Indonesia blacklists two Dutch nationals over Bali running club row
The move followed an online outcry and comes as authorities try to curb foreign-run activities in Bali that may breach immigration and business rules.
A Bali running club in Canggu has drawn immigration scrutiny after Indonesian authorities blacklisted two Dutch nationals linked to Entourage, after online complaints alleging the group excluded local Indonesians, according to SCMP Economy.
The controversy was sparked when Indonesian residents shared screenshots of attempts to join the Canggu-based club, SCMP Economy reports, with the club having organized early-morning silent disco runs in May and June.
SCMP Economy adds that the episode reflects ongoing concerns about so-called discrimination against Indonesians on the resort island and highlights challenges for enforcement as officials work to rein in foreign-run activities that may violate immigration and business rules.
