If you don't accept us to be the state administrators," he said., the chairman of the Bali DPRD Nyoman Adi Wiryatama previously said that the student proposed by the Council to be able to attend public schools is a proposal instead of a deposit. "It's just a proposal," he said. The former Tabanan Regent also said that the form of the proposal is not a determination or rations such as the current growing issue. "It was proposed that the form, the proposal is not a determination, the no deposit, no rations, no friends' proposals (DPRD), often friends proposed," he said.
