‘Magnificent Seven’ Hits Bullseye With $35 Million Debut

LOS ANGELES - Denzel Washington hit the bullseye again. “The Magnificent Seven,” the Oscarwinner’s first western, topped the box office, picking up a solid $35 million. Hollywood’s star system has shriveled in the past decade, with few new talents emerging to reanimate the ranks and stand alongside Leo and Julia and Johnny and George and Brad. Some of their stars have dimmed, but Washington’s still shines brightly. He hasn’t had a film open to less than $20 million since 2007’s “The Great Debaters.” He’ll be back on screens at the end of the year in “Fences,” an adaptation of August Wilson’s play, that he directs and stars in alongside Viola Davis. It is expected to be an Oscar contender.

“The Magnificent Seven” easily snagged the crown from “Sully,” the retelling of the “Miracle on the Hudson” landing that topped the box office for two weeks. The drama slid to third place with $13.8 million, bringing its stateside total to a healthy $92.4 million. “Storks,” an animated comedy from Warner Bros., came in second with $21.8 million. It’s a disappointing result given that the picture had been tracking to open to $30 million or higher. The film centers on a group of storks who have transitioned from baby delivering to hauling packed for an e-commerce behemoth. Andy Samberg, Kelsey Grammer, Jennifer Aniston, Keegan-Michael Key, and Jordan Peele are among the recognizable voices providing some of

the film’s aural texture. The film cost $70 million to produce and is part of Warner Bros. effort to reinvigorate its animation division after the studio scored a hit with 2014’s “The Lego Movie.” It had more or less abandoned the genre to the likes of Disney and DreamWorks Animation, before undergoing a course correction. “The Magnificent Seven’s” success is welcome news for Metro-GoldwynMayer, which was body checked this summer after “Ben-Hur,” its $100 million-plus Biblical epic, collapsed at the box office, resulting in at least $70 million in losses for the studio and its production co-financiers. Earlier this month, MGM reduced its annual profit projections by roughly $50 million because of “Ben-Hur’s” failure. (rtr)

Traditional nativity “Caganer” figurines depicting U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump are seen at a factory in Torroella de Montgri, northern Spain, September 26, 2016. The figurines depicted in the act of defecation are a tradition mostly in Spain’s Catalonia region and are used in nativity scenes depicting the city of Bethlehem.

With Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump virtually tied in recent national polls, they enter the debate as the two least popular presidential candidates in modern history. Monday’s debate, which will be moderated by NBC’s Lester Holt, will see the two candidates speak on America’s direction, achieving prosperity and the country’s security. These will be covered across six 15-minute segments before an audience at New York’s Hofstra University. It has the potential to be a bloody battle, with a Superbowl audience of more than 100 million people forecast. In the blue corner, a career politician, an experienced debater, trying to stem an apparent surge in popularity for her rival. Clinton and Trump slug it out In the red corner, a reality TV star, who successfully disposed of his opponents by giving them nicknames on stage, now needs to prove he has the temperament to be commander-in-chief. Mrs Clinton has been doing her homework studying her rival and practising going into battle with him. In the role of Mr Trump has been Phillip Reines, who served as deputy assistant secretary of state under Mrs Clinton and is known in Washington circles for his bullish, combative personality. Jim Manley, a Democratic strategist and former Senate aide, told Sky News that Mrs Clinton “needs to be aggressive”. “She can’t just let Trump be Trump,” he said. “People want to see her looking strong and challenging him.” Fact-checking any false claims, he says, is essential, but she must also present a positive vision for America. The stakes are high for both candidates, but Mrs Clinton arguably has more to lose. After her recent diagnosis of pneumonia, her appearance will also be scrutinized and Richard

Nixon’s sweaty, unshaven look in the first ever televised debate, is a potent reminder that how you look, matters. Mr Trump, appears to be looking for a fight before he’s even stepped in the ring, taunting his opponent by threatening to bring Gennifer Flowers along, with whom Bill Clinton admitted to having a sexual relationship decades ago. At a time when he needs to present a presidential image, it is a risky move - potentially alienating women voters. The billionaire businessman, who has consistently railed against convention, has been taking a more relaxed, on the-fly approach to his first ever debate. But the Republican nominee has, we’re told, been watching Mrs Clinton’s “best and worst” TV moments. His TV background and ability to deliver pithy one-liners with populist appeal, could serve him well. Bret Baier, who was a moderator in the Republican primary debates, tells me Mr Trump is “better at the soundbites”. Political commentators have been filling the airwaves with talk of Mr Trump’s bar being low and expectations few. His own surrogates are also playing down his chances. His biggest challenge will be staying on message. If he can do that, it may well be viewed as a victory. In a race dominate by personality, this is a chance to debate policies. By the end, we will find out if details make a difference. (rtr) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.

Forest and coastal areas may not be conceded to investors NEGARA - Forest and coastal areas must become a priority of agrarian reform and be released by the state for people’s welfare and not conceded to investors. In

the region, there are inherent traditional rights and culture. A number of land disputes and agrarian conflicts have claimed the victims of the customary community, farmers, workers and fishermen from various districts / cities and provinces. The main factors causing these problems

are decisions of central and local government officials, centralization of power, the use of natural resources by enterprises for expansion, production, conservation, and infrastructure development. This phenomenon inspired the idea to establish specialized institution in the effort to resolve the

agrarian conflicts. This was revealed in the discussion entitled “Agrarian reform to save forests and coastal areas of Bali” last week in Negara. Continued on page 2 Forest...

