Englishman deported

JAKARTA (JP): The immigration office deported on Thursday an
English national through Soekarno-Hatta international airport for
abusing his immigration permit, an official said.

Immigration spokesman Mursanudin Ghani said that David John
Eddy, who holds a limited stay permit card (KITAS) which is valid
until October 2001, also violated the immigration regulations by
holding more than one job without permission from the Ministry of
Manpower and Transmigration.

Ghani said that based on an investigation conducted by the
Bengkulu immigration office, David, whose name is now blacklisted
by Indonesia's immigration authorities, was working as the
financial director of PT Asia Jeanny.

PT Asia Jeanny is a foreign investment construction company
which has yet to secure a fixed license for constructing or
demolishing buildings from the Investment Coordinating Board
(BKPM) but which began its commercial activities in 1995,
according to Ghani.

"The Englishman told immigration officers that he also worked
as a liaison officer for the restoration of English heritage in
Bengkulu in cooperation with the Friends of Bengkulu (FOB),"
Ghani said in his press statement.(01)
