REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, DENPASAR – Bali Regional House of Representative plans to relocate provincial capital, from Denpasar to Karangasem regency. This idea gets positive response from Karangasem residents.

"We are awaiting the realization," a resident of Karangasem, Ali Husein said on Thursday.

Relocation of provincial capital to Karangasem will positively impact to economic development. It can balance development between western and eastern Bali, as well as north and south.

A member of Regional House of Representative, Gde Sumarjaya Linggih, earlier proposed Bali provincial capital to be relocated to Kubu district in Karangasem regency. Kubu is located in north of Karangasem, at the border to Buleleng regency. Kubu village is laid at foot of Mount Agung.

Governor of Bali, Made Mangku Pastika praised the relocation idea as positive and must put it under consideration since Denpasar is too crowded.

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْ حَاۤجَّ اِبْرٰهٖمَ فِيْ رَبِّهٖٓ اَنْ اٰتٰىهُ اللّٰهُ الْمُلْكَ ۘ اِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰهٖمُ رَبِّيَ الَّذِيْ يُحْيٖ وَيُمِيْتُۙ قَالَ اَنَا۠ اُحْيٖ وَاُمِيْتُ ۗ قَالَ اِبْرٰهٖمُ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَأْتِيْ بِالشَّمْسِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَأْتِ بِهَا مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَبُهِتَ الَّذِيْ كَفَرَ ۗوَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَۚ
Tidakkah kamu memperhatikan orang yang mendebat Ibrahim mengenai Tuhannya, karena Allah telah memberinya kerajaan (kekuasaan). Ketika Ibrahim berkata, “Tuhanku ialah Yang menghidupkan dan mematikan,” dia berkata, “Aku pun dapat menghidupkan dan mematikan.” Ibrahim berkata, “Allah menerbitkan matahari dari timur, maka terbitkanlah ia dari barat.” Maka bingunglah orang yang kafir itu. Allah tidak memberi petunjuk kepada orang-orang zalim.

(QS. Al-Baqarah ayat 258)
