JAKARTA - The Minister of Protection for Indonesian Migrant Workers (P2MI), Abdul Kadir Karding, revealed that access to visit five Indonesian citizens (WNI) victims of the shooting of Malaysian authorities had not yet been granted.
It is known that the five Indonesian citizens are suspected of leaving Malaysia through illegal routes around the waters of Tanjung Rhu, Selangor, Malaysia. They are said to have resisted until a shooting occurred by the Malaysian Maritime Power Strengthening Agency.
This caused an Indonesian citizen to die and several injuries.
"Now it is true that the Malaysian government or the Malaysian police and immigration have not allowed access to the bodies and other victims being treated in several hospitals," Karding told reporters, Monday, January 27, 2025.
Even so, the Indonesian government through the Ministry of P2MI and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemenlu) will prepare assistance for the victims. This method is still being worked on.

"The Embassy (KBRI Kuala Lumpur), as well as us at the Ministry of P2MI will ensure there is assistance," he said.
As previously reported, the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia (KBRI) in Kuala Lumpur urged Malaysia to investigate the death of an Indonesian citizen (WNI) who was allegedly shot by Malaysian maritime officials. A diplomatic note will be sent because it is suspected that there was excessive use of force.
"The Indonesian Embassy will also send a diplomatic note to encourage an investigation into the incident, including the possibility of using the exercise use of force," said Director of Protection for Indonesian Citizens of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemenlu), Judha Nugraha, quoted on Monday, January 27, 2025.
Judha also said that the Indonesian Embassy would ask for consular access to see the bodies and meet the injured victims.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur will continue to monitor the handling of this case by the Malaysian authorities," said Judha.
