Acting Governor of Bali Sang Made Mahendra Jaya said the local provincial government would take firm action against the actions of dancers who performed the dance of Joget Bumbung association with pornographic movements.

"We will take firm action in addition to making appeals. It is working together, we hope it will not happen again," said the Made on the sidelines of attending the Bali Provincial DPRD Plenary Meeting in Denpasar, reported by ANTARA, Monday, April 22.

According to him, Joget porno is not good to look at and there should be no word of resignation in taking firm action against the behavior of the person who has damaged the image of one of the Balinese dances.

"We are optimistic that it can be because the local wisdom of the Balinese people is extraordinary. The community is also obedient, we just urge that it is not good to look at. Appeals and firm action," he said.

A similar view was conveyed by the Chairman of the Bali Provincial DPRD Nyoman Adi Wiryatama who hoped that the local government could take firm action against the actions of Joged Bumbung porn dancers.

"In addition, the security forces must take firm action according to the applicable regulations," he said while hoping that indigenous peoples should not perform pornographic dances.

Adi Wiryatama also regrets that there have been video recordings that have recently gone viral, which shows a stakeholder (religious figure) mediating Joged dancers with pornographic movements

In the video that has been widely circulated, it can be seen that the pemangku "climbing" is wearing all white clothes complete with a neg or destar (headband). Sadly, the indecent action was witnessed by the children.

Previously, the Bali Provincial Culture Service stated that it was studying to bring Joged Bumbung porn dancers to legal channels. In fact, since the last few years the Bali Provincial Government has deployed various ways to stop the destruction of this culture.

"We have carried out persuasive and normative efforts with Paiketan Krama Bali for a long time. Therefore, we are currently reviewing one way that is most likely to eradicate it by bringing it to the realm of law," said Head of Bali's Department of Education and Culture Gede Arya Sugiartha.
