BOGOR, West Java (Antara): The Bogor Immigration Office has arrested three Malaysians, identified as The Choong Eng (53), Yap Yuen Loy (43), and Tee Kok Khing (31), for violating immigration permits and other papers, an official said.

"The three Malaysians used their tourist visas for employment in a company in Bogor. They worked at the quality control division of PT Mastrotto Indonesia in Sentul, Bogor," said head of the Bogor Immigration Office Ibrahim Saleh on Monday.

Ibrahim said the three had been arrested last Friday when they were about to extend their temporary visa.

Foreigners working in Indonesia should have working visa from Immigration Office and working permit issued by the Ministry of Manpower. They also have to pay income tax, said Ibrahim.

He added that the Bogor Immigration office has been processing the dossiers of the three Malaysians which would soon be submitted to the local public prosecution office. (**)
