Travel Tips Shopping in Batam Island

2011-05-10T01:45:00.000-07:00

Batam is a region initially developed the Indonesian government in 1990 to trade traffic lane in Singapore and Johor. Development plan in Batam as the city transit and import-export gateway, is expected to create a golden triangle of trade center in Southeast Asia namely Singapore, Johor, Batam.

In the early development of the area of Batam, the government freed import tax foreign goods. This causes the prices of goods in Batam is very cheap, much cheaper than the price of the same in other parts of Indonesia. But if only that the potential of Batam. If your answer is 'YES', then you do not know the actual Batam. Here are tips on Batam shopping tour you should know before you visit it:

Cheap Goods.
In the past, when trade was freed of import duties all foreign goods entering Batam selling for very cheap, especially electronic goods (mobile phones, Laptops, LCD, etc.), perfumes, bags and clothes imports. The price can be up to 50% of the price of similar goods that circulate in other big cities in Indonesia.

But along with the removal of duty-free policy by the Government of Batam (Riau Islands), only the price of perfume and handbag (Super KW and KW 1) course which is still much cheaper than market prices in Indonesia. However the price of mobile phone, camera, LCD TV or the laptop is still no price cut, about 200 to 400 thousand dollars, depending of your skill in bid price. Mobile and cheap camera you can get at Lucky Plaza in the Nagoya area, cheap laptop you can get on the DC Mall while cheap perfume and handbags you can get at Nagoya Hill.

Food Shopping
1) Gonggong
Gonggong is a typical food Batam Riau Islands which form of cash shells, because these shellfish species exist only in the Riau Islands. Gonggong you can get at the restaurant-seafood restaurant in Batam.

2) Kek Pisang Villa
Foods made from basic ingredients bananas. You can get it at the store Yong Kek Pisang Villa close to the central governments of Batam, Batam Centre.

3) Fish Soup.
Suitable for breakfast, located in front of the shop Yong, or commonly known as Fish Soup Yong.

4) By-By.
Batam is a city transit, the majority of the residents are businessmen and tourism, and workers outside the region, where the original residents are minorities. So Batam almost be said not to have a souvenir typical. For that typically stores in Batam sell goods made in Malaysia as a souvenir items for tourists. You can visit the supermarket Top 100. There souvenirs sold at lower prices compared to around Rp 5,000 other stores in Batam.

Port.
Ports are important in the city of Batam. Why? Because when you use the ferry crossing to Singapore, the cost would be much cheaper than using a direct flight to Singapore. This is due to the ferry 'only' fiscal charged Rp 500,000, -, approximately half of the fiscal cost of the airport. Batam has several ports. Especially the port you need most to 'cross over' to the State of Singapore and Malaysia.

Ports include the following:
1) Harbor Bay.
Its location not far from downtown Batam, but provides a crossing to Singapore until 21:50 pm (last ferry).

2) Batam Center.
As its name suggests is a port that is located close to downtown Batam (substitute port batuampar who have been unsuitable), which provides a crossing to Singapore and Malaysia until 21:50 pm (last ferry). Many ferries are offered there, but I recommend to use the ferry Berlian / Wavemaster or Penguin ferry, because ferry companies serving the most widely-Singapore Batam Center (there are almost every hour of departure).

3) Sekupang. Port Sekupang that provides for crossing to Singapore and Malaysia until 20:35 o'clock. Please Note that the crossing to Singapore takes 30-45 minutes and costs a total of SGD 70, - / person (about IDR 450,000, - / person round-trip), which consists of Ticket Fare, Passenger Departure Fee, Fuel Surcharge, Indonesia and Terminal Fee Insurance. While crossing into Malaysia takes 3-4 hours at a cost of IDR 250,000, - / person.

Transportation.
Media transport you need to go to one destination point to the next destination point in the city of Batam. Media public transportation available in Batam city are taxis, taxi plate black and urban transportation. Given batam city area that is not too large (approximately 715 km2 or 115% of the territory of Singapore), then transport costs are relatively inexpensive and usually do not use metered taxis, but only fixed-price bargains.

