SAMARINDA, East Kalimantan: Police in Tarakan, near the border
with Malaysia, foiled an attempt to smuggle 50 Indonesian job-
seekers into the neighboring country on Wednesday.

A spokesman for the Tarakan police precinct, First Lt. Rudi
Hartono, said three men were arrested on suspicion of trying to
smuggle the job-seekers.

He said police found it difficult to control the manpower
traffic in Tarakan because brokers cleverly arrange the job-
seekers' transfer to Malaysia.

The 50 illegal job-seekers recruited from East Java, South
Kalimantan and East Nusa Tenggara will be sent home, Antara
reported. (pan)
