Immigration office arrests three Malaysians over working permit

some real oddities in this story.

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

excuse me, but if they had tourist visas, then (legal) extension is impossible! so what was it; a tourist visa (VoA), or perhaps an extendable business or social visa? why is the head of Bogor immigration office clearly lying about this? maybe he was misquoted ...

 Quote:
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.

indeed, they should pay income tax. but this is not your dept, is it Pak Ibrahim? why bring it up? are you also head of the tax office in Bogor? and how much does Pak Ibrahim know about the complexities of foreign workers and tax numbers?

 Quote:
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.

prosecuted? good grief. why were they not just deported? the answer is money: these malaysians refused to pay up.
