Four foreigners deported

Four foreigners deported

PALU, Central Sulawesi: The immigration office here has
deported four foreigners since January for overstaying their
visas, an official said on Thursday.

Head of the justice ministry's office Edwin Sihombing said two
of the aliens were Australians, one was a Czech woman and the
other a Dutchman.

Sihombing said the Dutch national, Michael J. Brookman, was
not checked by immigration officials when he entered the country
from the Malaysian island of Nunukan.

"It could happen because we lack personnel to oversee such a
major expanse of sea," Sihombing said. "They could enter
Indonesia using speedboats or fishermen's boats."

He suspected that many companies illegally employed
expatriates as diving instructors. (38)
