Huge investments have poured in from Jakarta, and the Balinese have only retained control over those sectors of the economy where their grasp of " tradition " is needed. These alien investments have set off a wave of migration toward Bali. The Balinese are now squeezed between an "alien" bourgeoisie in control of capital at the top and an " alien " underclass at the bottom. This has generated an identity crisis which is slowly turning political. The first symptom was "cultural tourism". The scapegoating of the "Javanese" and the appearance of pecalang militias followed. The Saefuddin affair (1998) revealed the mass appeal of the movement, with the PDI paradoxically its main vehicle, Megawati being perceived as Balinese.
