Bali Must Not Lose its Identity
Bali Post Article Tracks
the Decline and Loss of
the Island's Cultural
Identity Due to Poor
Enforcement of
Building Codes.
In a series of articles
examining Bali tourism, Bali
Post suggests that the island,
as a leading world tourism
destination, is increasingly
losing its identity.
T h i s f e a r,
expressed in
many circles, is
seemingly refuted
by Bali's growing
tourism numbers
which attest to its
attractions to
international
tourist visitors and
g r o w i n g
investment in
tourism projects.
U n f o r t u n a t e l y,
many of those
involved in Bali's
tourism industry
are ignorant of the
fact that the very
magnet that
draws people to Bali's shores is
its unique cultural identity.
Instead of working to preserve
and protect Bali's cultural
values, they instead become
the catalyst that accelerates
the destruction of Bali's
heritage through erecting
building that have no Balinese
characteristics in their design
and decoration.
One of the most glaring
examples of how business
people contribute to the rapid
destruction of Balinese culture
is how business places and
commercial centers are

virtually devoid of
Balinese architectural elements.
Despite rules mandating "Bali
style" be incorporated in all Bali
buildings, businesses ignore
these building guidelines
preferring loyalty to "brand
image" over heritage
preservation. Ironically, those
within the provincial government
charged with enforcing building
rules, for reasons best known to
themselves, are reluctant to
enforce these clearly stated
guidelines.
Putu Rumawan Salain,
an observer on local building and
zoning issues, does not deny
that Bali's building construction
is becoming almost completely
divorced from requirements for
"Bali style." At the same time, he
says meeting a "Bali style"
requirement is not difficult. Rule
requiring Bali elements are
flexible and easily included in the
final architectural details of any
construction.
Explains Salain: "It all
depends on a commitment to

governments are required to
carefully supervise work being
carried out in the field, ensuring
that the rules are obeyed."
The chief of the Badung
regency tourism office
(Kadisparda), I Made Subawa,
also freely admits that the
buildings in his district,
especially those on the side of
roadways, ignore these rules.

Grandmother fined, tagged and on curfew for

Kevin Rudd, poking fun at him

in the process.
Williams, recently in
Australia voicing a character in the
animated film sequel Happy Feet
2, has been in the spotlight for
saying that Australians are just
"English rednecks" on David
Letterman's US talk show.
Mr Rudd told Eddie
Maguire's Triple M radio show the
comments were not warranted.
"I think Robin Williams
should go and spend a bit of time
News Corner
in Alabama before he
frames comments about anyone
being particularly redneck," Mr
Rudd said.
But speaking to Hamish
and Andy on the Today Network,
Williams laughed off the
comments.
"Nice comeback, way to
go K-Rudd, how's the food on the
plane, good day," Williams said.
"I was just there for two
weeks. Every time I've been in
Australia it's been wonderful. I
love it down there. Helloooo!"
Williams said he had
used the same line on stage in
Australia and no-one had been
angry about it then.
Asked how he felt about
a prime minister on the other side
of the world taking offence to his
comments, Williams said: "I don't
know, it's interesting - maybe it's
because Mr Abbott did well in the
ironman."
Hamish and Andy told
Williams they thought Mr Rudd
was the only Australian
offended.
"Mr Rudd I apologise,"
Williams replied.
"It's linguistics. I would
like to modify my terminology
and say 'English good old boy'.
"If the term redneck is
offensive, forgive me, sir. Please
let me come back to Australia
without a cavity search, and if not
you in New York."
Meanwhile, Mr Rudd's
reference to Alabama and
rednecks generated a terse
response from Alabama
governor Bob Riley.
"I'm not sure if Prime
Minister Rudd has ever been to
Alabama," Mr Riley responded in
a statement.
"If he has, he would know
that Alabamians are decent,
hard-working, creative people.”

Price has played 313
