Foreigners netted in citizenship operation

Twelve foreigners who were traveling without carrying identification cards, including eight Japanese, were netted in the citizenship operation in Central Jakarta.

Pos Kota reported yesterday that four other foreigners netted on Monday's operation included a Dane, Australian, Canadian and South Korean.

The foreigners were netted along with 108 Indonesian nationals registered as Jakarta and non-Jakarta residents in a citizenship operation on Jl. Lapangan Tembak in the Senayan area, Central Jakarta. They were fined on the spot which is in line with the operation procedures.

The operation team ordered the foreigners to pay a fine of Rp 7,000 each plus a Rp 500 administration fee.

During the operation, a joint team randomly stops vehicles on the road, including private cars, and requests passengers to produce their IDs. Those who cannot show their identification documents are judged on the spot and fined accordingly. (has)
