Donate to my Mo, save a Mo Bro

Travel safe in Bali - Travel insurance from Worldnomads.com  

For those non-Australians on my mailing list, this is a tradition in Australia each November and a humorous way to draw attention to a very serious matter for us menfolk...prostate cancer.  The below is from Mr Paul Hutson, who heads up Quiksilver in SEA, and is certainly worthy of all our attention and participation. 

Hello my friends,

It's Movember and time to focus on men's health. To show my commitment, I'm donating my face to the cause by growing a moustache for the entire month of November, and need your support. My Mo will spark conversations, and no doubt generate some laughs; all in the name of raising vital awareness and funds for prostate cancer and male mental health.

Why am I so passionate about men's health?

*1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime

*This year 20,000 new cases of the disease will be diagnosed

*1 in 8 men will experience depression in their lifetime

I'm asking you to support my Movember efforts by making a donation by either:

*Donating online at: http://mobro.co/HUTTY

*Writing a cheque payable to 'Movember', referencing my Registration ID: 1731140 and mailing it to: Movember, PO Box 60, East Melbourne, VIC, 8002

If you'd like to find out more about the type of work you'd be helping to fund by supporting Movember, take a look at the Programs We Fund section on the Movember website: http://au.movember.com/about/funding-overview/

Thank you in advance for supporting my efforts to change the face of men's health.

Quiksilver Indonesia and Coca-Cola Amatil Indonesia Receive Partnership Awards from Bali Lifeguards at 40th Birthday Party

31 October 2012, Kuta-Bali:  On Sunday evening October 28th at Kuta Beach during the 40th anniversary celebration party of the Badung Lifeguard’s formation, Febrie Ardianto from Quiksilver Indonesia and Geri Centura from Coca-Cola Amatil Indonesia accepted Balawista Life Saver Partner awards from Badung Lifeguard Coordinator I Ketut Ipel S.H., as well as handed over new uniforms to the lifeguard team.

“We are so very appreciative of all the support we have received from Quiksilver and Coca-Cola Amatil Indonesia over the last few years,” said Ipel.  “Their continued commitment to helping us keep the beaches of Bali safe makes our job easier, and means we can do more.  Thanks so much, Quikilver and Coca-Cola Amatil Indonesia.”

Quiksilver Indonesia and Coca-Cola Amatil Indonesia have been supporting the Badung Lifeguard Department (Balawista Badung) for the last four years, who are now 218 lifeguards strong and on Sunday celebrated their 40thanniversary with a day of competition rounded out by an awards ceremonyattended by many of the original founding members from Australia and Bali.

Together, Quiksilver and Coca-Cola Amatil provide the Badung Lifeguards with uniforms and gear each year that allow them to do their jobs efficiently and effectively, with a retail value of some Rp 500 million (almost $50,000 USD).

“We’re very proud to have this great group of lifesavers wearing our gear like the lifesavers of Australia do also; in particular our board-shorts which is Quiksilver's heritage,  said Quiksilver SEA CEO Paul Hutson, speaking on behalf of Quiksilver and Coca-Cola Amatil.  “The job they do and the responsibility they have are great, so we want to support them as much as we can.  Quiksilver and Coca-Cola Amatil here in Bali and around Indonesia are making the effort to keep the beaches both clean and safe, and I hope other businesses and residents can follow our lead as it benefits not just the tourist sector but the local population as well.”

Bali quiet leading up to Idul Fitri

Bali is quiet now after most of the Javanese have gone home for Idul Fitri. Its actually very nice. Nothing against people form Java, its just there are way too many of them in Bali. The roads are a total nightmare 6 days a weeks these days with motorbikes and trucks. Since mudic (transit for Idul Fitri) streets have been much quieter. Its actually possible to drive from the top of the Sunset Rd all the way along Jl. Raya Kerobokan without stopping, how wild is that!

This week will see the arrival of Chinese from Java who bring their families and SUV's. These good natured holiday makers bring Kuta to a standstill. Anyway for the next week or so we can expect quieter streets outside of the Kuta area.

Married expats - permanent residence and right to work

 The Indonesian government has passed a revised Immigration Law that allows expats married to Indonesian citizens permanent residence and the right to seek employment.

This news seems almost unbelievable to those expats who have lived in Indonesia for a while. Up until now those foreigners married to locals had to apply for visas overseas as well as visa extensions once back in Indonesia, with no right to work. This new law wipes all that away and creates a climate of positivity in which expats can live and work as civilized people rather than criminals on probation.
