People applying for passports drops

JAMBI, Jambi: The number of people applying for passports at the
Jambi Immigration Office has decreased from 20 people per day to
an average 10 people after the March 1 crackdown on illegal
workers in Malaysia, a senior official said on Tuesday.

Zardianto, a spokesman from Jambi Immigration Office, said
that fewer people were applying for passports there since the
government set up a one-stop service in Dumai, Riau province, for
Indonesian migrant workers wishing to process Malaysian work
permits and immigration documents.

Separately, Arpan, an official at the Manpower and
Transmigration Office in Jambi province, explained that Jambi had
obtained 500 job orders from Malaysia since Malaysia began
cracking down on illegal workers on March 1. -- JP