COVER STORY Forest... From page 1

Made Indrawati, Chairperson of the KPA Bali, recorded a number of agrarian conflicts in Bali in all sectors and led to uncertainty of people’s right to land. Some cases emerged as in the New Order period like at Sumber Klampok, Pejarakan, Sendang Pasir, Serangan, Selasih or Pecatu and there is no settlement until now. Within the past 25 years, the rights to land of many farmers are threatened or claimed as the assets of provincial or district or municipal government. This evidences that agrarian reform has not yet become a priority of the provincial, district or municipal government. “Now, condition of the land rights of farmers has progressively declined. Supposedly if their number increasingly decreases, the rights over the land must increase, not on the contrary. Seeing this condition, farmers are not worth to be burdened with the responsibility for food security. This should be borne to the state-owned enterprises and private agricultural companies,” said Indrawati. Ngurah Karyadi from the Association of Indonesian Farmers Movement (P3I) said that the idea of establishing this special agency is still in the

process of consolidation by the presidential chief of staff. Hopefully, it will yield specific policies and be subordinated directly by the president. The institute aims to resolve the problem comprehensively and accelerate the implementation of national priority programs related to agrarian conflict settlement within the framework of agrarian reform. “By performing identification, data collection and analysis, we can make recommendations for settlement of the conflict before performing execution. It is meant to follow up the arrangement of agricultural production and the improvement of environmental services,” said Karyadi. Dulkadi and all members of the Bali Farmers Union (SPB) said that related to the land ownership of nine million hectares for food security program in the Law of Land Affairs are stated that forest will become a priority concern. “But until September 2016, the regulations are not realized and even the presidential regulation has not been issued. Do people have to come down and take action by surrounding the presidential palace?” asked Dulkadi. “Forests and coastal areas should get priority in the agrarian reform and be released by the state for the welfare of people and not conceded to investors,” said Indrawati.

So far, most visitors usually come to perform purificatory rite (melukat) at this location. The development of tourist attraction newly pioneered by the tourism awareness group of Selanbawak village with some 120 volunteers remains to face funding obstacle. As a result, the bathing place and surrounding environment still look modest.

The very special annual celebration of World Rhino Day at the Bali Safari & Marine Park was made all that more special on Thursday, September 22, 2016, through the participation of a group of extraordinary boys and girls from the Extraordinary School in Nusa Dua, Bali (Sekolah Luar Biasa Nusa Dua). Another “special child” attending this year’s celebration at the 40-hectare nature park was “Pembe” – an African White Rhino born at the Bali Safari and Marine Park in November 2015. While the children from SLB Nusa Dua are afflicted with various disabilities, including deafness or muteness, this in no way detracted from the absolute joy and excitement generated for both the children and their hosts during the day-long visit to the Park. Climbing aboard air-conditioned and secure vehicles, the group of children joined the Safari Journey for a sojourn through three separate “open” habitats that are home to the animals of Africa, Indonesia and India. The memorable day continued as the kids attended a number of educational attractions - including those star-

Moreover, the tourist attraction at the village is expected to further develop into a tourism village coupled with the development of trekking path at Subak Guama. “Indeed it still takes a long process, but we wish the Selanbawak village could be developed into a tourism village. Moreover, it has the potential of water attraction. I think there has been no village in Tabanan developing such water attraction,” he explained. (kmb24)

William Santoso, General Manager of the Bali Safari & Marine Park, commenting on the visit by SLB Nusa Dua on World Rhino Day said: “Like the other days at the Park dedicated to the world’s wildlife, World Rhino Day does not pale in its importance. This day reminds all of us of the critical role played by the public in protecting and conserving this rare and endangered animal. This year’s celebration was super-charged through the participation of the children from SLB Nusa Dua. The children from this school represent a small group within Balinese society who are sometimes overlooked. We hope the Park’s small contribution of inviting these children for a day of education and fun supplements the hard work and dedication of their teachers to create young adults of outstanding quality, ready to protect and preserve the environment.” The Bali Safari & Marine Park

The loving couple became proud parents after the rare birth in captivity of their daughter, “Pembe” in November 2015. There are only 5 remaining species of rhinoceros in existence, 2 of which are found in Indonesia: the Javan Rhino (Rhinoceros sondaicus) and Sumatran Rhino (Dicherorinus sumatrensis). Both of these species are listed as critically endangered species of the “Red List” of The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). The remaining population of Javan Rhino living in the wild is estimated at 50 animals at the Ujung Kulon National Park in Banten, West Java. Because of their very limited number and limited range, the Javan Rhino is considered to be at particular risk extinction to illness and natural disaster. Meanwhile, the Sumatran Rhino wild population is put at only 200 animals, living at the Gunung Leuser National Park (Aceh), South Bukit Barisan (Lampung) and Way Kambas (Lampung).

California eyes unusual power source: its gridlocked roads

Chinatopix via AP

An aerial view shows the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) in the remote Pingtang county in southwest China’s Guizhou province, Sunday, Sept. 25, 2016. The world’s largest radio telescope began searching for signals from stars and galaxies and, perhaps, extraterrestrial life Sunday in a project demonstrating China’s rising ambitions in space and its pursuit of international scientific prestige.

China begins operating world’s largest radio telescope

BEIJING — The world’s largest radio telescope began searching for signals from stars and galaxies and, perhaps, extraterrestrial life Sunday in a project demonstrating China’s rising ambitions in space and its pursuit of international scientific prestige. Beijing has poured billions into such ambitious scientific projects as well as its military-backed space program, which saw the launch of China’s second space station earlier this month. Measuring 500 meters in diameter, the radio telescope is nestled in a natural basin within a stunning landscape of lush green karst formations in southern Guizhou province. It took five years and $180 million to complete and surpasses that of the 300-meter Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, a dish used in research on stars that led to a Nobel Prize. The official Xinhua News Agency said hundreds of astronomers and enthusiasts watched the launch of the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, or FAST, in the county of Pingtang. Researchers quoted by state media said FAST would search for

gravitational waves, detect radio emissions from stars and galaxies and listen for signs of intelligent extraterrestrial life. “The ultimate goal of FAST is to discover the laws of the development of the universe,” Qian Lei, an associate researcher with the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told state broadcaster CCTV. “In theory, if there is civilization in outer space, the radio signal it sends will be similar to the signal we can receive when a pulsar (spinning neutron star) is approaching us,” Qian said. Installation of the 4,450-panel structure, nicknamed Tianyan, or the Eye of Heaven, started in 2011 and was completed in July. The telescope requires a radio silence within a 5-kilometer (3-mile) radius, resulting in the relocation of

more than 8,000 people from their homes in eight villages to make way for the facility, state media said. Reports in August said the villagers would be compensated with cash or new homes from a budget of about $269 million from a poverty relief fund and bank loans. CCTV reported that during a recent test, the telescope received radio signals from a pulsar that was 1,351 light-years from Earth. The radio telescope has double the sensitivity of the Arecibo Observatory, and five to 10 times the surveying speed, Xinhua said. China has also completed the construction of tourist facilities such as an observation deck on a nearby mountain, reports said. Such facilities can be a draw for visitors — the one in Puerto Rico draws about 90,000 visitors and some 200 scientists each year. (ap)

