TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Head of Jakarta Manpower and Transmigration Department Priyono said that his office has the right to request the deportation of 104 foreign employees ofAlexis Hotel.
“If their permits have ended, then you’re not allowed to work. [It's for] anyone, it doesn’t only apply to Alexis [employees]. If a foreign worker’s permit has ended we will coordinate with immigration to deport them,” said Priyono on Friday, November 3.

Priyono reasons that practically, his department is faced with a challenge in checking the foreign workers’ whereabouts since the hotel is no longer operating its business.
He also defended Governor Anies Baswedan and said that a number of foreign workers employed by Alexis corroborate with the Governor’s claims.
However, Priyono said that it is possible that the real number of Alexis foreign workers could actually be more than what people are aware of and that there might be several of them that do not have a working permit.
