Last weekend, hundreds of residents of Nusamara customary village were alarmed because the only pathway to local Dalem Temple was disconnected. At that time, a series of ngenteg linggih procession was going on in the Dalem Temple. One of the bridge’s wings leading to the temple located amidst the gully was breached by floods. Due to the initiative and mutual cooperation of local residents, the road access leading to Dalem Temple was ultimately passable. The day after the collapse, residents worked together to make temporary connection for the bridge. Deputy Governor Puspayoga making his time to come on the culmination of ngenteg linggih ritual in the Dalem Temple of Nusamara customary village on Wednesday (Oct 23) also saw the endeavor made by the forest side community. Deputy Governor Puspayoga accompanied by the Regent of Jembrana I Putu Artha and Chairman of the Jembrana House Ketut Sugiasa after attending the ritual was willing to have a promenade while having a look at the bridge. The road along 1 kilometer from the village road to the temple was formerly a footpath. However, there was no settlement around there other than the three temples venerated by Nusamara customary village. By degrees, the village showed a progress where residents paved the road leading to the temple and bridge with concrete. Hamlet Chief of Nusamara, Nyoman Widastra, said that a day after the bridge collapsed, the community worked together to re-connect the bridge wing by wood. “As it is very urgent and coinciding with the ritual in the Dalem Temple, the community did mutual assistance to re-connect the bridge. As a result, it is now passable by cars and four-wheeled trucks,” he explained.When visiting the bridge, the Regent Artha appreciated the efforts of local communities to work together in re-connecting the bridge. He also appealed to public to be vigilant because the recent weather was often hostile and some areas prone to landslides, including along the road to Dalem Temple. Likewise, the residents were also required to maintain the existing infrastructures. (kmb26)
Denpasar – Environment activist joined in Environment Advocacy Committee (Kekal) continue to reject the permit to rent the mangrove forest to investor. On Tuesday, October 23, they rallied for the third time to reject it. the permit is not suitable with the good governance where it promotes the open and punlic participation. Even tough the permit has been published but it is still not suitable with the rules. “The current area of forest in Bali is 22%. It is far less than the demand of the rule which is 30% so it is good to issue such permit?” Gendo asked. He added that if a governor has a clean and green program, he must stick with it and make the forest forbidden for the development of tourism accommodation. It is enough to create the forest as tourism destination. Suriadi, the Deputy Director of Walhi Bali, questioned the statement of Bali Governor about the publishing of the permit already went through various process that takes two years. While

Deputy Governor Puspayoga visits collapsed bridge at Nusamara
This time the rally was done in front of Governor Office in Renon. Wayan Gendo Suardana, the spokesman of Kekal, said that the policy of the government is against the moratorium letter regarding tourism accommodation issued by the government. In addition to urge the permit to be revoked, Gendo also challenge the governor to carry out open debate on the mangrove forest. He also allowed the governor to audit the member of Bali Environment watch (Walhi). “The governor can audit us, whether it us message, account, and conversation but after that the governor must allow us to audit him as well,” he said. Gendo explained that the permit to rent the forest is on the opposite of rule number 28 in 2009 about good governance. Not coordinating with Bali House in issuing

the actual paper works show that it only takes 14 months for him to issue the permit for PT TRB. “Even, the governor already give principal permit to PT TRB to manage the forest three months after the company file in the proposal,” he added. Kekal Bali also doesn’t believe that there will be no mangrove trees that will be cut down because the governor already gave permit to do that. In the permit issued by the governor stated “in developing tourism accommodation based on the permitted site, the company cannot cut down trees planted by the Forestry Department.” “Then, who can guarantee that there will be no permit to cut down trees. We often found inconsistency because the permit can be issued by the forestry department,’ said Suriadi.. (kmb)