LOS ANGELES — All those cars on California’s famously gridlocked highways could be doing more than just using energy - they could be producing it. The California Energy Commission is investing $2 million to study whether piezoelectric crystals can be used to produce electricity from the mechanical energy created by vehicles driving on roads. The commission is in the process of choosing a company or university to take on small-scale field tests. It will study how the small crystals, which generate energy when compressed, could produce electricity for the grid if installed under asphalt. Scientists already know the technology works, but the state needs to figure out whether it can produce high returns without costing too much. Similar projects in other parts of the world have been discontinued. “It’s not hard to see the opportunity in California,” said Mike Gravely, the commission’s deputy division chief of energy research and development. “It’s an energy that’s created but is just currently lost in vibration.” Scientists say it’s a matter of shifting perceptions. “No longer is driving just the act of using energy. Maybe it’s also part of the process of generating it,” said Paul Bunje, a scientist at a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that funds technological developments and the former founding director of UCLA’s Center for Climate Change Solutions. The hope is that the use of clean energy produced by roads will help the state reach its goal of producing 50 percent of California’s electricity with renewables by 2030, Gravely said. The state is on target to reach 25 percent by the end of the year, according to the energy commission. Whether the technology can withstand the wear and tear of traffic is something that concerns Joe Mahoney, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle. “One would need to consider which would last longer: the pavement or the devices,” he said, adding highways need to be resurfaced every 10 to 30 years. There is also uncertainty about whether the technology will be competitive enough with other renewables to merit full-scale investment. California’s funding to study the technology follows a series of projects in Tokyo, Italy and Israel that appear to have failed or been dropped. Most notably, an Israeli company whose pilot test attracted global attention in 2009 is now in the process of liquidation, and the project was unsuccessful, according to the Israeli roads authority.

Having some potentials

Mandala Wisata open stage abandoned

GIANYAR - Mandala Wisata open stage at Bedulu village, Blahbatuh is one of the assets owned by local government of Gianyar that became a favorite in the 1970s. However, currently condition of the object has started dormant. Actually the object has a number of potentials, such as the intact giant carving work of maestro I Gusti Nyoman Lempad. As seen on Friday (Sep. 23), the Mandala Wisata open stage indeed looked abandoned, where the building of outdoor stage is not well maintained and the surrounding area is overgrown with weeds. Stage building looked porous because it has never been renovated since its establishment. This open stage was established in the 1970s during the administration of President Soeharto. It was developed because he considered the location had a potential for tourist visits. One of them is locating adjacent to the Samuan Tiga Temple, having many archaeological heritages. “In the past, this was initiated by President Soeharto because he saw the potential,” said headman of Bedulu, Ketut Rinata. During its development, the open stage is very popular among travelers to watch Kecak Dance performance, Legong Dance and a number of other attractions at the time. However, on entering the 1990s, this place started to fade. “Well, this stage started to fade around the 1980s to the 1990s. Probably it happens due to competition where many performance stages began to be built at a number of tourist attractions in Bali,” he explained. Other than outdoor stage, the location also has indoor stage, display room and exhibition space. The main attraction is the display of the work by maestro I Gusti Nyoman Lempad, in the form of Balinese brick carving measuring approximately 20 meters x 4 meters. “Until now, we still maintain the work of Lempad, and its condition is still intact and very beautiful,” he explained. Rinata added that local government through the Gianyar Tourism Office has actually attempted to revive the Mandala Wisata open stage at Bedulu village. One of them is by making the area into traditional house museum, but until now the plan has not been realized. “Some time ago, the headman along with hamlet chief including myself already signed an approval if this location will be used as a museum of traditional house. Maybe the process is still being submitted to central government,” he said. (kmb35)

Sea toll to drive economy

It needs harbor and warehouse infrastructure DENPASAR - Sea toll road initiated by the government of Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla is actually a very good program. In this regard, the sea is used as the basis of production and marketing connectivity between the regions or islands in Indonesia and the regions. Realization of the sea toll is expected to lower logistics costs and maintain price stability of goods and commodities between the regions. “However, the sea toll road indeed requires infrastructure, such as harbor and warehouses. So, to make it happen we should prepare together a substantial fund,” said a member of Commission II of the Bali House of Representatives, A.A. Ngurah Adhi Ardhana, when confirmed on Friday (Sep. 23). Adhi Ardhana added that state-

owned company dealing with harbor terminal operation services in this regard the Pelindo has the challenges of building the sea toll infrastructure. The main challenge is related to land preparation. So far, of the four units owned by PT Pelindo in Indonesia, the PT Pelindo III is the first declared its readiness to realize the sea toll. One of the harbors managed by PT Pelindo III is located in Bali. “We support in connection with it. In Bali, the challenge lies in the preparation of the land, fishery warehouse, fish processing and so forth. At the Benoa Harbor in particular with a narrow location needs to be expanded,” he said. When talking about expansion, added Adhi Ardhana, it will have something to do with reclamation. So far, reclamation matters in Bali

remain to draw the pros and cons. But for this PDI-P politician, reclamation for public interest is actually not a problem. However, there should be no commercial element and too high capital so that it will only benefit the employers. “In my mind, as long as it is for public interest, it is not a problem. It is different from commercial purposes, let alone be carried out by private sector,” he said. In the meantime, a member of Commission II, I Gede Kusuma Putra, even thought that Pelindo III should further optimize the Celukan Bawang Harbor for the benefit of sea toll. Conversely, the Benoa Harbor should be maximized for tourism, namely becoming the harbor of yachts and so on. “For larger harbor, it should take advantage of the Celukan Bawang.

