The gate of the immigration office was closed, but the passengers off the bus and prepared to be asked at the front gate.
Once our group was composed of seven women: three newspaper journalist and one of the Healthy Lifestyles, an employee of Bank Mandiri, and two people Archaeological UI Five minutes later the gates opened and all those who want to travel to East Malaysia rushed to the queue at immigration.
When the line got closer to us looking Malays, suddenly appeared grim-looking man next to us. “Where’s passport? Who would take?” he said harshly.
