Actor Tom Holland seems to have fallen for Bali. Despite his first visit to the resort island being for work, the Spider-Man actor was hoping that someday he could come back just for a holiday. He is also hoping for a chance to make a movie in Bali.

“[…] Absolutely, I think it could be a dream come true to make a movie here,” Holland said in front of journalists from the Asia Pacific region in Bali on Tuesday.

The media conference was part of a Sony Pictures Entertainment press tour to promote its upcoming movie productions, including Spider-Man: Far From Home, in which Holland plays Spider-Man.

Holland, who came with his two brothers, shared a story of himself going to a pub where he met and chatted with a man. He was told off when he said he came to Bali for work.

As much as he realizes he is in the island for work, Holland still got the chance to play golf and surf, including at a beach recommended by fellow actor Chris Hemsworth, who is also in Bali to promote Men in Black: International.

Holland, however, was not very pleased with the surf beach recommendation, as it was more suitable to a more experienced surfer such as Hemsworth himself.

“So he [Chris] can paddle like this […] We don’t. Hopefully we can find somewhere [a] little bit easier to surf. […] if you have any suggestions on surfing and scuba diving, […],” he said.

He went on to say that when signing the contract for Spider-man: Far From Home, he never imagined that Sony Pictures would take him to Bali to talk in front of the media.

“I think Sony is the first studio to do a press tour here, because Indonesia is now one of the largest markets […] in the world and it’s amazing. It’s a wonderful thing. […] Sony, please, don’t let this be the last time to come here,” he said.

SINGAPORE — Despite reports of Mount Agung spewing ashes and halting all flights going in and out of Bali, one thing’s for sure; it’s OKAY to be stuck on an island with Spider-Man.

The 22-year-old English actor was snapped in Bali today (26 May) and here are some pictures posted by his fans. There are no signs of his rumoured love Zendaya nearby, though.

Tom who reprises his role as Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Far From Home, will see his character return after being dusted off and resurrected in Avengers: Endgame. The final film in phase four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will roll out in cinemas 2 July 2019.

Jakarta election “demonstrations over. Everything back to normal”

Approximately 19 hours ago I was concerned about not receiving any information on the Internet or through the social media networks about the recent severe post-election demonstrations in Jakarta.

 I posted on an unblocked Facebook page the following question regarding the presidential election demonstrations which led to six to eight deaths, hundreds of injuries and almost a thousand arrests.

I hoped that someone using unblocked with VPN Internet access on Facebook or social media networks which were not blocked by the government would answer exactly what was going on in Jakarta?

I asked the following question “Is it there Anybody in Jakarta who can report on the current status of demonstrations I would appreciate it.” Lawrence Bmb

19 hrs · 

The answer I received from someone who lives there was.

“No more Demonstrations. All under control 👍Business back as usually.”

This confirms information I had been receiving from my friends and associates in Jakarta that everything had pretty will calm down.

What could have been a national emergency created by possible Isis terrorists instigating several thousand extreme protesters were curtailed by some very swift action by the government.

 Evidently from what I can ascertain the government found that several supporters had American currencies which they found out were provided to them by several people to pay for them to protest. 

 In other words, these people were not protesting because of their conviction that the opposition presidential candidate was cheated but simply wanted to make some money.

Many of the protesters were from small towns and villages in Java. Most were Young adults who have very little going on in life and jumped at the opportunity to be involved in something with some action. Especially when if they could see their face shown on social media or the news.

It didn’t take long before the government analyzed the mobile phones of these protesters who were paid for their effort to determine who paid these individuals were.

In the end hundreds were arrested at the protest site and throughout Indonesia for participating in unauthorized protests.

Also, from what I’m reading the six and possibly eight individuals that were killed during the demonstration may have been killed by the protester's leaders who wanted a martyr -type situation which would further fuel the protesters.

I congratulate the person most responsible for ending this process in a relatively short time. The buck stopped with Pres. Joko Widodo who had the foresight to bring in an estimated 60,000 troops and only arming them with rubber bullets, according to government sources.

I also congratulate all the 60,000 troops for their and professionalism when they did not get carried away with threats, their lives such as rocks and even fireworks fired directly at them.

We cannot forget to congratulate the masterminds who decided to put a ban on social media networks and possibly even slow down the Internet to a point where nobody could download current information.

This prevented false news from spreading through the network and perhaps leading to even more violence.

