Bali is struggling to find a way of removing half-naked men who are painted silver from its major streets.
Yes, you read that right.
It's a serious story in the latest edition of Bali Update, the valuable guide to what is happening on the resort island.
Under the headline "Bali Ponders Ways to Remove 'Silver Men' from Denpasar Streets", he newsletter reports the Denpasar Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) is "overwhelmed by large hordes of young men, typically wearing only shorts, whose half-naked bodies are lathered with silver paint, who stand at busy intersections in Denpasar, Bali, holding tin canisters asking passing motorists for “donations”."
Authorities are apparently involved in a cycle of apprehending the “silver men” who are taken to a nearby location, given soap and water, and ordered to scrub off the silver paint.
A short time later, the men have repainted their skins and are back on the street.
Quoted by NusaBali, the head of Denpasar City Satpol PP, AA Ngurah Nendra, said his agency is "in the field apprehending violators who disturb public order. Once apprehended, these social violations should be referred to the city or provincial Social Services for guidance.”