As located in north Bali, it is near to Surabaya or NTB and NTT. On the contrary, the harbor in south Bali will slightly troublesome due to big waves and so on,” he said. However, continued Kusuma Putra, the optimization of Celukan Bawang Harbor should also be balanced with adequate road infrastructure. Primarily it is required to distribute goods from north Bali to the next distribution destination after the goods arrive at the harbor. “I do not blame if people are a little complicated when picking up goods in Buleleng. Distribution flow is complicated. When passing Bedugul, it must be transported by small vehicles so the cost will be more expensive. At least, it must be transported by container truck, so that we need a shortcut or toll

road,” he said. Kusuma Putra added that when the cost becomes more expensive due to infrastructure issue on the mainland like the road it will be inconsistent with the objective of the sea toll. In this case, it is meant to minimize the prices of goods, food and clothing and settlement. Besides, it is meant to keep the delivery of goods to run regularly or continuously. If the sea transportation with sea toll is effective, the economy will work. The prices can be suppressed because all this time the prices are very expensive in some areas. In Papua, the price of cement can reach several hundred thousand and so can the price of rice and oil. However, the central Bali must be supported with adequate road,” he affirmed. (kmb32)

Seaweed, Main Livelihood of Karangsari Residents, Nusa Penida

Karangsari is one of the customary villages located in the area of Suana village, Nusa Penida, Klungkung. Its population amounts to approximately 1,388 people (696 men and 692 women) with 425 households. Most residents have livelihood as fishermen and seaweed farmers. Approximately 85 percent of the population depends on the sea as seaweed farmers and fishermen. The other residents are farmers, and a small part of them are civil servants, entrepreneurs and laborer.

Nevertheless, the level of education of village residents is quite high. Based on the data (village monograph 2015), the level of education from the lowest to the highest is as follows: 145 people of elementary school (12.23 percent), 158 people of junior high school and high school (15.38 percent) and 181 people of college or higher education (21.39 percent). “Since the land located at Karangsari is less fertile, people chose the livelihood as fishermen. Though they are farming, the results attained are not so good because it is located close to the mountain where monkeys usually come down and savor their crops,” explained the chief of Karangsari customary village, I Nyoman Yoga, some time ago. Karangsari has three hamlets namely the Pupuan, Karangsari and Pidada. This village hosts the kahyangan jagat temple named the Goa Giri Putri having become an iconic spiritual tourism. Since having been managed by Karangsari since 2015, the worship by local pilgrims from Bali or outside Bali continues to rise. (kmb)

Trained entrepreneurship, Muntigunung and Pedahan residents promise to stop begging

AMLAPURA - The government of Karangasem has initiated serious measure to resolve the begging problem. Chronic issue of Muntigunung and Pedahan village in Kubu subdistrict starts to get the way out. They are willing to leave begging habit and practice to become entrepreneur. A total of one hundred family heads of beggar are willing to attend technical guidance skill training for beggars such as making ritual paraphernalia, incense and weaving palm leaves. Having successfully mastered the skills, they got the opportunity to have an audience with the regent of Karangasem centered directly at the Ujung Water Palace, Saturday (Sep. 24). “All this time, they know a lot about Kuta because they often beg there, but we have the Ujung Water

Palace but they admit not to know. That’s why the regent asked to directly invite them to come here,” said the Head of the Karangasem Social Services, Made Sosiawan. They got technical guidance for few weeks through the Bakti Laksana Foundation. Chief of the foundation, Ketut Nerima, said that it is quite difficult to persuade them to stop begging and attend this entrepreneurship training. However, of the 138 family heads recorded to still beg, a hundred of which are willing to join the training. Due to the training, the beggars have mastered the expertise to make incense, woven palm leaves and various needs for Hindu ritual paraphernalia. However, so far they still produce manually. In the future, through the attention of local government, he hoped to modernize the production process.

In addition, he also appealed to the assistance to local government to broaden the marketing of their products. Thus, the beggar will increasingly confident and decide to take entrepreneurship. This technical guidance directly brought in an instructor, Made Dwija. After getting this technical guidance, the beggars are expected to be independent and run their own business. Moreover, central government has responded to this program and will provide venture capital as much as IDR 5 million for each beggar. When a number of beggars were asked about their comment on this program, they are very enthusiastic. On average those consisting of elderly housewives are willing to switch ‘profession.’ One of the beggars, Jero Subur, claimed no to be begging to Denpasar and Badung.

This woman from Muntigunung having been begging for more than 10 years promised to pursue this business. A number of other beggars are even crying after being given the understanding that begging is not good for the future and results in a great sin if it is bequeathed to their children. Deputy Regent of Karangasem, I Wayan Artha Dipa, said that the label of Muntigunung and Pedahan community as the home village of beggars should be changed. It can be carried out by cutting the regeneration of begging starting from today. He positively responded to this technical guidance, and asked other people that have not been willing to participate to immediately join the next entrepreneurship training. Moreover, to really accomplish the label of begging up by the

roots, Artha Dipa encouraged the Muntigunung customary village to arrange them in a perarem or customary bylaw. Regent of Karangasem, I Gusti Ayu Mas Sumatri, confirmed that the program to invite the beggars to join the entrepreneurship training has not completed.

China probes North Korea bank suspected of nuclear link - South Korea paper

SEOUL - China is investigating executives of a North Korean bank believed to finance the illicit procurement of arms and materials related to the isolated country’s banned nuclear programme, South Korea’s JoongAng Daily reported on Monday. China and the United States have agreed to step up cooperation in the U.N. Security Council and in law enforcement channels after North Korea’s fifth nuclear test on Sept. 9, the White House said last week. While China is North Korea’s sole major ally, it disapproves of its nuclear and missile programmes. The Chinese-U.S. cooperation includes targeting the finances of Liaoning Hongxiang Industrial, a Chinese conglomerate headed by a Communist Party cadre, that the Obama administration thinks has had a role in helping North Korea’s nuclear programme, the Wall Street Journal reported at the time. The JoongAng Daily said Chinese authorities were investigating a top official of the Kwangson Banking Corporation at its branch in the Chinese border city of Dandong. The U.S. Treasury designated the bank in 2009 under an order that targets entities supporting North Korea’s arms trafficking because of its suspected involvement in procuring “dual-use” technology with both civilian and military ap-

plication. “The head of the branch, Ri Il Ho, temporarily returned to North Korea, so the deputy executive is being investigated,” a source told the JoongAng Daily. The paper did not identify its source, who it said was “wellinformed on North Korea affairs”. In March, after the latest round of U.N. sanctions, the United Nations extended an asset freeze to all funds held abroad by the bank. The bank branch in Dandong then moved to an office in a building also used by Hongxiang and continued to operate, though without a sign, the JoongAng Daily said. Asked about the report of the Kwangson probe, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said he did “not understand” the situation. But China has fully followed United Nations resolutions on North Korea, which put wide-ranging sanctions on the country, and fulfils its international obligations when it comes to non-proliferation export controls, Geng added. A report by the Asan Institute for Policy Studies in Seoul and the C4ADS think-tank in Washington last week identified more than $500 million in trade from January 2011 to September 2015 between the North and the Liaoning Hongxiang Group, which states on its website that it trades heavily with the North.