Although personally it was frustrating especially when I was trying new Internet banking, I think it was a master decision that prevented fake news from causing further damage, deaths and injuries.

So, the bottom line is it appears that it is all over although there is always a chance of small protests.

The president, his cabinet, the Army and police force have shown that they can control even mass demonstrations.

There is no question in my mind that everything will get back to normal.

I’m so convinced that in fact, I am not canceling my planned road trips with my family throughout Java and Sumatra which includes stop off in major cities including Jakarta.

Those concerned about coming to Indonesia, especially Bali which is almost 1,000 km or 620 Miles from Jakarta should alleviate their concerns, get on the plane and come enjoy paradise.

Jakarta riots: Indonesian president says he will not tolerate threats to unity

Bali and world news and views the editor's comments.

I agree with the second term President Jokowi that he should "no longer tolerate threats" from a gang of people set on one purpose to disrupt Jakarta and Indonesia.

After all, many of these protestors are not working from their hearts but from their pocketbook. Others are there because they want to be on social media as there nothing else going on in their life.

Of course, others want to be there because they want to take over a democracy illegally.

For whatever reason, they shouldn't be there in the first place.  You need a legal permit to protest. The police should've stopped them before they even started.

Now it's time to show strength.  Jokowi was elected president by a majority of Indonesians. Most provinces throughout Indonesia except for the Northern Western provinces wanted him to serve a second term.

The Residents of Jakarta deserve peace and tranquility which is one of the main features offered by a proper, legal democracy.

I hope they get really tough and just round them up and throw them all in jail.

Jakarta riots: Indonesian president says he will not tolerate threats to unity

Second night of violence after six people died in clashes that flared after official election results gave Joko Widodo victory

Political tension over disputed election results spilled into angry clashes for a second consecutive night in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, with protesters hurling rocks and firecrackers at police, who responded with tear gas.

Thousands gathered at Indonesia’s election supervisory agency on Wednesday, protesting against what they claimed was widespread fraud in the 17 April presidential poll.

The election commission said on Tuesday that president Joko Widodo had won re-election with 55% of the vote, in a poll that is widely regarded as free and fair.

In daylight hours Wednesday’s protest in Central Jakarta was peaceful, with supporters of defeated candidate, the former special forces general Prabowo Subianto, calling for an investigation and waving Islamic and Indonesian flags. Some held flowers and signs denouncing the deaths of six protestors the night before.


Indonesia riots: six dead after protesters clash with troops over election result

“We are peaceful, not treasonous,” said Rusli, 46, a Jakarta resident, who attended the rally. “The voting data has been manipulated and the rights of our voices has been diminished. We want justice.”

Parts of central Jakarta were in a security lockdown, with streets cordoned off with rolls of barbed wire, central transport stations shut, and 30,000 police and military troops on standby.

By nightfall many had left the demonstration, but authorities struggled to disperse a group of angry youths, who hurled rocks and fireworks over a razor-wire barricade. Police pushed back the main group of rioters after firing tear gas and rubber bullets. Reports said 250 people were arrested.

In a televised address, the president said the volatile situation, some of the worst political violence Indonesia has seen in recent decades, was under control.

Flanked by the military chief and his vice president, Widodo said: “I will work together with anyone to advance this country, but I will not tolerate anyone who disrupts the security, democratic processes and unity of our beloved nation.”

Nearly 60,000 security personnel were deployed on to the streets on Thursday, nearly double the previous number.

On Wednesday the national police chief confirmed that six people had died and dozens were injured.

Authorities have suggested the rioting was planned, and have not ruled out the possibility of “third-party provocateurs”.

Prabowo, who lost the 2014 election but this year declared himself the rightful winner, has said his team will contest the results through the constitutional court.

In the month since the election, key figures in his camp, some of who attended the Wednesday’s rally, called on supporters to put on a show of “people power”. As a result, at least two are now facing charges of treason.

Prabowo was a military commander during the fall of Indonesia’s longtime authoritarian leader Suharto in 1998, an event precipitated by the mass gathering of students.

The fiery general, also the former son-in-law of Suharto, was later dismissed for his conduct in 1998, specifically because he was accused of involvement in the kidnapping and torture of students, although this has never been proven and he has long denied it.

Early on Thursday Prabowo tried to set a conciliatory tone, calling for the protesters to go home, and again urging them to avoid violence.

