy is a 'surrogate election' by incompetent parties in which many agreements are perverted.
Democracy has now been greatly eroded by the current of globalization, even democracy itself has become a pioneer which has resulted in our country being influenced by foreign or western countries. In fact, it can be said that currently Indonesian democracy reflects more on external democracy so that the meaning of democracy itself has been erased or even faded. In fact, if Indonesia wants, we can make this democracy a forum for making the country developed. The cultivation of democracy itself should also have started from an early age so that the understanding contained therein can become a motivation for a good state life. And the nation's next generation will be able to implement a good and correct democratic system.
Indeed, it can be said that Indonesia is a democratic country, but in fact that democracy has been eroded and even polluted by foreign countries that have entered our country. Especially at this time, after I read and quoted from detik.com there it was explained that former Indonesian President Megawati Soekarnoputri confirmed that the validity of democracy in Indonesia was being tested. Because there are still citizens who cannot accept diversity in Indonesia. Many people differentiate between religion, race, or who they are. Leaders should be able to erase all of that, not just make promises.
With these differences, it is clear that Indonesia is not a democratic country because Indonesia has been oppressed by the current of globalization which is becoming more and more rampant among society. Even if we look at the government system, Indonesia has adopted a western country system. reflecting on rural areas that have never been reached by the government and are thought to be forgotten by the government. So here it will give rise to discrimination that the village is not the State of Indonesia because it is never considered. And young people who will succeed the nation will never be instilled with a spirit of democracy because their parents are reluctant to see a president who has treated the villages unfairly.
This will be a great opportunity for other countries to develop business and make rural residents think better of foreign countries.
In my opinion, there are several things that make democracy possible so that it can be implemented well, democracy provides the opportunity to enable citizens to participate directly or through their agents, in the formulation, development and making of laws. And the most important thing is, Indonesian citizens must be able to implement cooperation not only with the government but also with the people. Because good democracy is created by the government for the people and back to the people.

“The very first night I slept over at my new studio an owl flew into the garden. It wasn’t a coincidence that I noticed it perched in a tree,” says Balinese artist Wayan Sila. “This was a
special experience and powerful omen. A gift from the Gods to me.”
The owl is much revered by indigenous cultures and in folklore around the world as a
guardian spirit, as well as a wise creature capable of extraordinary sight. Balinese
mythology reveals that if an owl visits a family compound while a female member is
pregnant this is indeed a positive sign. Burung Hantu literally translates from bahasa
Indonesia into the English language as ghost bird; or the owl, the mysterious bird of the
night.
“I have a unique connection with owls. It is a potent image that resonates with my heart. I
was intuitively led to draw the owl and then I began to include it in my works. It has now
manifested into a personal symbolic image, equivalent to the Barong. The owl also
encourages me to reflect on the joy that I derive from my family life,” says Wayan.
Born in Ubud, 1970, Wayan Silawasinspired by his grandfather, well known local artist
Wayan Barwa. From an early age he regularly visited Barwa’sstudio and gallery,
surrounded by the paintings of his Balinese heritage, this was the perfect scenario for a
child to learn to draw and paint.
Wayan soon became adept in the “Ubud Style” of modern traditional Balinese painting. In
the evolution of Balinese painting during the last century, from its origins of the Classical
Kamasan style that concerned teachings from the Hindu Epics, each village then began to
create their own distinctive style.
The Ubud style moved away from the religious and began to be characterized by
narratives that involve daily village life and depictions of rural and environmental
landscapes. The artists from Ubud were quick to adopt western influences in the 1930’s,
depth of field, shades of color, localized narratives and the development of the human
figure. The Kamasan style was originally a collective work and never signed by an
individual. The new personalized and expressive form of Balinese painting has its roots
firmly entrenched here in Ubud.
Wayan’s canvases are beautifully composed and resound with an overwhelming sense of
balance and harmony. His highly detailed works are first sketched in pencil then outlined
in black Chinese ink, finally they are rendered in acrylic paint with a fine kaus bamboo, a
small piece of bamboo crafted with a tiny point to apply the medium. A large canvas, 100 x
80 cms, may take up to six months to complete. “In 1997 I was inspired to include owls in my compositions after seeing a wonderful sketch by a Japanese child.”
Wayan’s relationship with the burung hantu then activated an endearing association with
the people of Japan, to whom the owl is symbolic of happiness. He first visited Japan in
2002 and his premiere solo exhibition there was in 1998. Every year since then Wayan has
enjoyed the privilege of exhibiting work in galleries, department stores, even in the
Indonesian Consulate in Tokyo. He has held over 15 solo exhibitions in Japan, and
numerous other exhibitions in Bali, Jakarta, Spain and also at the prestigious Agung Rai
Museum of Art in Ubud.
“It’s an honor for me to be invited on intercultural exchange programs teaching young
Japanese students traditional Balinese painting techniques. I do this each year when I visit
Japan.” Wayan has since developed a healthy market for his works there and continues to
ell to the Japanese tourists who often visit his Ubud studio/gallery.