under the auspices of the Kamadhuk civil servant cooperative (KPN), he wished not to encounter any obstacles in carrying out his duties. The distance covered is unsparing such as to Jakarta, Banten, Flores, and Manggarai. He never underestimates his work because he recognized to become rich in experience because of knowing the areas up to the nooks and crannies of villages. Similarly, this man from Payangan, Gianyar, does

not get angry when none of the patient’s family accompany on the way home in the corpse ambulance. During his time as an ambulance driver, one thing he always remembers is when meeting with poor families. “We always remember the family’s condition. Sometimes they must fight all out to the hospital, but it ends up like this (death),” he said wistfully. He is very much touched when the family left behind is from poor

family. He often delivers the corpse of poor families, so that he has a myriad of stories making one’s heart sad. Once upon a time, he drove the corpse of a husband to Munti, Karangasem. “The husband only lived with his wife. They do not have any children or other relatives at their home. When I drove the corpse to his home, no one was at home. Besides, the housewife is old enough and her husband died. I bought rice for the mother,” he recalled. Seeing this phe-

nomenon, he learned to praise. “The people can stay alive and grateful, why we cannot?” asked this father of three children.(kmb) To go working, Karyana must cover a considerable distance from Gianyar to Denpasar. He is not willing to leave his father alone at home because he is sickly, while his mother already died. He then decided to take his small family to stay at his parents’ home while caring for her father. (kmb42)

Germany to Britain: Live up to promise not to block EU reforms

BERLIN - German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen said she does not expect Britain to block a Franco-German initiative to deepen military cooperation among the 27 remaining European Union members after Britain’s vote to leave the bloc.

Touched when delivering corpse of poor families DENPASAR - Aside from experiencing fear, a corpse ambulance driver also feels sorry to the family left when dropping off the corpse. “Fear is human.

Berlin and Paris have proposed reviving EU common defence plans long blocked by Britain, partly to give the bloc a sense of purpose after Britons voted to quit the EU and also to counter the loss of the union’s biggest defence spender. British Defence Secretary Michael Fallon told The Times newspaper this month that London would resist any attempts to duplicate infrastructure that already existed in NATO. However, von der Leyen told

Reuters in an interview that she expected Britain to “make good its promise that it will not hinder important European Union reforms.” She said she had called Fallon before the initiative was unveiled to tell him that it was not directed against Britain. “I told him the initiative is designed for a strong Europe, and that this Europe also wants to have good relations with Britain in the future, especially in the area of defence.” Von der Leyen and the other EU

defence ministers will discuss the proposals in Bratislava on Monday evening and Tuesday. She said all members were welcome to participate in the initiative, but it was not mandatory. The proposals include a joint and permanent EU headquarters for civilian and military missions, possibly in Brussels, which London says will drain away finite resources when NATO already has its military command centre, also in Belgium. Negotiations on Britain leaving the EU could last up to two years once London triggers divorce proceedings, which British officials have suggested could happen early next year. (rtr)

Wall Street looked set to open lower, according to index futures , before the first of three debates, which was due to begin at 0100 GMT/2100 ET. Half of America’s likely voters will rely on the presidential debates to help them make their choice between Republican Trump and Democrat Clinton in the Nov. 8 election, according to a Reuters/ Ipsos poll released on Monday. “A good performance from Mr. Trump could see market volatility increase, particularly if investors think there is a possibility that he could actually win,” wrote Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets in London. European stocks fell, dragged down by a pullback in the shares of major banking and energy companies. Deutsche Bank shares hit a

record low. The pan-European STOXX 600 index fell 1.4 percent and remains down by around 7 percent since the start of 2016. “We feel that with central bank meetings behind us, the focus will now be more on political risks and so have been spending more time trying to understand the potential implications for a Trump victory,” said Mark Dowding, co-head of investment grade debt at BlueBay Asset Management. He said that while a Trump victory could be seen internationally as bad for global assets, U.S. domestic investors were more sanguine. Turkish stocks, bonds and the lira sold off on Monday after Moody’s slashed its credit rating to junk, against a backdrop of broader

emerging markets weakness. Announcing the downgrade late on Friday, Moody’s cited worries about the rule of law after a failed putsch, as well as risks from a slowing economy, in a move which could push up Turkey’s cost of borrowing. Oil prices rebounded after Algeria’s energy minister said on Sunday that all options were possible for an output cut or freeze at this week’s informal meeting of OPEC producers. Brent crude was up 56 cents to $46.45 by 1138 GMT. MSCI’s broadest index of AsiaPacific shares outside Japan extended early losses and was down 0.89 percent, while Japan’s Nikkei stock index .N225 ended down 1.3 percent. Wall Street logged weekly gains but ended with solid losses on Friday. Still, the S&P 500 managed to record its best weekly performance in more than two months after the U.S. Federal Reserve held interest rates steady on Wednesday. (rtr)

JAKARTA - Indonesia and the Arab League have signed a joint decision to enhance concrete cooperation under the Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) they signed on the sidelines of the 71st UN General Assembly in New York. Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno LP Marsudi and Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit, the Indonesian Foreign Ministry said in a press statement released on Sunday. The MoC covers several areas of cooperation such as peace and security, economy, sciences, knowledge and culture. With the signing of the MoC, In-

donesia now has access to 22 Arab League member states and that cooperation with the Arab League member states can be expanded in the future. The signing of the MoC is a significant achievement in the relations between Indonesia and the Arab League and will encourage the partnership to become more transparent and concrete. Both sides also have committed themselves to always maintain the continuation of their cooperation. The Arab League is one of the worlds eldest organizations. It plays an important role for the Indonesian nation. (ant)

