(Nostress – Bali Tolak Reclaimer)
The song is slanted as a hundreds of Balinese young children when holding action down to the road around the Renon Court which is also the central area of the Government of Bali Province on Friday 13 March 2015. For the secretary of the time in these two years, the young Balinese children of the youth elements, students, artists, entrepreneurs, and workers who are joined in the Bali People's Forum Tolak Reclaim (ForBali) demonstrations with street art performance to reject the reclaim project plan in Benoa Bay, Bali. The action is also to demand the government cancel the President Regulation (Perpres) Number 51 of 2014 which is the basis of the reclaimed law and the utilization of Benoa Bay by investors.
The reason for young Balinese gencar children voiced rejection to the plan of over 700 hectares of marine fertilizing project in Benoa Bay, South Bali, it is very simple, they do not want the nature where they were born and raised damaged. Floods, abrasions, destroyed coral reefs along sea biota, sea ecosystem damage and bakau, as well as a variety of forms of natural maturity due to being tampered by humans haunt their mind.
Cognises questions, critics, and comments were collected from the young Balinese children who were ruling. ‘We no longer need for the construction of resorts, hotels, tourist rides, etc.! Bali has been quite damaged, excessive development leads to the nature and culture of Balinese people! We reject the reclaimation of any reason, for our children later! If for the reason for the economic average, why should be built in South Bali that has been exploited excessively, why is not the average economy in North Bali or West Bali? Where is the President Joko Widodo, the young children of Bali, take the heart at the time of the pill and then? Why not we do? Benoa Bay is a conservation area that is changed to specific interests! Reclamation will destroy the coastal and marine biota ecosystem while killing us slowly! Bali does not belong to the rulers and investors! Solved Presidential Decree 51 Year 2014! Don’t let us sink! We don’t need to reclaim, we need rice!’
In the middle of the provincial government's affirmation of the reclaimed megaproject, the sounds of affirming will continue to be excluded the young children of the Gods Island to their demands are achieved, namely the termination of the reclaim project of Benoa Bay and the cancellation of the Presidential Decree Number 51 of 2014 by the current ruler. Although the aral memories and their voices do not rush at the seantero Nusantara, they are determined to continue to fight against.
