Bali Millis Preview and Information: RE: [bali-bali] FW: Hyatt Bali

Anton,

We may all realized by now that any efforts by Forum will be a side room efforts, it will never be given any thoughts or consideration because it is not in the system as yet. I don't mean that we have to stop forming a Forum of such, but we need to be more consistent and consistency need a more 'formal' forum such as Parum Samigita in the past. We have at one time tried to form a forum of Bali Open Society, but nothing is going on up to now, although I think that this common idea forum will start as an entry to deal with such matters in concerning with the 'public' policy. Forum ini bisa menyikapi dan menanggapi banyak hal melalui kolaborasi semua orang peduli termasuk NGOs, individual, kelompok, MASYARAKAT etc. Karena itu harus dibentuk dan berdiri secara 'neutral' Nah kalau Forum Bali Peduli Bumi ini kemudian akan dipakai sebagai common idea Forum, maka dibuat saja pernyataan pernyataan berdasarkan fakta fakta dilapangan, evenmore with some picutres included and more specific to the masalah, kita bisa kirimkan kesemua pihak, Province, Region, Camat dimana kasus itu ada, terus ke Departemen2 terkait, terus melalui media juga.

Semacam People Power lah, tapi lebih ke perbaikan wilayah dan menyangkut Undang Undang dasar dan Peraturan Daerah.

Kalau sehubungan dengan persons, kita juga nggak bisa paksa kalau persons nya hubungannya seperti minyak dan air; kalau Cuma air dengan air keruh, air bersih, air bening, air bau... sih masih bisa saja... jadi menurut pendapatku each person boleh kritik, mengeluh, atau menulis sekaligus... itu kemudian di kumpulkan semua dan dibuat pernyataan yang di kirim kepada pihak terkait, terutama the decision makers. Jangan lupa libatkan masyarakatnya, jadi nggak bisa cuma NGOs sama aktifis aja; masyarakat juga bicara; kalau yang kelihatan cuma si Viebeke, si Antonio, si Yuyun, ... Cuma di liat sebelah mata aja.... tapi kalau Masyarakat Banjar X atau Desa X atau Dusun X dengan petisinya lengkap.... wah itu namanya people's power efforts.

Ini perlu untuk di bangun, persepsi sama, karena kita khusus Bali umum Indonesia, masih kental dengan kepentingan pribadi, kelompok, terutama partai (karena disini ada uangnya), jadi kalau masalahnya bisa dibuat menjadi masalah bersama dengan dampak yang akan dirasakan bersama secara social, ekonomi dan kerusakan lingkungan.... kita bisa kirim surat sampai ke PBB (kan kita juga termasuk di dalamnya); apalagi dengan technology informasi seperti sekarang ini.... wah baru kita liat nyanyian jadi kenyataan atau sebaliknya : 'ORANG BILANG TANAH KITA TANAH SURGA, TONGKAT DAN BATU BISA JADI TANAMAN......'

RTRW di Bali terutama perlu menjadi perhatian kita bersama.... use the people's power mechanism, Yuyun bisa buat surat atas namanya atau Bali Fokus, she is great locally and Nationally...

We need to build close relation to BAPPENAS or those guys in Jakarta, you have all the connection with the orang Pusat kan, we need to press the local decision makers to be more receptive to the problem of the community.

Attached is the TOR of BOS

Salam, vieb

Anton,

This one needs our common monitoring efforts, Walhi would be the leading team (i suggest) or may ask Yuyun or GUS to just do the monitoring and go to the GM and ask for further information in regard to the remedial action plan and the schedule of realization.

We can do pressure by keeping email them.

Ingetin aja terus....

Dear Vieb,

Kayanya surat tanggapan nya juga sama untuk semua kita kita yang nulis. Pinter juga penangkisnya.... Kita copy paste, dia tinggal change name, he he he.. Siasat high teck.

Let us see what really are they doing about this ? They need to give expedient report of what immediate remedial action they plan to do? Who is to judge whether they have complied with the eco standards?

Salam

Antonio

Subject	Shame on you Hyatt!

Dear Hyatt Corporate Management,

We are a group of concerned individuals (residents - Indonesian & expat, tourism workers, ngo workers, businesses, tourists, surfers, students and children) that are frustrated with the destruction of Bali's environment and the lack of environmental law enforcement and corporate social responsibility.

We want to inform you that the Hyatt is in gross violation of not just your own Hyatt environmental/sustainability policies and local Indonesian laws, but are also putting the health of your own guests at risk. Hyatt management has over the years exploited the lack of local environmental law enforcement and knowingly illegally disposed of its wastes and other dangerous residue and subjugated the community to this pollution (photos attached). This should be of grave concern to the Hyatt since it not only ultimately harms the future prospects of your business but also exposes Hyatt to legal liability and bad press back in the home countries of your concerned guests. It is unbelievable in this day in age that Hyatt acts in this manner; it is 2009, not 1809!! Wake up!!

We insist and will continue to insist through letters, emails and other means (iReports, Youtube, travel blogs and website reviews, and journalists) that Hyatt abide by your own internal environmental/sustainability policy as well as local laws. We hope you take this matter very seriously, as we do.

Respectfully Yours,

Friends of Bali