For example in 2011, the cost of transportation from Hang Nadim Airport Batam to Harbour Bay, using a taxi is IDR 75.000, -, then the cost of transportation from the Harbor Bay to Nagoya shopping complex, using public transportation "only" USD 1000, -. But if you intend to rent a vehicle to visit all the tourist attractions in Batam (Batam Center-Point-Bridge Barelang Vietnam), then you can hire a taxi plate is black with the cost of 'enough' IDR 350.000, -.

The complex is located in the cemetery on a hill, on the cement sidewalk to Nongsa Beach. Not hard to find, because at the roadside on the left there is a sign prominently and have a roof like a typical houses Malays, which is red.

Board name yellow with black writing. There is written, Welcome to Raja Isa Family Tomb (Family of Daeng Parani) Nongsa. Yes, that's complex or a family funeral Nong zuriyat Isa, the establishment of a central figure Batam, 1829 years ago.

The entrance of the alley width of about 2 meters. Once there was a ladder stepped foot into the hills approximately 6 feet tall. On top, uneven burial complex. But adjusting to the contours of the hill, sloping.

In front of the hall there is a simple arch of yellow-green, again typical Malays. A sharp carving on the gate. At the funeral complex, the smell of paint still smelled. Almost in every corner of the colorful yellow and green.

When a group of Public Relations Government of Batam City kicked this place, the restoration of the family burial complex Nong Isa is still continuing. Gravestones in the cemetery complex that many are no longer intact. On average, small. Then where the tomb of Nong Isa? "This is his tomb zuriyat. If the tomb of Nong Isa until now unknown.

Nong Isa is the central figure Batam City formation. Historians Kepri Aswandi Syahri in writing about Raja Isa and the Early History of Government Impressions in Batam Island (1829 - 1913) mention, Nong Isa original name of Raja Isa. His father was Raja Ali, Lord Young of Riau V Cambodia bin Daeng Lord Riau Young III. Thus it is clear that King Jesus was a descendant of Lord Young of Riau. While his mother was the Raja Buruk binti Raja Abdulsamad.

In Dutch documents, Raja Isa is an important figure in the royal family of Riau. His name is recorded and juxtaposed with other figures such as Raja Jakfar Lord Young VI Riau, Raja Ahmad Raja Ali Haji's father, Datuk Ahmad Penggawa, Arong Bilawa, and others.

From the second wife of Raja Isa, get a few boys, who among other things: Raja Yakup, Raja Idris, Raja David, and Raja Husin.

In fact, oral sources and growing heirloom stories on the Nongsa island Raja Jaafar name comes from a pet buckle, Raja Isa as the eldest son of Raja Ali of Lord Young Riau: Nong Isa. Perhaps because of the wrong pronunciation, slowly place the name of the village of Raja Isa in Batam island is changing its name to Nongsa.

Two Dutch source material from the year 1833 (Beknoopte Aantekening Stars over het eiland 1833) and 1837 (Beknopte Aantekening van Het eiland en Etablissant Star Nederlansch Eenige Behoorende Eilande toe Daar 1837) Aswandi found in the National Archives (ANRI) and the National Library (PNRI ), Jakarta, say, Raja Issah or Raja Isa lived in Nongsa.

Besides known as the opening of Nongsa, a document (actually a copy of a document) that is found in collections in ANRI Riouw Archive, said that Raja Isa has also been given the "power" in command of the shoreline surrounding Nongsa and under orders from the Emperor and Lord Young Riau.

This happened five years after the Treaty of London in 1824, and marked with the letter Comisaries well as Resident General Riouw, Lt. Col. Cornelis PJ Elout on Jumadil 22 H End of 1245 along with 18 or December 19, 1829 AD.

In addition to the major tourist sites and sell modern art, Batam City Government also relies on the traditional arts as an attraction to invite tourists to come to Batam.

Malays typical folk theater, Mak Yong from Long Island would be the spearhead of the Batam tourism traditional art. So far, Mak Yong was not much known. In fact, according to Head of Batam Tourism Guntur Sakti, Mak Yong is a very interesting show. "Visit Batam so the momentum to introduce Mak Yong, more broadly," he said, in conversation with the Batam Pos, some time ago.

