Excerpts from the video created by Josh Paler Lin and Leia Se, posted two weeks ago, show the two supermarket guards with a painted surgical mask after being refused entry because Se was unmasked. “Did you notice that no one is actually looking at you?” Lin exclaimed. “I can’t believe it worked,” he said in the video, which appears to have been removed from his social media accounts but has since been reposted elsewhere. Lin is a Taiwanese passport holder whose YouTube channel specializes in prank videos and is followed by 3.4 million fans. Has over 25,000 Instagram followers. Although first-time offenders of Bali‘s mask-wearing rule face fines of one million rupees (AU $ 90) for foreigners and deportation after a second offense, police wanted them to be immediately expelled from the Indonesian island. “It is right to punish them more severely, not only with a fine but also with deportation,” Bali Civil Service Police Unit chief Dewa Nyoman Rai Dharmadi said. “They not only violate, but deliberately provoke in public to defy health guidelines. The couple had shown remorse and apologized via Lin’s Instagram video. “I made this video to entertain people because I’m a content creator and it’s my job to entertain people,” Lin said. “However, I had no idea that what I did could actually bring a lot of negative feedback,” he added, advising people to always wear masks and urging everyone to help Bali regain her. tourism. Jamaruli Manihuruk, who heads the Bali regional office for the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, said Lin and Se would be deported as soon as possible after being tested for COVID-19.