Wayan’s cooperative works with Japanese poet Yoko Jatiasih have been the focus of two books. They initially
collaborated in 1998 to create music and poetry for his paintings. In 2004 their first book “Kata Kata” Echoes From The
Woods, and then in 2010 “Pelan Pelan” were published.
Browsing through these books, the creative synergy between the two is easy to recognize. Yoko’s short poems, no more
than 6 lines, resonate with an uncomplicated intelligence. Upon the opposing page to the text are Wayan’s
complimentary images created especially to accompany each poem.
As you contemplate the words essence, as well as study Wayan’s images, the mysterious bird of the nights’full round
eyes are firmly transfixed upon you. The fusion of words along with the images perplex the imagination, and then defy
you to believe their medium is the owl’s silent and alluring gaze.
In 2011 Wayan relocated to his new studio gallery in Jalan Bisma in Ubud. Journey 400 meters along Jalan Bisma until the
roadside urban development gives way to the effervescence of the padis. Down on the right hand side nestled in the
sawah you will find his small abode. Look for the sign on the road then follow the narrow path that divides the green
swaying fields to his studio/gallery encircled by the bamboo fence.
Wayan has created a personal space that reflects the elements that enrich and sustain him. Situated in the middle of the
yard he has built a bamboo bale which functions as his studio, yet also as a place of quiet retreat. The surrounding
garden is abundant with organic vegetables, fruit trees, medicinal herbs, ornamental shrubs and flowers. Indeed, Wayan
has created his special own oasis.
As you enter his two Bali dogs are quick to offer enthusiastic toothy greetings. The verdant vegetation is soothing and
inviting. I discover two rabbits, four exotic birds and frogs and snakes frequent visitors, so Wayan tells me. Stone
carvings covered with brilliant green moss hide among the foliage, shrines and small Hindu temples are adorned with
offerings and the sweet sent of burning incense seduces the senses. An outhouse serves as a simple kitchen and two
rooms contain Wayan’s gallery painting collection and books for sale.
When we observe Wayan’s paintings we enter into a beautiful and extraordinarily tranquil world. His owls’ peer out
from within forests and lush scenes, their big eyes possess a magnetic pull and communicate a language that is
deciphered in our hearts. Wayan Sila is a painter of immense sensitivity and his works are vehicles of healing qualities and love.

In my opinion, the most urgent problem that needs to be addressed by prospective Balinese leaders, namely regarding foreign tourists which has gone viral recently, let us together reflect and dig deeper into the problems involving these foreign tourists. As we know, Bali is a charming tourist paradise, but unfortunately, there are several problems that arise along with the increase in visits by foreign tourists to this island.
First of all, we cannot close our eyes to the social and cultural impacts caused by the presence of foreigners in Bali. Sometimes, there is a misunderstanding between foreign tourists and local people regarding the cultural norms that apply here. Several incidents such as the use of clothing that is considered inappropriate, the large number of foreign tourists who do not respect Balinese culture or behavior that is not in accordance with Balinese customs and traditions often cause tension between the two parties, therefore, as Balinese leaders who care about the future The future of this island needs to look at this problem further, both among local communities and foreign tourists, regarding the importance of maintaining social, economic and environmental harmony. Let's invite foreign tourists to better understand and respect local culture, and contribute to sustainable development that involves all levels of society.
By working together to solve this problem, we can maintain the beauty of Bali not only as a tourist destination, but also as a home for all of us. Thank You." +

