COMODO DRAGON CRIES OVER LABUAN BAJO

COMODO DRAGON CRIES OVER LABUAN BAJO

Comodo cries over Labuan Bajo. Had this proud icon of Labuan Bajo capable to express its feeling in the sense of human, the tears should have flooded out of its eyes mourning over the fate of its homeland which is under critical situation. 


Labuan bajo, the homeland of comodo dragon, sad to say is being buffeted by serious crisis of privatization toward central toursim spots including the isles the habitat shelter of this labuan bajo tourism icon. 


After its international promottion through sail of comodo, labuan bajo was started to be the promising business potential. Investor started to draw a bed on big investment like hotel, resorts, restaurant and many others. Furthermore, the islands just like padar island are privitized even by foreigners.


Who release sale certification of those isles? What about local citizens right? what is the role of local government in preventing such critical case? these are surely our substantial questions. 


Both local citizens and non non governmental organization have tied in allies in the rescuing movement of Labuan Bajo but they are entrapped within the regulation of government which gives the authority to private company by the proposition of tourism management. 


 We don't hear  whisper of  rescue movement from Government, legislators or great thinkers from local place who are quite popular in national level. It's absurd to see their stance regarding the crisis. Aren't they awaken or pretending to have temporal deaf upon the call of restoration from local citizens when they are in need in dilapidation of their homeland.


It's quite awkward for the author to see the temporal silence of great politicians from Flores who experience a sudden temporal ignorance for this. 

It's hard to ponder on nor to be judgemental on this but understading the matter from angle lof business, perhaps the sudden ignorance mentioned is simply corollary of systematic business intrigue. Great ideas, good endeavor to defend the rights of populi could be muffled easily when it comes to business. 

What about Komodo?



Comodo dragon surely cries over labuan bajo. It cries over the people who slowly feel foreign to their home land on the account of regulation in the name of tourism that systematically reduce their rights. Would it be  able to turn the clock to the past. Comodo dragon surely never wants its self to be well known as right now. It considers more on the local people of whom the part of its life as the native residents of Labuan Bajo. How about local public figures who have been in such a long time speechless. Are comodoes more conscious than them???