Goldman axing nearly 30 pct of Asia investment banking jobs - sources LONDON - Goldman Sachs is cutting almost 30 percent of its 300 investment banking jobs in Asia outside Japan in response to a slowdown in activity in the region, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. The Wall Street bank is reducing the number of bankers working on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and equity and debt capital markets deals, the sources said. It will be left with slightly more than 200 bankers across Asia. Most of the jobs cuts are likely to take place in Hong Kong, Singapore and China, where Goldman’s main Asian offices are located, according to the sources, who said the process was underway. A Goldman Sachs spokesman declined to comment. The company, whose investment banking revenue fell 11 percent to $1.79 billion in the second quarter, has been hit by a lacklustre environ-

ment for deals across Asia. The total value of M&A deals across the Asia-Pacific region has dropped to $572.9 billion so far this year, from $745.7 billion in the same period of 2015, according to Thomson Reuters data. Goldman said in July it had embarked on a cost-cutting plan that would save $700 million a year in response to a “challenging backdrop” for revenue. It still tops the Asia-Pacific M&A league tables but in the first half of the year it came third after JPMorgan and Citi as the biggest bank by revenue in Asia, according to data published on Friday by industry analytics firm Coalition. One of the sources said no managing directors in Asia were in the running to be made partners this year while three existing partners in the region had been stripped of their titles. (rtr)

In Indonesia, disabled drivers join ride-hailing service boom

YOGYAKARTA - Polio did not stop Triyono from cashing in on Indonesia’s booming ride-hailing business last year, when he launched a motorcycle taxi service run exclusively by disabled drivers. With a crew of 20 drivers and modified three-wheeled motorbikes, Triyono, 35, is filling a gap in a public transport service that s not particularly disabled-friendly in the world’s fourth-most populous country. “It started as a social activity with the hope of assisting disabled people. Then we gave them motorbikes to support their mobility and make sure their business runs smoothly,” he said, adding that all drivers are certified with a handicapped drivers licence. While he service is aimed at providing rides for other disabled people, anyone can use the service.

He planning to expand and launch a mobile phone app in November, joining the stiff competition between the popular app-based transport services provided by home-grown company Gojek and Singapore-based Grab. Triyono said he hoped to help more disabled people find employment in his hometown of Yogyakarta, a tourist destination and base for visiting nearby Borobudur, the world’s largest Buddhist temple. According to government data, about 11 percent of Indonesia’s population of 250 million are living with disabilities and many of them are poor. For former fruit seller Aris

Wahyudi driving a “difajek” - a combination of the Indonesian words for “disabled” and “motorcycle taxi” - often meant more than doubling his income, which used to be less than $3 a day. “Now I can bring in a minimum of 50,000 rupiah ($3.80) home every day, and on average around 100,000 rupiah ($7.60) a day. So there’s an increment,” said Wahyudi, who has a disabled arm and leg. For many customers, the fact the service employs people with disabilities is a key selling point. “I choose disabled motorbike taxi service because it makes me feel comfortable. The driver is disabled, and I am disabled too. We can trust each other,” said Yuli Siswanto, who lost a leg in a motorcycle accident several years ago. (rtr)

Colombia to sign peace with Marxist rebels, ending 52-year war

CARTAGENA - Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and Marxist rebel leader Timochenko will sign a deal on Monday ending a half-century war that killed a quarter of a million people, stymied the economy and made Colombia a byword for violence. After four years of negotiations in Havana, Santos, 65, and Timochenko, a nom de guerre for the 57-year-old revolutionary, will shake hands for the first time on Colombian soil in front of world leaders. Their deal to end Latin America’s longest-running conflict will turn the FARC guerrilla group into a political party fighting at the ballot box instead of the battlefield it has occupied since 1964. Some 2,500 foreign and local dignitaries will attend the ceremony in the colonial city of Cartagena, where huge billboards call on Colombians to accept the peace plan. “I can’t believe this day has finally come, peace is coming to Colombia,” said Juan Gamarra, 43, who sells jewelry in the walled city. Guests include U.N. head Ban Ki-moon, Cuban President Raul Castro, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and victims of the conflict. Though there is widespread relief at an end to the bloodshed and kidnappings of past decades, the deal has caused divisions in Latin America’s fourth-biggest economy. Some, including influential former president Alvaro Uribe, are angered the accord allows rebels to enter congress without serving any jail time. The agreement must be ratified during an Oct. 2 plebiscite, but polls show it will pass easily. The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) - which began as a peasant revolt, became big players in the cocaine trade and had as many as 20,000 fighters at their strongest - will hand over weapons to the United Nations within 180 days. “It’s such an important day - now we can fight politically, without blood, without war,” said Duvier, a 25-year-old rebel attending a FARC congress last week in the southern Yari Plains. Colombians are nervous over how the remaining 7,000 rebels will integrate into society, but most are optimistic peace will bring more positives than problems. Colombia’s economy has performed well relative to neighbors in recent years, and peace should reduce security costs and open new areas for mining and oil companies. But crime gangs could try to fill the void and landmines hinder development. (rtr)

HEMPSTEAD - Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump will face off for the first time on Monday in a presidential debate that could rank as one of the most watched and highly anticipated political showdowns in U.S. history. The surprisingly tight race for the White House and the unpredictable clash in styles between well-known but polarizing foes has generated wide interest in the potentially pivotal encounter, which comes six weeks before the Nov. 8 election. The size of the audience is expected to challenge the presidential debate record of 80 million who watched the 1980 encounter between Democratic President Jimmy Carter and Republican Ronald Reagan. The 90-minute debate will begin at 9 p.m. (0100 GMT on Tuesday) at Hofstra University on New York’s Long Island. It is the first of three planned presidential debates. Both Trump and Clinton, who

polls show are the least liked White House candidates in modern history, hope to use the debate to erase some of those lingering voter doubts and address campaign-trail weaknesses. The volatile Trump, a businessman and former reality television star, will get a chance to show a depth and steadiness worthy of a credible commander in chief, while the cautious Clinton will be able to try to connect directly with voters who do not trust her, strategists said. But Trump, a political newcomer who has often shown more affinity for putdowns than policy, could benefit from lower expectations from voters. “There is no question it’s a lower bar for Trump. He doesn’t have

to be brilliant, he just can’t be too bombastic,” said Dan Schnur, a former Republican strategist who is now a political scientist at the University of Southern California. The stakes are enormous. The debate comes as polls show Clinton’s once sizable lead over Trump has evaporated amid more questions about her family foundation and her use of a private email server while secretary of state. A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Monday showed half of America’s likely voters would rely on the debates to help them make their choice. More than half, 61 percent, were hoping for a civil debate and were not interested in the bitterness shown on the campaign trail. (rtr)

