SURABAYA, INDONESIA: The Malaysian government has deported approximately 5,575 Indonesian migrant workers from the country between January and March this year, Antara news agency reported Saturday.
The data from Foreign Affairs Ministry's Indonesian Nationals Protection Directorate and Indonesian Legal Board (BHI), which was made available to Antara here, indicated that of the 5,575 deported workers, 2,948 had earlier remained at the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur and several consulate general offices in Malaysia.
Foreign Affairs Ministry's Indonesian Nationals Protection Directorate and Indonesian Legal Board (BHI) spokesman Teguh Wardoyo said the deportation cost for the Indonesian migrant workers was borne by the Malaysian government.
"The government of Malaysia paid the deportation cost of the Indonesian migrant workers through several points such as Tanjung Pinang, Batam, and Nunukan," Teguh Wardoyo said.
He added that from those points, the problematic workers would be sent to the provincial capitals of their origin at expense of the Indonesian government. - Bernama
