JAKARTA – Bali governor Wayan Koster urged students in Bali to prioritise watching local films and cartoons instead of the Malaysian show, Upin & Ipin, local media reported.

He said this in a speech at the award ceremony of the film essay contest, held at the hall of the Bali Provincial Legislative Council recently.

“Young people usually enjoy watching, what animation comes from Malaysia, right? Yes, Upin & Ipin. Let’s not watch that anymore… It’s better to support films that focus on our traditions and culture.”

Upin & Ipin is an animated series with educational and cultural aspects, gaining popularity in Malaysia and Southeast Asian countries.

Wayan also emphasised that it is crucial to safeguard Bali’s culture despite technological advancements and modernisation.

Bali has a diverse population and its cultural identity is closely linked to Hindu-Balinese beliefs. – August 19, 2023
