JAKARTA - The head of the Bali Province Ombudsman, Sri Widhiyanti, advised the public to report the petition from the Canggu community, Badung Regency, which complained about noise, in the tourist area by utilizing the official SP4N LAPOR channel.

"We regret the attitude of the people who immediately went viral in the tourist area in Canggu without reporting first through the channels provided by the local government," he said, in Denpasar, quoted from Antara, Saturday, September 17.

They submitted the advice in response to a petition entitled "Basmi Pollusi Suara in Canggu" or "End Extreme Noise in Canggu" which circulated through the Change.org website.

According to him, the People's Online Aspiration and Complaints Complaint Management System (SP4N LAPOR) can be one of the solutions for the community in submitting complaints or complaints that must be followed up by the government.

"The SP4N LAPOR is online, people can use it, later it will be submitted to the relevant agencies. Even though it is a door and provincial authority, it will definitely be submitted to the government," he said.

He admitted that the Bali Ombudsman wanted to provide education to the public to use the official complaint channel that had been prepared by the government. Although the complaint does not receive a follow-up, the public can try by continuing to report it to other agencies.

"The Ombudsman himself is more about things that can provide solutions so that everything can run according to standard procedures. If you want to report to the Ombudsman, we have reported it to the relevant agencies as much as possible, first, then to us," he told the media.

He hopes that with tourism in Bali, people will understand the conditions, but still take advantage of existing regulations.

The Bali Ombudsman himself saw a petition entitled Voting Possation Basmi in Canggu circulating on the Change.org website as a complaint that the government must follow up on.

In a petition written by a person named P. Dian, it was stated that people around the bar area and the beach club claimed to be disturbed by noise at night.

The petition was addressed to President Jokowi, the ranks of ministries, governors, and regional agencies related to the number of signatures of support to date 8,503 people.
