The Balinese Language Month imbued the spirit of language preservation. The event is strongly related to the apprehensive fact that the Balinese's interest in using their native language is plummeting significantly over the years. The festival was successfully held and gathered significant attention from the public. It is suggested to conduct follow up research to measure the public's heed after the Balinese Language Festival or any similar events. Should the public's favour in learning and using their native discourse increases, then the program should be treated as a frontline in preserving the language. However, when the festival turned out did not make any significant change in society, perhaps a better strategy should be considered in generating social awareness in their mother language. Furthermore, the research might be as well acts as input for the committee; on this occasion, the provincial Government of Bali to keep on improving the quality of the language preservation festival.

Abstract

Topeng Sidakarya dance is a masked wali dance originated from the 16th century. A typical old art performance that utilises a mask to express the figure's character. It is believed the art was choreographed after a brief visit of Brahmana Keling, a sage from eastern Java to Bali at the time King Dalem Waturenggong was reigning Gelgel Kingdom. The tour of Brahmana keling to the grand ritual held in the 16th century by king Dalem Waturenggong gave birth to Topeng Sidakarya dance; An art to dedicate Brahmana Keling’s service for Gelgel kingdom. His service had led Bali to reach its prosperous time for an extended period. The dance is recognised by its unique mask characteristics: a white-based colour mask, squinting eyes, black or white moustache, smiling expression and exaggerated overbite teeth. Topeng Sidakarya dance served as a complement of religious rituals based on king Dalem Waturenggong’s decree for the future generation. It is compulsory to perform the sacred art as it carries a symbol that the ceremony has been well-acted, and the organiser would meet their expectation for the ritual.

Abstract

In Bali, Study of traditional herbal medicine is known under term Usadha, derived from Sanskrit word Ausadhi means healing plants. The ancient wisdom of botanical medicine texts has been compiled on Lontar (Dried-Borassus leaf) under name Lontar Usadha. Traditional Balinese Usadha treatment is carried out by a shaman called Balian; whether Balian Ketakson or Balian Usadha. Usadha practice on the island of Bali is strongly related to herbal plants' existence. Herbal medication has been proven in Bali as a primary treatment for the patient since ancient times. However, due to current medication service, people no longer prefer a botanical-based therapy as the first option. As a result, the number of herbal plants on the island of Bali has been plummeting over the years. Although on some occasions, the central government and provincial government had suggested cultivating herbaceous plant as a decorative plant on a household level, yet the program did not make any significant impact. In December 2019, Governor of Bali, Wayan Koster expressed his deep interest on indigenous health service industry to be provided by hospitals, both state and private. On occasion, Indonesia minister of Health, Terawan Agus Putranto, showed his support for the development of health tourism, travelling medicine, and complementary traditional services with local genius. They both agreed that the service would be promoted under 'Traditional Balinese Medicine (TBM) service' branding. In future, it is expected that TBM would be available as an alternative service on Bali hospitals. The facility would promote herbal industry development as well as herbal plant preservation through the availability of local herb farms to be established in ​​Bangli, Karangasem, and Tabanan areas.

Abstract

Myths are common in Balinese society’ belief system that rooted back to the local religion, Wali and Hinduism teaching. There are many stories in ancient texts; most of them cover the story of influential figures such as Gods, Deities, Demon, evil spirit and et cetera. Gods and Goddess represent good, righteousness and source that brings happiness and joy to human. In contrast, other entities like Demons and evil spirits become a symbol of maleficent that create chaos and disaster on earth. Through Balinese history, there were many disasters, plagues, and diseases that took heavy tolls. The Myth from ancient Balinese texts helps to provide consultation as well as the perspective of the ancient civilisation in dealing with many unfortunate situations, including plagues and diseases. The mythical story leads to numerous ceremonies being celebrated on the island. The ritual act as an expression of gratitude, apologise, and a moment to self-reflect that humankind is not the only creature that inhabits the universe. The teaching emphasises that the local community is mandatory to take care of their environment, avoid exploiting nature, subsequently as an alarm to the individual to live in humble and responsible. Despite the locals are well adapted to modern technology and received higher education, apparently did not halt the rites. They believed the activities are identity as well as precious treasure from their honourable ancestor.

Abstract

After received harsh critiques in 2016, once more, a rumor about the construction of a bridge between Java island and Bali island has been sparking wildly since January 2020. Previously, Banyuwangi Regent Azwar anaz proposed a plan to build a connecting bridge to reduce vehicle queues in ketapang harbor. Commonly, the traffic would reach its peak time on holiday season after Eid al-Fitr, where congestion in Ketapang harbor got its limit capacity. For decades, the Bali strait has been serving as a connecting port between Java and Bali, which is essential for economic growth and public migration. Meanwhile, philosophically, the strait holds a symbol of new hope and new life that separates between past and future. A rumor to build an overpass between java island and Bali island discussed in early 2020 and in 2016 to reduce vehicle queues in ketapang harbor received critiques from Balinese society. To connect the two islands by land route would be considered a poor decision since it would affect some values and cultures that the community, especially Bali, holds dearly. Thus as an alternative solution, the idea of making another dock, an executive dock, both in Ketapang and Gilimanuk, is much preferred. The presence of the executive port will automatically eradicate the resurgent discourse on the Java-Bali bridge construction. Because crossing via ship alone takes 15 minutes, thus the Java-Bali bridge seems unnecessary. The executive pier would be in synergy with the construction of the Denpasar - Gilimanuk toll road.
