NEGARA - By the ASEAN Summit held in Bali next November, two higher officials of Bali security commander checked in person the entrance at Gilimanuk Harbor. The Udayana Military Commander Maj. Gen. Leonard Louk with Bali Police Chief Insp. Gen. of Police Totoy H. Indra made site inspection to know security condition at Gilimanuk Harbor, Wednesday afternoon (Oct 26). A number of security points at the entrance to the Island of Bali were examined together with Jembrana Chief Police, Gr. Com. Adj. of Police (PGCA) Irfing Jaya. Similarly, the examination was also made at ID card inspection counter. They had time to chat with motorcycle taxi riders who hung out in the exit area as well as hawkers in the harbor. The commander judged there were still potential gaps of crimes as many hawkers operated in the harbor area. His party requested to find out a win-win solution so their existence did not disturb the security and they were still able to make a living. Commander also asked the motorcycle taxi riders not to take passengers without passing through the standard operating procedures (SOPs) of inspection. Both the identity and luggage of the motorcycle taxi users should undergo an inspection. It was intended to anticipate the possibility of passengers carrying hazardous items. Continued on page 6

Snowfall in quake-hit Turkey as toll passes 500 Agence France-Presse
Snow blanketed eastern Turkey Thursday, complicating rescue efforts and bringing more misery for the thousands left homeless by a devastating earthquake as the death toll surged past 500. Ninety-one hours after disaster struck in the eastern province of Van, rescuers pulled a 19-yearold from the rubble in the town of Ercis but the prospects of finding more people alive were fading fast. After the government acknowledged failings in the initial rescue efforts, help from abroad was beginning to arrive, including an aid plane from Israel. But in a sign of the disillu-
sionment with the help they had received so far, some families who had been staying in tents began returning to their homes despite warnings that they were still at risk of collapse from aftershocks. Many families have been forced to sleep in overcrowded tents or even out in the open around fires as the temperatures drop to below freezing. In its latest damage assessment bulletin, the prime minister’s emergency unit said that 523 people were now known to have died after the 7.2 magnitude quake struck. A further 1,650 had been injured in the disaster, it added. A total of 185 people had been pulled out of the wreckage, officials said. The latest survivor to have beaten
the odds, a student named Mohammed, was rescued from the rubble of a five-storey building, the NTV news channel reported. He was rescued by an emergency crew who travelled to Ercis from Malatya, a distance of around 570 kilometres. But with the hopes of finding more survivors receding, attentions were focusing increasingly on how to help those who had lost their homes. The arrival of an Israeli plane carrying five pre-fabricated homes to provide shelter was a powerful symbol of the change of heart by the government which had initially refused help from abroad. Relations between Turkey and Israel have been toxic in recent months in the wake of a deadly
raid by Israeli commandos last year on an aid vessel bound for the Gaza Strip. “Three more planes loaded with aid supplies will come to Turkey within two days,” Nizar Amer, an official from the Israeli embassy in Ankara, told the Anatolia news agency. A 150-person rescue team from Azerbaijan was already in the quake zone, becoming the first foreign group to show up in the earthquake region in eastern part of the country. “Turkey’s pain is our pain. We are very sad with what we have seen here,” said 24-year old Ramil Aliyev from the Azerbaijani firefighter team. Continued on page 6
