The story goes that when I made Mangku Pastika was a young boy, a neighbor hanged himself about his gambling debts. His grandfather, the earlier a rich man with a lot of property, went bankrupt because of the accursed habit. He saw his friends' fathers ignored the education and welfare of their families. These memories made a strong impression on the boy, and go to explain a long way, why today, Bali's governor is not a big fan of playing any form.

Later, when Pastika Bali police chief was he all but the vice because of the social problems and unending misery it causes eliminated it was during his tenure as Papua police chief that Pastika helped achieve the first Bali bomb -. terrorist atrocity in Bali in October 02 -. that made him widely throughout the world known on an island whose economy is based on tourism, Pastika has the background as chief negotiator in the 02 and 05 Bali bombings in good stead his political career stood.

Since the house was barely enough to accommodate the family, the boy would sometimes sleep on one of the chairs in the classroom of his father. Pastika held many different jobs - grass, ice and flowers for sale, working as a craftsman for a Chinese family - but his diligence paid by from senior high school in Palembang conclusion

One day, by chance. accompanied the young man a friend who wanted to enroll in the Indonesian police academy. When he learned that enrollment at the school was free, the prosecution dropped him to obtain employment. He studied at the Academy in 1974, began his long career as a police officer.

Pastika began to distinguish itself from the beginning. While working in Jakarta's Tanjung Priok Harbour, several Chinese-speaking smugglers a large cargo truck with electrical appliances drove filled in a warehouse. Pastika, who could speak Chinese, ordered the driver to stop, thereby thwart a major smuggling attempt. Knowledge and experience which he collected later at the police mobile brigade, the intelligence unit and in the Indonesian Narcotics Agency pursued his career. Pastika has a job as Chief of Police of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) in 1999 at the time when the province was filled with refugees from East Timor. After working in NTT he became chief of Papua Police Department appointed. His first task was to investigate the murder of Theys Eluay, a respected local Papua spokesman that led to the conviction and sentencing of four Kopassus soldiers.

When an opportunity presented itself for a position as police chief to request of his Province Bali, Pastika did not qualify in the position for the position. At the time he was a two-star general, and the post was open only to a one-star general. However, the post had changed the requirements, so that qualifies a two-star general.

Members of the upper Brahmin Ksatriya and Wesya Case province. Pastika, who does not come from a privileged background, the first governor of the island from the farmer Sudra caste was hailing.

As governor, he has always tried to close the gap between the expectations of the people and the actual delivery of the government. While the public has become better informed and action-oriented, the bureaucracy is determined in its rules and regulations. He does not draw a decree to lead, but by example. Not the kind of bureaucrats who goes home at 2 am, he is at his desk 07:30 to 17:00. He is actually a work or on the job the other seven days a week to change the attitude of the bureaucracy to be thousands of civil servants oriented disciplined and public service to promote Bali and take on modern practices.