Turtle breeding at Deluang Sari

TANJUNG BENOA - Deluang Sari, a little delta overgrown by mangrove forests with coastal white sand and calm waves, is situated overlooking the sea rec-

reation center of Benoa Harbor. Since it has an intact ecological system, clean beaches and lush mangrove forests, this place was then developed for breeding sea

turtles. At low tide, we can get there on foot in the sidelines of the mangrove trees of Tanjung Benoa, while at high tides we have to cross by boat from Benoa

Harbor for about 10 minutes. Aside from seeing turtle breeding, visitors coming here can also see different types of fighting cocks, animals and wild birds as well as

a small temple. As a tourist destination, this small island has also been equipped with restaurants, souvenir shops and animal attractions. (IBP/net)

Team Europe stun Sweden in OT to reach World Cup final

TORONTO - Team Europe extended their unthinkable run at the World Cup of Hockey with a stunning 3-2 overtime win over favoured Sweden on Sunday to earn a surprise berth in the best-of three final against hosts Canada. The ragtag group of players from eight different countries were the popular pick to finish last out of the eight teams but that did not keep them from pulling off the tournament’s biggest upset over a Swedish team that won silver at the 2014 Olympics. “Nobody thought back then we would make it to the semifinals and we did it. Nobody thought we could make it to the finals and we did it,” said Team Europe’s Slovenian captain Anze Kopitar. Team Europe were created solely for the 2016 World Cup in a bid to avoid lopsided results that would likely have occurred had the next best European team after Russia, Sweden, Finland and the Czech Republic been included. With no national anthem and dismissed as too old and slow to make any noise when the World Cup began, few expected the mix of European players to find the type of chemistry that is usually integral to achieving success in a two-week tournament. But the squad mostly cruised

through the preliminary round, where they finished runner-up to tournament favourite Canada in Group A, and were not intimidated in the semi-final when they came up against a formidable Swedish defense. “Everybody thought that having eight different countries was going to be the Achilles that we had no chance to play here,” Team Europe head coach Ralph Krueger told reporters. “But these are all National Hockey League players. We have a locker room full of guys who had to fight to get here and fight to stay.” Slovakia forward Tomas Tartar scored the winner moments after Swedish goalie Henrik Lundqvist made a pad save on his initial shot from in close. The rebound caromed off Tartar’s skate and into the net less than four minutes into overtime. The Slovakian forward’s goal stood up after a short review concluded he did not kick the puck into the net. “We have a chance to play in the final which is great,” said Tartar. “The story continues.” Team Europe, made up of players from Slovakia, Slovenia, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France and Norway, will now face Canada in a best-ofthree final starting on Tuesday.

Team Sweden forwards Patric Hornqvist (72) and Nicklas Backstrom (19) battle for the puck with Team Europe defenceman Andrej Sekera (2) and goalie Jaroslav Halak (41) during a semifinal game in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey at Air Canada Centre.

McIlroy rolled in a 15-foot putt at East Lake’s par-four 16th to beat American Ryan Moore, sending the large gallery into a frenzy that might more likely be expected at next week’s Ryder Cup. “It was incredible,” former world number McIlroy said at the victory presentation. “Sorry for the hoarse voice. I sort of lost my voice screaming at the end. “I feel my game is coming together at the right time. Two wins in the last three feels pretty nice.” McIlroy, 27, vaulted into the playoff with a barnstorming finish to his final round, holing out from 140 yards to eagle the same hole where he would clinch the win 90 minutes later. He closed his final-round 64

with a tap-in birdie at the par-five 18th and only joined the playoff with American Kevin Chappell (66) and Moore (64) when the latter’s eight-footer to win in regulation lipped out. McIlroy then squandered a golden chance to win it at the first extra hole when he missed a sixfooter. Chappell was eliminated on the first extra hole. McIlroy looked shell-shocked but regrouped to sink a sevenfooter and stave off defeat at the third extra hole, before clinching it at the next. “It was such a nice one, uphill, just outside the right edge,” McIlroy he said of his winning putt. “I knew if I hit a good putt it had a great chance of going in. To

see that ball drop, everything has come together for me. To be able to come here and pull it off is really special. “I’ve won the money list a few times in Europe but never been able to quite do it here, the FedExCup in the U.S. When you put your mind to it, great things happen.” McIlroy’s gain was Dustin Johnson’s loss as the U.S. Open champion would have won the FedExCup had either Moore or Chappell won the playoff. Johnson started the final round tied for the lead with Chappell, but struggled to a 73 in ideal conditions to plunge to into a tie for sixth at five-under. So instead it was McIlroy, the only member of the European Ryder Cup team in the field at East Lake, who clinched the season-long points race and $10 million bonus along with $1.53 million for the tournament victory.

Sp rt South Korea recalls Son for Qatar, Iran World Cup qualifiers

Rampant Dortmund will put stuttering Real to the test

SEOUL — South Korea coach Uli Stielike has recalled Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-min ahead of next month’s 2018 World Cup qualification games against Qatar and Iran. Stielike allowed Son to miss the 1-1 draw with Syria earlier this month to focus on his career with Tottenham in the Premier League. For Son and Spurs, it was a successful move. The attacker scored four goals in the subsequent three league games, including a double in the 2-1 win at Middlesbrough on Saturday that lifted Spurs into second spot. “If you look at his performances of late, you can see that Son is playing well,” Stielike said Monday. “His confidence is high and he is having a positive influence on his team overall.” South Korea hosts Qatar on Oct. 6 and plays Iran in Tehran five days later in important continental qualifiers. Son joined Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in August 2015 but, partly because of injuries, struggled to settle in his first season in England and was restricted to four goals. Tot-

tenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino said Son just needed more time to adjust. “It is difficult for all the players who come from outside England because the Premier League is the toughest league in the world,” Pochettino was quoted as saying. “After one year and the summer he is a different person — he’s more mature and he knows the league and he’s settled in fantastically now. When a front player scores goals it is easy for him to settle.” Two other Premier League players have been included in South Korea’s squad. Swansea City’s Ki Sung-yeung and Lee Chung-yong of Crystal Palace both featured in the 3-2 win over China on Sept. 1 and the subsequent draw with Syria. The

