BALINEWSID.COM, JEMBRANA — A surprise inspection conducted by the Special Committee on Spatial Planning, Assets, and Licensing (Pansus TRAP) of the Bali Provincial DPRD at the Budeng Village Office in Jembrana on Wednesday revealed a series of serious issues linked to an alleged mangrove land swap involving the BTID area. April 22, 2026.

Pansus TRAP member I Nyoman Oka Antara said there were significant discrepancies between administrative records and field findings. Of the 35 land certificates recorded, only 15 certificates, covering დაახლოებით 18 hectares, have been successfully traced.

“This means many are still unaccounted for. Even those already identified are still problematic,” he stated.

Oka Antara explained that a land swap process should only be carried out if the land involved has valid certificates under the name of the transacting party, in this case the company. However, findings on the ground suggest that this requirement may not have been met.

“The land should already be certified under PT BTID before any exchange takes place. If not, it clearly indicates a problem,” he said.

Beyond legal concerns, the committee also highlighted stark disparities in land value exchanges. Based on findings, land prices in areas such as Karangasem range between Rp800,000 and Rp2.5 million per are, while in the BTID area prices reportedly reach Rp1 billion to Rp1.5 billion per are.

“This is highly disproportionate. One are in BTID could be equivalent to one hectare in other regions. This raises serious concerns,” he added.

He also stressed that BTID must be able to present all ownership documents, including approximately 20 other certificates that have yet to be verified.

“If they cannot produce them, this could indicate irregularities, possibly even involving state land. This must be fully disclosed,” he asserted.

In light of these findings, Pansus TRAP has called for firm action, including the temporary suspension of all BTID activities until the legality and documentation can be clearly verified.

“We must halt all BTID activities for now, until they can present complete and accurate documents. If not stopped, this issue will never be resolved,” Oka Antara emphasized.

He further urged authorities to act swiftly to prevent potential wider violations.

“If possible, operations should be stopped immediately. No activities should continue until everything is clear and compliant with the law,” he added.

The inspection signals a strong stance from the Bali DPRD through Pansus TRAP, underscoring that alleged irregularities in asset management and spatial planning—particularly in sensitive areas such as mangroves—will not be tolerated.

The committee reaffirmed its commitment to oversee the case until it is fully resolved, while pushing for full transparency from all parties involved to safeguard public and state interests.
