HK citizen faces lawsuit<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The Ministry of Justice's directorate general of
\nimmigration will file suit against a Hong Kong citizen for
\nillegally obtaining Indonesian citizenship, an official said.<\/p>\n
Immigration director of supervision and control Zaiman
\nNurmatias announced on Wednesday that his office had compiled
\nevidence that Li Wing Fong, 46, had obtained citizenship
\nillegally.<\/p>\n
Zaiman said Li, who owns chartered tankers, also had in her
\npossession two illegal identification cards from Warudoyong in
\nSukabumi and Pademangan in North Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Li reportedly married a man named Haris in a religious affairs
\noffice in Sukabumi in June 1996, he said.<\/p>\n
\"We believe the marriage was a sham, and it was used to
\nprocess her Indonesian citizenship at Sukabumi District Court,\"
\nhe said.<\/p>\n
Immigration officers arrested Li on Feb. 18 at PT Adiguna
\nNusantara Shipping company, he said.<\/p>\n
Zaiman said his office had received a report from Li's real
\nhusband, identified as Goei Bon Tong, who said Haris had
\nillegally processed Li's citizenship documents.<\/p>\n
He said Goei married Li in a traditional ceremony when they
\nwere still poor and living in Hong Kong. They later came to
\nIndonesia to find a better life.<\/p>\n
Goei claimed to have a 15 percent share, worth Rp 180 million,
\nin PT Adiguna Nusantara Shipping from when it only owned two
\nships.<\/p>\n
\"Now the company has grown into a big company with at least 34
\nships. But she dumped me,\" Goei was quoted by Zaiman as saying.
