I have just spoken to senior people at Balihai and to my utter dismay they have confirmed my worst fears - Balihai Resort looks like closing in a few weeks.
Apparently, there is an as yet insoluble problem relating to the owner of the land and the owner (Bank) of the hotel proper. This afternoon staff (over 1000) were told that after a short while (week or so) their jobs will no longer exist. After the 2 bombing down turns this will come as another savage blow to them and their families.
So far I have had quite a number of sms's from distraught friends employed there and while I will reply to them all, at present I really don't know what to say to them. Words seem so inadequate sometimes don't they.
