Bali Police Admit Presence of
Many Illegal Big Bikes in Bali.
The recent seizure of two
large motorcycles by the Bali
police for lacking the proper
import, tax and road certificates
has reawakened the long-
simmering controversy regarding
police collusion in support of the
illegal operation of large two-
wheel vehicles on Bali's
roadways.
Beritabali.com reports that
the two motorcycles with a value of
hundreds of millions of rupiahs
were seized in an area close to
Bali's traffic police headquarters.
One of the large
motorcycles was driven by Eka
Sukmana from Mengwi, Bali. The
second seized bike was a Suzuki

An unnamed source told
Beritabali.com that the second bike
was caught traveling on Jalan
Gunung Sanghyang.
Curiously, both bikes were
seized on December 17, 2009, but
the case only came to the attention
of the press on April 6, 2010.
A c c o r d i n g t o
Beritabali.com, police officers
contacted by them refused to
comment on the case. When Wahyu
Tri Cahyono, a ranking officer at the
Bali Traffic Police office was
contacted he declared he was not
handling the case, insisting his
office was only involved in matters
related to driver licenses. According
to Cahyoo, vehicle documents are
handled by the vehicle registration
office Samsat.
Meanwhile Agus Sugianto
of the Bali Police insisted that the
two vehicles were not in police
custody.
A c c o r d i n g t o
Beritabali.com, the current case
offers proof once again that
unregistered large motorcycles
continues to be major problem in
Bali, with an estimated 90% of large
bikes presumed to be illegal. Past
press reports have alleged official
police involvement in the
motorcyclist associations which
"sponsors" temporary licensing
arrangements for the illegal
vehicles.
In a separate article in the
same media, the chief of the Bali
Traffic Police, Gede Alit Widana,
admitted to the press on April 8,

Widana said his office is
processing the case of the two
seized bikes which is still under
investigation. "After our
investigation at the criminal

underlines alleged irregularities
in the police investigation and

lack of a video record of her

HEAVEN or HELL.........
While walking down the street one day a "Member
of Parliament" is tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at
the entrance.
'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter. 'Before you
settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see
a high official around these parts, you see, so we're
not sure what to do with you.'
'No problem, just let me in,' says the man.
'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up.
What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and
one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend
eternity.'
'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in
heaven,' says the MP.
'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.'
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator
and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors
open and he finds himself in the middle of a green
golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and
standing in front of it are all his friends and other
politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They
run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce
about the good times they had while getting rich at
the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on
lobster, caviar and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly
& nice guy who has a good time dancing and telling
jokes. They are having such a good time that before
he realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves
while the elevator rises....
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens
on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.
'Now it's time to visit heaven.'
So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group of
contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing
the harp and singing. They have a good time and,
before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and
St. Peter returns.
'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another
in heaven. Now choose your eternity.'
The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers: 'Well,
I would never have said it before, I mean heaven
has been delightful, but I think I would be better
off in hell.'
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes
down, down, down to hell.
Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the
middle of a barren land covered with waste and
garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the
trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls
from above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around
his shoulder. 'I don't understand,' stammers the MP.
'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and
clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank
champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now
there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my
friends look miserable.
What happened?'
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, 'Yesterday we
were campaigning.. ...
Today you voted.'
AFTERLIFE...........
A couple made a deal that whoever died first
would try to come back and inform the other of
the afterlife. Their biggest fear was that there
was no afterlife. After a long life, the husband
was the first to go and, true to his word, he made
contact:
“Mary . . Mary . ...."
"Is that you, Fred?"
"Yes, I've come back like we agreed."
"What's it like?"
"Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have
breakfast, off to the golf course, I have sex. Then
I sunbathe and have sex twice. I have lunch,
another romp around the golf course, then sex
pretty much all afternoon. After supper, golf
course again. Then sex until late at night. The
next day it starts again"
"Oh, Fred you surely must be in heaven.
"Not exactly. I'm a rabbit on a golf course in
Arizona .”

Licuria was fined $3000 for

The fines completed an

Monday in which the Collingwood

into AFL headquarters to give
evidence.
AFL football operations
general manager Adrian

language that was “highly

unacceptable for a senior coach to

“This conduct creates a

“This is not the right

“Michael recognises his

Anderson said Licuria's
language had the potential to
escalate the situation, while
Milne was “aggressive and
insulting” to both Collingwood
coaches.
“Milne used language
towards Licuria that was
homophobic and unacceptable,”
Anderson said.
“Milne's public apology

Mick's fury at liar tag GIDLEY THE KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR

COLLINGWOOD coach Mick
Malthouse has vigorously
defended himself and his
post-match comments
regarding a quarter-time
altercation with St Kilda player
Stephen Milne during Friday
night's match at Etihad
Stadium.
After the game,
Malthouse denied having words
with any St Kilda player saying
instead he was warning his own
players not to become involved
in a fracas.
It was later revealed that
Malthouse abused Milne during
the break. He was fined $7,500
for the incident and issued an
apology to the player, which was
accepted by Milne and St Kilda.

Collingwood assistant
coach Paul Licuria and Milne were
also fined.
Malthouse has copped
some heavy criticism over his
handling of the incident, in
particular for his post-match
denial that anything untoward took
place.
But the coach, via a letter
published on the Collingwood
website, has taken umbrage at
being called dishonest and
explained why he chose to avoid
the matter when speaking to the
media after the match.
"I strenuously object to
being branded a liar," the letter
reads.

"I've been involved in the
game for over four decades and
have always had the best
interests of the game at heart,
and will continue to do so."

manager Adrian Anderson said
Malthouse's actions helped
create a volatile situation on the
ground and stressed that it set a
poor example for coaches at the
