What we can do to safe Balinese?

I am a Balinese but almost whole of my live is in out of Bali, after graduate from medical school in Jakarta I decided to work in Bali. I was about three years ago, the first time I know about Bali, the beauty makes I can’t leave Bali, the culture and society its comfort me, and Bali is the place where I found my first girl for my live.

I found Bali that’s full by foreigners; it is not just from another country but also from another islands in Indonesia. World are known Bali is a safe place that you can go around safely, but we also hear about a tourist losing their wallet in daylight because of motorcycle thieves, Japanese tourist being killed and rape on the street, villa robbery, etc. Now is very rare, tourist still safe going anywhere by them self safely, but if this community problem more often happen will be damage Bali tourism.

Foreigners are not also having their vacation in Bali. Most of businesses in Bali are running by foreigner. Very rare Balinese have there own business, they only being employees or worker. Balinese competitive levels are very low compare by foreigner, although there are also great successes Balinese. Many reason of it such as, community tough that do not need to take high degree, if you a male have a lot of land that’s enough just stay home, Balinese have a lot ceremony so will have lots of off days and many more. Balinese will be marginalize like Betawi people in Jakarta that being drive away from their land. Many Balinese are losing their land for build villa. In long run Balinese community will be destroyed and leaving to another island in Indonesia.

Sallow thought most of Balinese very damaged Balinese competitive level. Society said it is like a turtle. A turtle will pull down its friend above when climbing a rock, and pushing downs its friend below. So who will be on top? Jealousy is Balinese bad character.

There is many Balinese if they have their success, they will be arrogant and tread their worker. It is very bad, human resource is the most of company they have to realize it. This condition makes a bad competitive level of Balinese company compare from Foreigner Company.

Balinese must changes this character for increase their competitive level, they have to be a great educated, and have a wide knowledge. We must change Bali, we cannot blame foreigner for what happen now.

I am a doctor, I meet many people and as society “Guru” I always share this though to the society to safe Bali.