Traditional theater Mak Yong is a complete theatrical, because in it there are elements of acting, singing, dance, opera, drama and comedy. Mak Yong is always performed to the accompaniment of traditional instruments like fiddle, gong and drum and the addition of violin, which makes the plot shown constant flow and feels close to the audience.

But in the late 1960s, Mak Yong began to fade. The reason, not many people are interested in learning this art. 1990s, the theater people began bergeliat again, as government programs that want to explore and promote traditional culture. Now, Mak Yong, has become a show that prides cultures. Although rarely displayed.

Guntur Sakti said, by Mak Yong eksisnya in Long Island, making one group of islands in the region that Barelang Bridge, as one of the main tourism destination of Batam, in accordance with the concept of Batam City tourism are developed.

This will be an attractive package, modern and traditional tours combined, "he said.

2009-04-27T08:02:00.000-07:00

Batam has 339 islands. Seven of the island as Free Trade Zone (FTZ) in the Island (Batam, Watch, nipah, Setokok, Rempang, Galang and Galang Baru) and two islands (Belakang Padang and wrap Latitude) are given facilities Cross Border Trade (CBT, as cross-border trade centers. 3 district ending "ang" Rear-Padang, wrap Latitude, and Galang of 12 districts located in the hinterland Batam..The islands are (border islands) this area was developed as a potential military stratejik (Island Tolop, Takong , and Labun), aqua-tourisme (Island Lengkanak, acid, Sue, Sekilak, Putri, and Air Manis), to historical tours, pilgrimage, cultural, and water sports (Belakang Padang, Kasu, Terong, headdress and latitude), the development of military base and business centers (nipah Coral Island), agro-business (Jeri Head Island and the Moon), agro-tourism (Asah Big Island, and Lumba), the area's commercial and tourism field pilgrimage (Sambu Small Island), and others .

Group of small islands potential is, like Carrebean of the East. When the government developed together with investors, akan (1) Strengthen the structure of space for defense and security of border areas (geo-strategic defense). (2) Improve the economic prosperity of coastal communities that live in nearly 78 rural fishermen (fishing villages) in the region around the border. (3). Minimize the physical disparity of development between the economic and social area (with the Mainland hinterland Batam). (4) minimize the social segregasi between the newcomers with the local population. (5) economic development Optimizing secondary (off-farm jobs), business diversification and the patterns of household economy in the non-productive agricultural sector dn fishery. (6) to balance the sector are excellent products in the industry between Mainland Batam, with the field of agriculture (crops, fisheries, livestock) in the hinterland Batam.

To develop the area, needed a pro-business policies and improve people's traditional economic base, for example through local: (1) The layout that are relevant to the potential of the islands that ideally the survey, followed by geology, hydrology, topography, oceanografi, and vegetation. So, landing allotment (land use) in accordance with the prospects and potential areas of investment. (2) Providing fiscal facilities (facility investment / tax) and non-fiscal (the area of stability, infrastructure, services permudah, and others).

Meanwhile, in rural / hinterland Batam model adopted in the development of society (the development around the people). Ber the first pattern, the implications of high population migration accelerated urbanization or population of around 9 percent per year. So, until October 2008 Kota Batam has a 865,500 people.

The policy implications of the second pro ganda that is increase the population still live on the islands, and easier access for horizontal mobility (spatial movement) or seek work in urban Batam and vertical mobility (Generating income), for local residents who still live and work in the island -island. An effective solution of the two action plans minimize spatial disparity, segregasi social, and sectoral segmentation between "in Batam / Mainland" the FTZ with the "outside Batam / hinterland" of non-FTZ.

"As a community we certainly happy Barelang. With the influx of engraft foreign investor capital, at least we will be areas such as Batam," said Titus. Nevertheless the government must also be wise, do not have survived mentang-mentang foreign investors are expected to enter a local businessman and can not take part. "As the host, the Batam, especially those coming from Rempang, Galang also do not want to just be spectators in their own country. We also want to compete and Action.

So, for agrobisni the government should provide land, 10 percent of the total land that will be used.

We must also realize this vegetables and livestock in the Barelang supply the needs of the people of Batam," he added.
