Makassar to deport Malaysian woman

MAKASSAR, South Sulawesi: The local immigration office here
will soon deport a young Malaysian woman believed to have lived
illegally in South Sulawesi for six years as a prostitute.

Now in her second marriage and with a five-year-old daughter,
Siti Damalan binti Bangsawan Rasir, 20, had entered Indonesia
without proper documents, immigration sources said on Monday.

Immigration authorities also said that the Indonesian
consulate general in Kota Kinabalu had been contacted to secure
Siti's identity card before a passport could be issued by the
Malaysian embassy in Jakarta for her return.

Her confession to the immigration office that she had been
working as a prostitute since 1996 came after her second husband,
Yacob, 31, a reporter with a local tabloid, complained that Siti
frequently spent the night away from home. (27)
