RIAU - A Malaysian citizen with the initials AH (55) was refused entry through the TPI Dumai Class I Immigration Office because he entered illegally.

"Arriving at 12.15 WIB, and at the time of examination by immigration officers, it was found that the person concerned was listed on the penalty list and had been deported from Indonesian territory for overstaying," said Head of the Riau Ministry of Law and Human Rights Regional Office Mhd Jahari Sitepu to reporters, in Pekanbaru, Antara, Friday, January 6.
AH was refused to enter Indonesia and returned to the ship to be sent back to the initial embarration. Jahari said, the euphoria of the turn of 2022 to 2023, plus the health protocol was not strict, made the public's enthusiasm in traveling internationally increase.
"This is good news, because it can revive the economy. But on the one hand, we must remain vigilant, because there are irresponsible people who take advantage of this moment for personal gain," he said again.
For this reason, Jahari stated that he always emphasized to all ranks, to continue to carry out thorough examinations. You must not be careless and reckless, because the security and order of the nation is a fixed price.