2002 World Cup semifinalist is aiming to qualify for a ninth successive World Cup. The top two from each of the two six-team groups in Asia qualify automatically for the 2018 edition in Russia.(ap) Reuters / Russell Cheyne

FIFA fighting racism ‘seriously’ despite ending task force MANCHESTER — FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura insisted Monday that the fight against racism is being taken “very seriously” despite the governing body’s task force overseeing discrimination being abolished. The Associated Press revealed Sunday that the task force was being dismantled after FIFA told its members the mission had been completed after three years. “The task force had a very specific mandate that to our knowledge it has fully fulfilled,” Samoura said at the SoccerEx convention. “Its recommendations have now been turned into a program and a strong one.” Samoura was appointed in May as the organization’s first female and first African top administrator

of world soccer’s governing body as part of the overhaul under Gianni Infantino. The Senegalese former United Nations official said her “presence here is a strong testimony that for FIFA, it is a zero tolerance policy” on discrimination and it is an inclusive organization. Responding to criticism of the task force being scrapped, Samoura said, “We can live with perceptions, but we are taking very seriously our role as the world governing body of football to fight discrimination.” Before Samoura took the SoccerEx platform, a senior British politician spoke out against the decision to dismantle the task force with ongoing concern about racism at stadiums in Russia.

Samoura insisted Monday Sept. 26, 2016 that the fight against racism is being taken “very seriously” despite the governing body’s task force overseeing discrimination being abolished.

lier this month, European soccer’s governing body, UEFA, ordered Russian club Rostov to close a section of its stadium for its Champions League game against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday as punishment for the racist behavior of fans. “I worry about that with a World Cup looming in Russia,” said Andy Burnham, a former sports secretary who speaks on Home Affairs for the opposition Labour Party. “We can’t be complacent and feel at all we have succeeded in the fight against racism in sport.” The task force was established in 2013 by then-FIFA President Sepp Blatter and headed by Jeffrey Webb, a vice president of world soccer’s governing body until he was arrested in 2015 as part of the American investigation into soccer corruption. Webb, who pleaded guilty to racketeering charges, was replaced in September 2015 as task force chairman by Congolese federation president Constant Omari.(ap)

European champions Real Madrid head to rampaging Borussia Dortmund for their Champions League Group F game on Tuesday in a frazzled state with their buoyant start to the season having been punctured by successive La Liga draws. Real gave away a late equaliser to draw 2-2 at Las Palmas on Saturday, after their joint-record 16-game winning streak in La Liga was halted by Wednesday’s 1-1 home stalemate against Villarreal, which saw their lead at the top cut to a point. Dortmund, meanwhile, have been on a sizzling run since losing to RB Leipzig on Sept. 10, scoring 20 goals in four straight wins against Legia Warsaw in the Champions League and Darmstadt, Wolfsburg and Freiburg in the Bundesliga. Dortmund, who thrashed the Polish club 6-0 away in their opening group game, are second in the German top flight and on Friday equalled a club record of 24 games without defeat at home in the Bundesliga with a 3-1 win over Freiburg. Even in the midst of Real’s sensational winning run, Zinedine Zidane’s side were criticised by the media for unconvincing performances and their sloppiness was punished by Las Palmas in their last La Liga outing. Midfielder Tana hooked home a poor clearance from Real’s Raphael Varane to cancel out Marco Asensio’s opener and, after Karim Benzema had restored Real’s lead, Sergio Araujo sneaked into the box from the left to level in

Getafe fires Esnaider after rough start in 2nd division MADRID — Getafe has fired Argentine coach Juan Esnaider after the team has won only one match in its return to the Spanish second division. The announcement was made on Monday, a day after the team’s 2-0 loss to Girona at home. It was Getafe’s second consecutive loss and its third in four matches. The team, from Madrid’s suburbs, is 21st in the 22team standings after seven rounds. Esnaider was hired in April to try to save the team from relegation from the top flight, but it finished second to last in the standings and could not avoid demotion. Esnaider’s replacement was not immediately announced.(ap)

the 85th minute. Real’s lacklustre displays have been compounded by the absence of midfield anchor Casemiro and influential left back Marcelo through injury and the form of talisman Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo has endured a difficult start to the season, scoring twice in four games -- including against his former club Sporting in Real’s 2-1 home win in their first Champions League group game - while missing three due to injury and illness. He reacted angrily to being substituted by Zidane with 18 minutes left at Las Palmas. Striker Alvaro Morata, however, said there were still plenty of reasons to be optimistic. “We still haven’t lost and we are still top of the league. The important thing is how you finish and we have to win all our games if possible,” he told reporters on Saturday. “We have to keep working and now focus our minds on the Champions League.” Eleven-times European champions Real have a dismal record in Germany, having won four out of 30 competitive games in the country, and have lost their last three visits to Dortmund. Dortmund are waiting on the fitness of their Spain centre-back Marc Bartra and Colombian forward Adrian Ramos, who both missed Friday’s win over Freiburg. Their hitman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang finished the game with a knock although the Gabon striker, who has four goals in his last three games, said it was nothing to worry about.(rtr)

Turtle breeding at Deluang Sari

TANJUNG BENOA - Deluang Sari, a little delta overgrown by mangrove forests with coastal white sand and calm waves, is situated overlooking the sea rec-

reation center of Benoa Harbor. Since it has an intact ecological system, clean beaches and lush mangrove forests, this place was then developed for breeding sea

turtles. At low tide, we can get there on foot in the sidelines of the mangrove trees of Tanjung Benoa, while at high tides we have to cross by boat from Benoa

Harbor for about 10 minutes. Aside from seeing turtle breeding, visitors coming here can also see different types of fighting cocks, animals and wild birds as well as

a small temple. As a tourist destination, this small island has also been equipped with restaurants, souvenir shops and animal attractions. (IBP/net)
