JAKARTA - The Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia (KJRI) Kuching assisted in the repatriation of two Indonesian citizens (WNI) who had strokes and broken bones, along with six other problematic Indonesian citizens from Sarawak Malaysia to Indonesia via the Entikong National Border Post (PLBN), West Kalimantan.

"There are eight Indonesian citizens with problems who need help to be returned to Indonesia from Sarawak and we have sent them home on Friday, November 10. They include two men who have problems with work and two women. Meanwhile, two more Indonesian citizens are sick with broken bones and had a stroke," said Indonesian Consul General Raden Sigit Witjaksono, Sunday, November 12.

The Consul General explained that the Indonesian citizen suffered a broken leg and a fractured hip. The fracture was caused by the victim falling from the second floor of his work place in Kuching. Then another Indonesian citizen was suffering from a stroke and was stranded at Bintulu Bus Station, Sarawak.

"Because the Indonesian citizens who had suffered a stroke were displaced, other Indonesian citizens in Bintulu were assisted and reported to the Indonesian Consulate General in Kuching so that they received treatment and were sent back to Indonesia," said Sigit.
