Could it be a way for Immigration staff to get money to pay back the amount that was pilfered from the VoA-fee coffers earlier this year?
At least I expected new cunning and illegal ways of retrieving the stolen money would occur after the verdict.
If I remember correctly, the stolen amount was something like 300.000 US$ so having relieved trusting passengers of 5 US$ each, after just 60.000 passengers, Bingo, and all money can be quickly returned.
This was bound to happen and it is a real pity that it did as the name of Bali gets tarnished.
What next as to scams at the airport?
