ANNOUNCEMENT of Natural Disaster in Bali & Lombok
Dear
Partners and Students,
It
is very much understood that the news about earthquake occurred recently in
Lombok, an island next to Bali, broadcasted widely throughout the world, made
many people worried and wonder the impact caused by the tremors in the islands,
especially Bali.
It
is true that the tremors had
impact in Bali especially in the eastern part of Bali (approximately 76 km away
from Denpasar), however it is
reported that the damaged is not as it was said as in the news. It
was estimated that there were not more than two people killed because of the collapsed wall of the old houses. Lombok island and Bali is seperated by Lombok strait.
For
the time being, we can assure you
that the situation and condition are going well in
Bali. Business is as usual. People
do their everyday activities normally. Airport and harbors are busy with the
people come and go. Bali is very safe to visit and stay. Natural disaster can
happen anywhere and at anytime. What we can do is pray and hope that everything
is going fine ahead.