Hello Bahasa bali wiki, do you know what is the meaning of garbage? Do you know how many types of garbage there are? Garbage is the remaining waste from a product or item that is no longer used but can still be recycled into valuable items. Waste can be divided into 2 types, including organic waste and inorganic waste.
Organic waste can be an environmentally friendly type of waste. If properly managed, it can even be a source of something useful. However, due to the rapid decomposition of organic waste, organic waste can cause disease and unpleasant odours if not managed properly. "Hi Baliwiki friends, do you know how many types of organic waste there are? Organic waste is divided into 2, including wet and dry organic waste.
1. Liquid - organic waste
Wet organic waste is defined as organic waste that contains a large amount of water. Examples of wet organic waste are vegetable waste, rotten banana peel, onion peel and the like.
2. Dry - organic waste
Dry organic wastes are organic wastes that contain a small amount of moisture. Examples of dry organic waste include wood, tree limbs, tree trimmings, wood and dry leaves.
Inorganic waste is waste that is no longer in use and is difficult to decompose. Inorganic waste that is buried in the soil can cause soil pollution. This is because inorganic waste is classified as a persistent substance and the waste is buried in the soil for a long time, causing damage to the soil layer.
Examples of inorganic waste are: plastic, beverage bottles/cans, crackling, etc.
"Now, having explained, have you guys understood? I hope you have".
"Do you know what will happens when you mix organic and inorganic waste?
Mixing organic and inorganic waste not only causes odour and unsightliness. This pile of mixed organic and inorganic waste can be a threat to human life. Organic waste produces harmful leachate. This liquid can degrade the quality of the soil and air around the waste. Can separating waste help? But what is the importance of waste separation in Indonesia?
The importance of waste separation". Rubbish? Hello! Horrible! Everyone avoids it. Everyone gets annoyed when there's rubbish around. Right? Try to imagine if your room was full of other people's rubbish. Wouldn't you be angry? Surprisingly, many of us do litter. If you're riding a motorbike, you casually litter; if you're studying in class, you casually throw rubbish on the floor and don't pick it up. The funny thing is, when you come to a place with a lot of rubbish, you sneer and mutter: "WHAT A SLOB"
The importance of waste separation is therefore the facilitation of further waste management. In addition to facilitating further waste management, the sorting of organic and inorganic waste can also reduce air pollution caused by the accumulation of waste that is still mixed between organic and inorganic waste.
I took an example of a waste sorting programme from one of the schools in South Kuta, namely SMA Negeri 3 Kuta Selatan. If there is such a programme, are you sure that all the students will follow and implement the programme correctly? "After a lot of instruction from the teachers to the students in the school, it is not necessarily the students and the students will implement the programme correctly, the students and the students consider the programme as a waste sorting programme.
The school has provided 10 garbage cans with names and pictures, but the sorting of waste is very complicated;
The trash bins provided by the school include:
1. Aluminium litter bin
2. Organic waste bin
3. Pedal bin
4. Plastic waste bin
5. Plastic waste bin
6. Bottle cap bin
7. Clean pet waste bin
8. Residue bin
9. Single layer bin
10. Multi-layer bin
However, the students at the school still have a mixture of organic and inorganic waste in the same place, which is a bit of a mess, isn't it?
The school does not yet have a caretaker to sort the waste. However, the school has been working with the KOMUNITAS PLASTIK EXCANGE KUTA SELATAN and once a month the waste is transported to the school. The school does not know the amount of waste for a month. This is because the school has recently implemented the waste sorting programme.
A good example of another school that I have received is from one of the schools in Malang, namely SMA 2 Malang as Adiwiyata Mandiri School Inspiring with Sustainable Waste Management Programme. The success of SMAN 2 Malang's waste management programme is a real example of how education and action can positively impact the environment. It is hoped that this programme will inspire other schools to adopt sustainable waste management practices and create a greener and more environmentally conscious learning environment.

Om Swastysatu, Om Awighnam Astu Nama Sidham, the Queen who smells so good to all of us. Today I would like to convey that Ogoh-ogoh 2024 announced by the Bali Provincial Government will be held in the series of Nyepi Day 2024. However, Balinese people are still allowed to roam around. Head of the Bali Cultural Service, I Gede Arya Sugiartha, explained that holding the provincial level ogoh-ogoh competition was to maintain security until the 2024 elections. According to him, bad race was the cause of all relations. He showed that horseplay could be played again after years of politics. However, people were still allowed to play ball the following night. Group meetings can only be held within their respective traditional village areas. Then he ordered them not to talk about it on the street. I apologize if there is something wrong with what I said, so I will call it Prama Shanti. Uncle Shanti, Santhi, Shanti Uncle. +

In this beautiful moment, we will deliver our oration with the title of "Ngulah Pati Boya Ja Melananin Diri". Before we deliver our oration, let us offer thanksgiving to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa with Om Swastiastu.
In recent years, the cases of suicide in Indonesia has become increasingly worrying. Indonesia, as a country that adheres to a collectivistic culture, also has a fairly high number of suicide cases. WHO estimates that in 2020 the suicide rate in Indonesia could reach 2.4 percent of 100,000 people if it does not receive serious attention from various parties. Bali Province is one of the provinces in Indonesia that has a fairly high number of suicide cases. Most suicide cases in Bali are committed by teenagers in young adulthood. One of the factors that influences the emergence of behavior, including suicidal behavior and suicide attempts, is self-concept. Self-concept is an individual's perception of himself, his perception of his social environment, and his perception of other people's views of him. Apart from that, the environment where you live also has a big influence on a person's mental health. If someone is in a positive environment, of course their mental health will be better maintained. However, if someone is in a bad environment, it can have a negative impact on that person's mental health. One of them is that it can cause suicidal thoughts. Therefore, suicide cases really need attention from the public so that they understand and are more open about mental health for teenagers.
But unfortunately, suicide cases are often underestimated by most of society. People think that mental health is not important to pay attention to. In fact, someone who has mental health problems really needs the attention of the people around them to continue to receive encouragement and attention. With all the existing problems, attention and encouragement are needed from the community and government in dealing with suicide cases in Bali.
In an effort to overcome these cases, the government can optimize mental health screening by providing outreach to the public to create awareness of the importance of mental health for humans, especially teenagers. Apart from that, society and the government can also build an anti-suicide community for teenagers to minimize the existing death rate and teenagers can also express the feelings they have. By adopting this solution, it is hoped that society and the government will become more aware of the importance of mental health. In this way, it is hoped that society can build a positive environment so that the death rate caused by suicide cases will decrease. Let's care about the importance of mental health!
That's the speech we can deliver. If there are something wrong in words or writing, please forgive us. We close with Paramasantih. Om Santih, Santih, Santih, Om.
