Immigration officers ask for dollars

From Koran Tempo

The government must start immediately its fight against fraud and corruption. In this context, Minister of Justice and Human Rights Hamid Awaluddin must inspect immigration checkpoints at international airports and domestic seaports because immigration officers assigned there usually ask expatriates and Indonesian residents abroad for U.S. dollars.

It is time that immigration officers at all levels were given a refresher course on ethics, laws and services so that they can perform their duties professionally. They must always remember that they are assigned at the gateway to Indonesia and must, therefore, always show their professionalism and hospitality.
