LaNyalla Conveys Condolences To The Lost Homecomers Using Canoes To Navigate The Bali Strait, The Motive Must Be Examined

JAKARTA - The chairman of the DPD RI, AA LaNyalla Mahmud Mattalitti, expressed his condolences to the travelers who used canoes to navigate the Bali Strait. On the way, a traveler was thrown and has not been found until now.

These five travelers departed from Bali for Banyuwangi, East Java. LaNyalla asked the relevant parties to investigate the motives of the travelers using canoes whose safety was not guaranteed.

"First, of course, I convey my deepest condolences for this. Second, I request that the motives of the five travelers for daring to use a canoe across the Bali Strait to be investigated. What is the real motive behind their reckless action," said LaNyalla, Thursday, May 5.

The senator from East Java regretted the reckless actions of the five travelers. According to him, this reckless action actually did not need to happen.

However, I don't know what was behind their reckless action, so they chose to use a canoe to cross to Banyuwangi instead of using a motorboat from Gilimanuk Harbor to Ketapang Harbor.

"I think this problem needs serious attention. Because we don't know what their motives are, so they are desperate to use the canoe," he said, in a press statement received by VOI.

LaNyalla assessed that there were several possible reckless actions they took, one of which was motivated by economic factors. Apart from economic factors, travel requirements are also highlighted.

"I suspect this could have happened due to economic factors. But it could also be due to other factors. Are there policies or requirements that are burdensome for them when using Ferries and others, this must also be investigated. This is not just an accident," said LaNyalla.

At the same time, LaNyalla asked the SAR Team to continue to coordinate with other parties, both from the fishermen and also other communities that have activities on the coast related to the search for victims so that they can be found immediately.

"To the families of the victims, I express my condolences and I hope they will be given courage," hoped LaNyalla.

The SAR team is currently conducting a search on the 7th day, since the disappearance of 41-year-old Hermanto, a resident of Ketapang Lampu, Pengambengan Village, Negara Jembrana District in the waters of Jembrana, Bali. The team conducted sweeps on land or along the coast of Jembrana.

The distance is at least four kilometers which was combed by the team. The search team itself consists of the SAR, the Jembrana search and rescue post, and the Indonesian Navy.
