Losses in Bali Reach 6.8 Billion IDR Bali police are currently investigating a suspected gold trading fraud case. So far, **23 people** have claimed to be victims of PT New Emas Now, with total losses estimated at **6.8 billion IDR**. One victim filed a police report in Bali on September 11, and the case is still under investigation. This news is not directly related to regular tourists, but it’s worth noting for **foreigners living in Bali, investors, and long-term residents**. Especially in recent years, Bali has seen a rise in investment, real estate, cryptocurrency, and various ‘high-return’ schemes. Watch out for: **‘Guaranteed Profits’** **‘Fixed High Returns’** **‘Low-Risk Investments’** These words really need a pause. --- ## 🔥 Two Buildings Burned Down in Denpasar! Suspected Fireworks Explosion Sparks Blaze A fire incident occurred in Denpasar today. According to detikBali, an explosion linked to **fireworks (kembang api)** activities inside a local building resulted in **two structures being burned down**. Firefighters arrived at the scene to handle the situation, and the cause of the fire is still under police investigation. This type of news has little direct impact on most travelers, but if you’re staying in downtown Denpasar or have recently passed through the area, keep an eye on local traffic and on-site restrictions. --- ## 🐒 Monkey ‘Attacks’ on Villagers in Klungkung! Residents Complain of Soaring Monkey Population Klungkung also saw a peculiar local news story today: **A surge in the monkey population is causing trouble for residents.** Villagers in Nyalian report that monkeys have been frequently entering homes and the village, chasing people, snatching food, and damaging property, leading to growing safety concerns. Local authorities and relevant agencies are assessing how to handle the monkey population. While this news has limited impact on most tourists, if you’re planning a trip to inland Bali, temples, or forested areas in the near future, here’s a reminder: **Do not actively feed the monkeys, and don’t hold food in your hands to tease them.** Bali’s monkeys may look cute, but they don’t always see tourists as friends. --- ## 💧 Water Shortage in Senggigi, Lombok Lasts Over a Month! Tourists and Businesses Forced to Buy Water Although this news comes from Lombok, Senggigi is a popular island destination that many Bali travelers also visit, making it worth including in today’s travel updates. The Senggigi tourist area is currently facing a severe water supply issue, with PDAM tap water in some areas **not flowing normally for about a month**. Local businesses and residents are forced to buy bottled water, and some shop owners say that only a small amount of tap water trickles out late at night. If you’re planning a trip soon: **Bali → Lombok → Senggigi** It’s best to ask the hotel directly before booking: **“Is the tap water in the room currently normal?”** Especially for travelers who need long showers, plan to use the pool, or are traveling with children, this question is more practical than asking about ocean views.
