Malaysian caught overstaying

KUPANG, East Nusa Tenggara: A Malaysian citizen, Tan Tian
Chae, 23, has been quarantined by the local immigration office
for violating immigration laws. He overstayed his visa by almost
four months, Antara reported.

An immigration official, Surya Pranata, said here on Friday
that Tan, born in Johor, Malaysia, had been in quarantine since
March 6, 1999, for overstaying his visa by 68 days.

He said the Kupang immigration office sent a letter to the
Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta to arrange for the departure of Tan
to Malaysia.

However, he has not received an answer from the embassy
concerning Tan's case, he said.

"We asked the embassy to help move Tan from Kupang. But
there's been no answer so far," Pranata said.
