The Bali Scam Sweepstakes
All was quiet at the Royal Bali Beach Club Hotel, Sanur, Bali, on Thursday two weeks ago. Just four foreign visitors could be seen sunbathing by the pool. Even so, according to the receptionist, all 32 rooms were occupied. "Only Royal Bali members can stay here," said the woman. But that turned out to be a false statement, as even non-Royal Bali members could be squeezed in.
Today, 12 expatriates are suing Permata Bahari, a hotel marketing company, and Royal Karma Development, the building owner. They are demanding that the two companies pay some US$76,000 in compensation plus Rp10 billion. "As long as they've been members, they've never been able to enjoy their rights," said Sylvia Maladi, the plaintiffs' attorney, last week.
