Police in Klungkung have moved to defuse potential conflict following\nan assault incident by visiting labourers from Sumba, East Nusa\nTenggara, who reside in the onion warehouse area on Jalan Jepun,\nSemarapura Klod.<\/p>\n
Klungkung Police Head of Samapta, AKP I Gusti Lanang, stated the\npreventive measure was taken to ensure the security and public order\nsituation in the Serombotan area remains conducive. \u201cWe came to urge all\nworkers to maintain brotherhood, respect one another, and not be easily\nprovoked by emotions following the alleged assault incident involving\nresidents from Sumba,\u201d Lanang said.<\/p>\n
Lanang emphasised that the police presence among the workers from\neastern Indonesia was intended to provide a sense of security while also\ngathering information directly. At the same time, police asked the\nnewcomers not to be easily provoked by unverified issues.<\/p>\n
He specifically requested that residents from NTT who come to Bali be\nable to adapt to their surroundings. \u201cWherever you set foot, uphold the\nlocal customs. That means wherever you are, you should adapt to the\nhabits of the local community. If you are in Bali, then adjust to the\ncustoms of the Balinese people,\u201d he advised, which was met with nods\nfrom the residents.<\/p>\n
At the same location, Klungkung Police Chief Kompol I Gusti Ngurah\nYudistira reminded the workers to prioritise legal channels or\ndeliberation when facing problems, rather than taking the law into their\nown hands. According to him, synergy between the migrant community and\nthe police is key to maintaining security stability.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope that all members of the community, including workers, can\njointly maintain environmental security and immediately coordinate with\nthe police if there is any potential for public order disturbance,\u201d\nYudistira said.<\/p>\n
