1,200 INDONESIAN MIGRANT WORKERS FROM MALAYSIA TO RETURN THROUGH NUNUKAN
Balikpapan, Sept 21 (ANTARA) - It is estimated that around 1,200 Indonesian workers in Malaysia will be going home through Nunukan, East Kalimantan, to celebrate the post-fasting Idul Fitr festivities in their respective hometowns, East Kalimantan police spokesman Senior Commissioner I Wayan Tjatra said here on Sunday.
"We have been coordinating with the Malaysian police with regard to the arrival of Indonesian workers from Tawau, Malaysia," he said.
This tradition has always happened every year ahead of the Idul Fitr. "We have already prepared the Nunukan police for it. If necessary reinforcements would be sent from the regional police command," he said.
The chief of the Nunukan police resort, Adjunct Senior Commissioner Purwo Cahyoko said when asked about his preparations for the home-coming that he had already coordinated with the offices concerned such as the Nunuka administration and the immigration office.
"If the workers arrive in Nunukan we will directly register them at a pooling station," he said adding "this is done to avoid intruders including terrorists."
He said he had not yet known the exact dates of their arrival but he had already set up a joint team to deal with them.
At present there are around 40 people who come and go from or to Nunukan or Tawau each day. "I think these people are only travelling to extend their passports that had expired," he said.
