The Mission of Balai Bahasa Indonesia Perth (Inc) is to provide Indonesian culture and language education to assist Australians and Indonesians to interact more effectively. We endeavour to increase activities and bonds between individuals, businesses, communities and institutions in order to develop a more effective Indonesia Australia relationship at all levels. The Balai Bahasa will strive to foster a positive attitude amongst the people of our two countries.

Balai Bahasa Indonesia Perth (Inc) is a not-for-profit managed by a voluntary Board elected at our Annual General Meeting every February.

Our Members, including our Board Members, are made up of people from all walks of life and professions. However, they do all have one thing in common – a passion for Indonesian culture, language, people and a desire to promote closer ties and better understandings between Australians and Indonesians.

]]> Majulah IKN! https://classic.balaibahasaperth.org/uncategorized-en/majulah-ikn/ Fri, 11 Oct 2024 08:50:05 +0000 https://balaibahasaperth.org/?p=49147 Ibu Kota Nusantara     10 Oktober 2024

Presiden Joko Widodo inaugurated the State Palace at the Indonesia’s future capital of Nusantara on the island of Kalimantan, less than two weeks before leavingoffice. The President’s party arrived at the Nusantara airport on a Boeing 737-800, the biggest aircraft to have used the airstrip to date. Commercial flights are expected to operate from the start of 2025.

Recently, the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) Authority opened parts of the city to tourists, including the Ceremony Plaza, a sprawling field that directly faces the StatePalace and the Garuda Palace and is also fitted with a mini amphitheater, forest trail, retail gallery and visitor center.

The Garuda Palace is still under construction and when finished will be inaugurated by incoming President Prabowo. I Nyoman Nuarta, the visionary behind the Garuda Palace, explained that the design features a Garuda, the national emblem, which appears to embrace the palace, symbolizing protection for the Indonesian people. The Garuda’s head is gently bowed to convey humility rather than arrogance. Standing at 44 meters from the road and 88 meters above sea level, the overall height of Garuda Palace reaches 70 meters.
