14 Sept, ~5pm. Sultan Hasanuddin, Makassar. Departure hall. AirAsia AK335 to Kuala Lumpur.

Raja Ampat had already sent the letter the same day — 500.5.6.5/342/2026 — with the spear video, the cooked-turtle photos, the instructor certs.
Sorong Immigration had flagged him as a Subject of Interest and watched him move Sorong → Makassar.

“We will not let foreigners do as they please in Indonesia without a proportionate sanction. The dignity of the nation must be upheld.”
His line after they had him: not me in the video; the homestay people shot it; my religion doesn’t allow harming such a beautiful creature; I love Indonesia.
