However, until now, PPLB is still not equipped with a decent international standard infrastructure. SDM deficiency, the availability of equipment, and electricity that often dim at operational hours becomes the main problem that must be faced by the officers of various institutions in PPLB Entikong.
It is not surprising if, when an electric outage, immigration officers must work extra hard manually to check passports and documents the completeness of the boundaries due to computer networks that cannot operate. In fact, every day at least 1,000-1.500 people come out in the border through PPLB Entikong. Similar things happen in Bea and Customs section. The officers are forced to check the default items of the boundaries manually due to unusable x-ray machines. Amat is reasonable the susceptibility of the border guardian is utilized by oxnum to bring illegal goods from or to Indonesia and Malaysia.
