Seeking to reassure visitors, Bali Governor Wayan Koster in a statement on Sunday noted the new laws, which come into affect in three years, could only be prosecuted if there was complaint by a parent, spouse or child.
Bali's government would ensure "there will be no checking on marital status upon check-in at any tourism accommodation, such as hotels, villas, apartments, guest houses, lodges and spas, "Wayan said.
Your insight is retarded by your unbelievable superior attitude. It is not under discussion here. Your institutional racism and very poor generalization is. Dont obfuscate.
It is very annoying to have your primitive and decrepit use of the English language, simply to satisfy your lack of tolerance and blind hatred of nationalities of a different skin colour.
You really should not be using oxygen and taking up valuable space in a third world continent. Your arrogance and presumed superiority is out of date here, and racism in any form is not wanted. Go away dinosaur.
Poor old Chas, he does get hung up on cliche. I think it resolves to launching onto a trajectory without fully realising where it is he wants to land and in the end he loses his thread and buggers up his sentence construction while thrashing about in the thickets of hackneyed phraseology.
Me, racist? Don’t be stupid Chas, the entire fucking species is pretty loathsome most times and I abhor all worthy of my contempt equally regardless of race or creed.
Still he is allowed to offer his opinions, as you are yours
Calling the kettle racist
And exactly why is it that you have taken up residence in a third world country ?
To stretch your funds ?
Let the brown people wait on you ?
You can't fool folks on TD.
Racist ?
Bali governor says new Indonesia laws pose no risk to tourists
JAKARTA, Dec 12 (Reuters) – Visitors to Bali will not be put at risk by Indonesia’s newly ratified criminal code, the island’s governor said, dismissing concerns that revised laws which include articles criminalising sex outside marriage may scare away tourists from its shores.
Indonesia’s parliament last week passed the controversial bill that also prohibits cohabitation between unmarried couples.
Seeking to reassure visitors, Bali Governor Wayan Koster in a statement on Sunday noted the new laws, which come into affect in three years, could only be prosecuted if there was complaint by a parent, spouse or child.
Those who “visit or live in Bali would not need to worry with regard to the entry into force of the Indonesian Criminal Code”, he said.
The governor said provisions in the criminal code on this issue had been altered from an earlier, stricter version so “would provide a better guarantee of everyone’s privacy and comfortableness.”
Bali’s government would ensure “there will be no checking on marital status upon check-in at any tourism accommodation, such as hotels, villas, apartments, guest houses, lodges and spas,” Wayan said.
Wayan also denied what he said were “hoax” reports of cancellations of flights and hotel room bookings, adding that data from travel agents, tour and accommodation operators, as well as airlines, showed the number of people set to visit Bali from December 2022 to March 2023 had increased.
Bali is the centre of tourism in Indonesia and the tourism association is targeting foreign arrivals on the predominately Hindu island to reach pre-pandemic levels of six million a year by 2025.
Decades in the making, legislators hailed the passage of the criminal code as a much-needed overhaul of a vestige of Dutch colonial rule. Officials say it aims to uphold “Indonesian values” in the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation.
But Maulana Yusran, deputy chief of Indonesia’s tourism industry board, said last week the new code was “totally counter-productive” at a time when the economy and tourism were starting to recover from the pandemic.
The United Nations has also expressed concern over threats to civil liberties posed by the criminal code, which also includes laws that make it an offence to insult the president, the national flag and state institutions.

Cyril, most westerners pay on average £3000+ per couple to spend two weeks on a Bali beach. Given the choice most of them, if offered the opportunity to retire in some such tropical venue, would jump at the chance.
Chas ekes out a reasonable pension in, for him, commodious circumstances as a contented singleton answerable to no one and can do so happy in the knowledge the temperature will never fall below 20c, he will not be assaulted in the street by some knife wielding adolescent thug wearing tracksuit bottoms and a hood, have to fuck a cellulite riddled, slack- jawed moose, or to pay taxes that have no bearing to any benefit he might derive through a Blighty residence.
Who would argue with that.
I personally would not billet myself in Bali because I don’t care for the lower end Antipodeans that flock there in huge numbers and the nauseating tree hugging Western airheads who seem to think it is some fucking earthly paradise.
But, horses for courses and there it is - wouldn’t do if we were all the same, would it. Life is a broad church even if most of the congregation are fucking idiots or frazzled loons.
One poster telling lies, another flaunting his appalling racism, and another one pretending to be God and guardian of poster morality!
Do fuck off.