“I plead to all elements of the people exercising their aspirations: the police, the armed forces, and everyone else to refrain from acts of physical harm,” he said, “We urge that the violence that happened last night and his dawn, which tarnished the dignity of the Indonesian nation, shall not repeat.”

On Wednesday, authorities for the first time blocked access to some social media sites in an attempt to stem the spread of fake news.

Six dead, 200 injured Jakarta Demonstrations - Bali safe according to 23-year Canadian expatriate resident!

Bali and world news and views editor's comments:

Editor Lawrence looking west towards Jakarta 1000 km away

As someone who has lived in Indonesia for almost 23 years, I can tell you that in Bali I feel completely safe with my family, company, 100 + Staff and my friends.

Remember that Jakarta is almost 1, 000 km or over 621 miles away from my home in Bali. 

Also, understand that as of the latest information, which is not confirmed, these provokers are primarily people who have been paid in some cases in U.S. dollars to go out there and cause havoc.

So far, president, Jokowi has done an excellent job although I would have preferred them not to allow any demonstrations to take place in the first place. 

The police have been well disciplined and issued with rubber bullets. So, if there are any deaths it is probably caused by someone trying to cause a problem.

Last night there was a total blackout on social media, and it was difficult to find out what was going on exactly.

This was a good move by the government because a lot of these kids that are out there causing Havoc simply to want to see their face on TV or on some Facebook or Instagram post.

The bottom line is my advice to anyone coming to Bali as the Australians say, "no worries mate”.

If it was unsafe, I would have my family out of here in a heartbeat.

Those visiting Jakarta should also not change your travel plans at all but should avoid all the areas that protesters are active in.

They also should avoid large malls and especially entertainment VENUES that would be a terrorists Targets.

I feel sorry for my friends and associates in Jakarta that they must go through this again and again and again.

It's time for the GOVERNMENT to take a hard stance and enforce their law that states you cannot have a demonstration without a permit.

There's no question in my mind in the weeks or even days to come this will all be forgotten, and we will go back to Indonesia bettering itself under a second term president who has already proven to be a leader and a great choice for the people.

Six dead, 200 injured in protests over Indonesia's election result

By Julia Hollingsworth and Devianti Faridz, CNN



Updated 0827 GMT (1627 HKT) May 22, 2019



Indonesian police shoot tear gas to disperse protesters during a demonstration outside the Elections Oversight Body in Jakarta on May 22, 2019.

Jakarta, Indonesia (CNN)Six people were killed and more than 200 injured in Indonesia's capital amid angry protests against the results of the country's recent general election.
On Tuesday, the General Elections Commission confirmed that incumbent President Joko Widodo -- known as Jokowi -- had won 55.5% of the vote, securing a second term as leader of the world's third largest democracy.
His longtime rival, Prabowo Subianto, has claimed widespread ballot-rigging, and his camp said he plans to challenge the election results by filing a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court.

Hundreds took to the streets of Jakarta on Tuesday night, throwing stones and firecrackers at police as smoke billowed from cars that had been set alight. Police in riot gear fired teargas and water at protestors.

Six people died and another 200 were injured in the protests that erupted overnight, according to Jakarta's Governor Anies Baswedan.

On Wednesday, Jakarta woke to streets littered with rubble and the burnt-out shells of cars. Dozens of shops in central Jakarta were closed on Wednesday morning as hundreds of protestors again took to the streets, monitored by by riot police carrying shields and wearing protective gear.

Authorities had been preparing for risk of civil unrest -- there was already heavy security and barbed-wire barricades up in Jakarta on Tuesday.

A long rivalry
This year's election was the second time Jokowi and Prabowo have faced off.

Joko Widodo secures second term as Indonesia's president
The pair went head-to-head in the 2014 general election, when there was a feeling that democracy itself was at stake. At the time, Prabowo indicated that he would roll back democratic reform, while Jokowi, a self-styled man-of-the-people with no links to the military or the country's traditional elite, promised to protect hard-won gains.

After losing that vote, Prabowo slammed the election commission, citing "massive, structural and systematic cheating," but the Constitutional Court upheld Widodo's victory.

Indonesia's 2019 election was billed as one of the most complicated single-day ballots ever undertaken. For the first time, the country held its presidential and legislative elections on the same day, with more than 245,000 candidates running for over 20,000 seats.

Some 193 million people were eligible to vote across the archipelago's 17,000 islands, and more than 800,000 polling stations and six million election workers were involved.

