What's wrong with my visa?

What's wrong with my visa?

I have a complaint about an investigation made by the
intelligence service of the police. They visited PT Factory,
checking my colleague's and my business visas. My colleague's was
OK, but mine had a problem, perhaps because I have a white skin.

My colleague lives on the company premises and I at a hotel.
As per a request from the police last year PT Factory had to
register further guests, as twice we sent workers to Indonesia
without a visa in 2003 to check goods we had purchased from them,
and they were asked to leave the country. PT Factory paid some
money to secure their release.

I left the hotel on the morning of Feb. 10 to go to PT
Factory. The driver informed me that the police were at the
factory checking my colleague at 9:30 a.m. I arrived at 10 a.m.
and met with my colleague, who said all was fine.

The company representative asked for my passport for the
police to check. I hadn't brought my passport with me, so the
driver of PT Factory and two officers went to the hotel and asked
a representative from PT Factory to hold my passport. They left,
saying that there was something wrong with my visa. I went to the
hotel and immediately called the issuing consulate to clarify.
They said as long as the visa was a type 431 or type 439 it
should be OK. The police requested that I also register at the
police station. Aren't immigration records enough, including to
change my visa to type 439? So the consulate informed me that I
didn't need to register with the police. Who is right? What's the
rule here, if any?

The police should be honest! We are just trying to make a
living!
