Recently, the terms \u2018Reclamation\u2019 and \u2018Revitalization\u2019 are often heard in Bali. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The word \u2018Reclamation\u2019 is becoming popular since the planned reclamation project of Benoa Bay featured in mass media in 2012. Since then, it has brought pro and con, and it became a hot topic in every discussion in bale banjars (meeting halls) in all parts of Bali.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The protest against the project can be seen in big signs in the town or village corners. On the other hand, some people tried to show their support to the project, by making signs as well. But instead of using the word \u2018reclamation\u2019, they use the word \u2018revitalization\u2019 and they put signs as well, especially in some town corners.<\/p>\n

The Balinese were confused. They who were against the project, then turn to support. But there are some people who are consistent in against the project. Pro and con keep going. According to the parties who are against the project, \u2018revitalization\u2019 is only to hide the \u2018the reclamation plan\u2019 as they will keep filling the bay. On the other hand, the ones who agree with the project say that \u2018revitalization\u2019 is good for economy.<\/p>\n

Reclamation and revitalization become new term and strange for the Balinese. According to Main Indonesian Dictionary, \u2018reklamasi\u2019 (reclamation) means a work or effort to develop unused or dry area to be a productive area by drying it. On the other hand, \u2018revitalisasi\u2019 means a process, an effort to revitalize an area.<\/p>\n

As the term \u2018reklamasi\u2019 becomes controversial, then they change the issue by changing the term to \u2018revitalisasi\u2019. It happens that the government or the related parties play with words to achieve their goals. Another example of this is when they use the words \u2018the raising price of oil\u2019 to \u2018price adjustment of oil. Other example is when the businessmen use the term \u2018dirumahkan\u2019 (rest at home) when they fire their workers.<\/p>\n

\u2018Euphuism\u2019 applied by the government has proved very effective in cooling down any opposition against the raising of oil price. It is similar what the businessmen do to when they fire their workers. However, when condition in the community has changed as people are more and more educated, euphuism doesn\u2019t work anymore. The people become understand that behind the \u2018polished; it will be the same in implementation. From the example above, euphuism is not more than just a trick in achieving a goal.<\/p>\n

We clearly can see that \u2018euphuism\u2019 is being used in the word \u2018reklamasi\u2019 and \u2018revitalisasi\u2019. When \u2018reklamasi\u2019 is strongly opposed, they use the word \u2018revitalisasi\u2019 which give impression of \u2018empowerment\u2019 without ruining the environment, economically it will give benefit. Of course they want to receive a kind of approval. But when they say \u2018revitalisasi\u2019, but in the implementation they diminish the mangroves, ruin the sea biota life, then what it is difference from \u2018reklamasi\u2019? What a dirty trick.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
