Dear friends,
On 10 Februari 2009, Bali Post reported that agreement meet from each of all Head Traditional Villages Denpasar on meeting about not conducting 'Ogoh-ogoh' festival on next preceding day of Nyepi Day 2009. Those agreements continued as issued Letter of Statement from regent of Denpasar as he agreed about the result of agreement from Head of Villages.
I Nyoman Suarjana said that as Balinesse Hinduism he couldn't understand the way of Head of villages and regent of Denpasar took the decision. Security Problem as mayor problem in conducting 'Ogoh-ogoh' festival and also in coincidence with next general election and Panca Bali Krama Ceremony in Basakih. They might think that Ogoh-ogoh festival could bother those activities.
The decision could deliver many protest from many part of people in Bali.
Low trust of government police institution become issued because they must keep peacefulness at any activities that conducted by people, they unable keep peacefulness during the event like Ogoh-ogoh festival.
Other issued ogoh-ogoh festival judge as activities that could make dirty of Panca Bali Krama Ceremony that will conducted in Basakih.
Most of prominent people in Denpasar sad about the decision because they couldn't see a positive correlation between ogoh-ogoh festival and Panca Bali Krama Ceremony.
We have known that people during ogoh-ogoh festival from year to year could control their temper and could express their art in building artistic ogoh-ogoh. We've also known that there was no any brutal and dispute during the festival. So why the decided to prohibit the festival?
They should negotiate with most of all other side in community before took the agreement, those include the police, balinesse traditional security, and also with prominent people that have skill to control their people.
What about you friends, What do you thing about the prohibition of Ogoh-ogoh festival? r you agree?
Kind regards,
ardan
