Former Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) has officially shared his status as a resident of Bali—he did so by showing off his KTP (identity card). No more ‘Java’ written on there!

SBY professed his love for beautiful Bali during a lecture at Udayana University. 

“For 10 years as president, I have been almost every year in Tampak Siring. That is, I’ve been 50 times in Tampak Siring” he said of the Balinese temple in Gianyar, as quoted by VIVA News

He also spoke of the Bali Arts Festival as one of the most compelling displays of art and culture in Bali and said 20 percent of the art and cultural objects in the SBY Gallery Center would be from Bali.