Six people are dead and more than 200 are injured, according to Jakarta’s governor, after mobs clashed with security forces

National Police spokesman Dedi Prasetyo said protests by supporters of an unsuccessful presidential candidate turned violent late on Tuesday and continued through the night. Police said they had arrested 20 “provocateurs”.

Jakarta governor Anies Baswedan said six people had died and 200 were injured in the violence.

KompasTV showed protesters throwing rocks, a paramilitary police dormitory on fire, and hundreds of riot police in a central neighbourhood of the city. One man reportedly died after sustaining a gunshot wound in the melee, according to Indonesian news website Tirto.com.

Prasetyo said police were checking on reports of casualties, but stressed that security officers on the ground, which include military personnel, were not equipped with live bullets.

Jakarta police spokesman Argo Yuwono said police used tear gas and water cannon against protesters who threw rocks, molotov cocktails and burning projectiles.

The capital has been on edge in recent days ahead of the official announcement of the April presidential election results, which on Tuesday confirmed that incumbent President Joko Widodo had won a second term, with 55.5% of the vote.

His opponent, fiery ex-special forces commander Prabowo Subianto has refused to accept the results, alleging the poll was marred by widespread fraud – a claim his team is yet to produce compelling evidence to support.

The opposition said on Tuesday they would contest the results in court, a repeat move of Prabowo’s unsuccessful bid for president in 2014.

In recent weeks key figures in the Prabowo camp have called for “people power” as a response to the electoral outcome, with at least two associated figures facing treason charges as a result.

More than 30,000 troops have been deployed to secure the Indonesian capital ahead of a planned protest, with some government offices and schools closed as a precaution.

A major commuter train station in the area was temporarily shut, while roads were blocked off in parts of the sprawling city. Some shopping malls, businesses and schools were also closed.

Tensions have been exacerbated by a string of recent arrests of terrorist suspects, who police say had planned to create chaos by bombing the post-election protests.

Police on Tuesday arrested a former general for allegedly smuggling weapons to the protest, while authorities confiscated Molotov cocktails from one minibus of Prabowo supporters traveling to the capital from Java.

As of Wednesday morning protestors had started to gather outside the elections supervisory agency building.

KPU names Jokowi winner of election

Bali & World News & Views Editors Comments:

  I am ecstatic over Jokowi"s win

Congratulations President Joko Widowo and Vice President Ma'ruf Amin. 

Winners of 2019 General Election
Joko Widowo and Vice President Ma'ruf Amin

Jokowi you have done a wonderful job during your first term. 

Indonesians have benefited immensely from your hard, unselfish work. 

We look forward to another term that achieves equal or better success. 

As I've always said "Indonesia is not a rising tiger. It is a roaring lion that has just been let out of its cage". 

There's no question in my mind under Jokowi's leadership through this next term Indonesia will become one of the top economic powers in the world.

The General Elections Commission (KPU) has officially declared President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo the winner of the April 17 presidential election after completing the national vote tally in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

The final tally showed that the Jokowi-Ma’ruf Amin pair secured 85 million votes (55.5 percent), while the Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno pair garnered 68 million votes (44.5 percent).

KPU head Arief Budiman said the losing candidate pair could challenge the election result at the Constitutional Court within three days of the official announcement of the vote tally.

If there is no legal challenge, the KPU will officially name Jokowi and Ma’ruf duly elected as president and vice president for the 2019-2024 period on Friday, Arief said.

The Prabowo camp has said it will not accept the election results citing what they claimed was “structural, systemic and massive” vote-rigging. On Monday, the Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) rejected their report of election fraud, saying the Prabowo camp had failed to provide solid evidence.

Gerindra Party politician Fadli Zon has said the Prabowo camp will not bring the election dispute to the Constitutional Court, which he said would be “pointless”. Many of Prabowo’s staunchest supporters, however, have said they will take to the streets to protest the election results, fueling fears of possible violence.

For the second day, the President of Indonesia Jokowi has visited Bali including the Bandung marketplace.

I must say he has lots of courage. If it was me I would be laying really low right now until after the May 22 final results of the election as they have detected sophisticated bombing plots in Jakarta.

Bali's Komune club hosts Corona International surf competition and environmental workshop - Introducing Nevhouses

Bali and world news and views editor's comments:

This past Wednesday my wife, family and I were invited to a VIP function at the famous Komune Beach Club about 3 KM up the beach from us at Bali Paradise Beach Estates.

