SAMARINDA, East Kalimantan: The deportation of Indonesian
workers from Malaysia has continued, with 1,000 to 3,000 arriving
every day in Nunukan regency, East Kalimantan, a local official
said on Saturday.

"The workers arriving are not only those deported but also
others wanting to arrange the extension of their immigration
documents," said Kasmir Foret, the Nunukan deputy regent, who
also serves as the task force coordinator for the problems
associated with returning workers.

He said, however, the arrival of illegal workers would cause
serious worries if they reached 5,000 or more per day and that
should major influxes begin, his administration would ask the
provincial and central governments to help deal with the problem.

The Malaysian authorities said recently they would soon deport
hundreds of thousands of illegal workers from abroad, including
Indonesia. --JP
