When Misses Fly Gone Wrong: The Bali Slap Incident
Picture this: a slick, sunny airport in Bali, planes humming, tourists sun‑bathing, and suddenly a 42‑year‑old British lady, Auj‑e Taqaddas, turns the calm into chaos at Ngurah Rai International Airport on July 28.
The Overstay Exposé
- Her visa, set to expire on Feb. 18, had drifted over 160 days past its deadline.
- Spending a ticket‑price‑plus‑fine of US$4,000 (/S$5,500), she was told she could not board her flight to Singapore.
- When the headline “You’re fined for overstaying” hit, she erupted like a surf‑wave on a bad day.
The Viral Showdown
Enter Immigration Officer Ardyansyah, 28, a respected guard who had to deliver the news. The British woman:
- shouts, “You’re not paying for this f‑king flight! You b‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑–shit told me to bring the money, why didn’t you tell me anything else?!”
- when the passport slipped from her grasp, she slaps the officer’s cheek like a bad seagull’s bite.
The clip exploded online; cameras captured the flurry, and a fellow guard filmed the whole thing. Instantly, the media went wild.
From the Director’s Desk
Chief Immigration Officer Ngurah Rai Aris Amran didn’t mince words: “She slapped the officer, who’s a respected guard. She touched immigration, which is like touching representatives of the nation. So we reported it to the police.”
Justice Served
Following an investigation, the government police detained and charged the woman. Her case serves as a stern reminder: Visa rules aren’t a joke—nor are they a hop‑over band‑aid.
So next time you’re chasing that summer beach getaway, remember to double‑check your visa expiry date, or Auj‑e’s lesson might be more dramatic than you bargained for!