Prior to the event, I ran across an article regarding Homes that were created completely from plastic trash off the beaches.

Since I live on the beach and have lived in Bali for 22 years and prior to that Hawaii for 18 years, I was very interested in seeing this product and whether I could be of any assistance in helping to make this happen.

This VIP event was in combination with the Corona Bali Protected International surf competition being held all this week.

 We went to the VIP event primarily to see the presentation on the Nevhouse and see a House fully erected. 

Unfortunately several of his panels got caught up in customs and did not arrive in time but we did view the product and it appears to be strong. In fact it can withstand class V cyclones, if built properly.

 Prior to the event, I  meet with the owner Nev Hyman.

Nev Hyman Azizah and I 

 He showed me what I considered to be very strong structural wall panels, roofing and even floor panels all made from reprocessed beach trash.

They are seeking to set up a company and a factory on Bali or Java to process beach trash and recycle it into Nev Homes.

My recommendation was to go to Java to set up factory because there they would be able to collect the trash before it even gets to the rivers. A high percentage of Bali's plastic beach trash comes from rivers from Java.

Since they don't have any government organized collection systems in the poor villages they throw their garbage in the river. Out of sight out of mind.

As the world is discovering, plastic could be the end of all of us. 

Huge mammals such as dolphins and whales are washing up daily around the world with vast amounts of plastic in their stomachs. 
We must realize that it's time to do take a stance.

As Nev Nev pointed out you can't stop plastic. 

Plastic may increase 50% in the coming years so it's better to find a way of preventing it from reaching the oceans and if it does collect it and use it.

More information on Nevhouses below.

All sales enquiries: nathan.bosch@nevhouse.com

Later we enjoyed a nice dinner at the Komune and watched the presentation by several environmentalists including the former Executive Vice President of iPad a gentleman who has over 300 patents to his name.  

He spoke about how he has moved to Bali recently and is involved in environmental cleanup.

 Tony Cannon, Co-Owner of the Komune Resort also spoke about how difficult it is to keep trash off the beaches and why a usage for the trash such as Nev Houses or a plastic motorcycle he built can create a demand that would help clean up the beaches and the ocean. 

Tony Canon with Nev Hyman

 

 

Azizah with our son Darius

Our son Xander who just turned 15.

 It was a lovely evening.

Our boys enjoyed wandering around especially since  Komune had their surf night lights on for the Corona surf competition being held here all this week.

Unfortunately, the waves were not up on the 15th but are expected to be up this weekend.

Information On Nev Houses

 NevHouse, we create pre-fabricated homes, school class rooms, medical clinics and other community structures from recycled materials. NevHouse is not a product - it's a holistic solution that delivers light, shelter, clean water and sanitation to those who need it the most.
NevHouse ... 

Summary

Having never had a “real” job, my career from day one has been to embrace that innate entrepreneurial spirit, turn on that opportunity radar, see what comes my way. 

I established 3 surfboard brands of which I am very proud, from Odyssey surfboards (1973 – 1977) Western Australia, to Nev Future Shapes in Queensland 1978 to 2006 which then evolved into the globally renown Firewire Surfboards. 

To compliment the Nev surfboard range I also established Nev Japan, as an apparel, shoes and accessories company, and was instrumental in the development of CAD-CAM computer surfboard design and manufacturing, APS3000 / AKU Shaper which is now Industry Standard amongst surfboard designers worldwide. 

Strangely, I have 2 Guinness World records for the largest surfboard ever built and for the most surfers riding on a wave on one surfboard, (47 in Queensland and 60 in California, 2005).

Recently, due to my life in and around the ocean and sincere passion for the environment, I took an interest in recycling waste plastic, the scourge of the seas. The result is that I am founding partner of Nev House Pty ltd, an Australian based company that creates flatpack houses from a unique compound made from waste plastic and recycled woods, with the aim to replace slums with hygienic, long lasting low cost houses that can be erected and dismantled in 2-4 days.

The vote was cast by 300 esteemed dignitaries and industry leaders from around the world, each had received a personal invitation to come to St James Palace in London to watch the best of the best deliver a 3 minute pitch, and after watching every pitch - to cast their vote. 

A huge thanks from NevHouse to HRH Prince Andrew, the Duke of York for providing NevHouse with validation and a global network of credible contacts.
