JAKARTA - Indonesian Migrant Worker Protection Minister (P2MI) Abdul Kadir Karding said access to shooting victims by the Malaysian Maritime Strengthening Agency (APMM) around the waters of Tanjung Rhu, Selangor, Malaysia, had been opened.

It is known that the victims in the shooting that took place on Friday, January 24 were five people. One died and four others were hospitalized. After the incident, Malaysian authorities have not opened up access to meet the victims.

"So these four, four of these people, God willing, on Wednesday (29 January) access will be opened to be seen," Karding explained in a video release received by media crews in Jakarta, Wednesday, January 29.

For victims who died, according to Karding, they will be sent back to Riau on Thursday this week. The KemenP2MI, continued Karding, will facilitate the victim until he arrives at his residence.

"The BP3MI in Riau will prepare everything to ensure that the bodies arrive in Riau. Starting from preparing an ambulance and having prepared a crossing from Dumai," explained Karding.

The shooting incident of five non-procedural PMIs by APMM occurred last Friday at around 03.00 a.m. Malaysian time. The shooting incident resulted in a migrant worker dying, one another in critical condition, and three people being treated at several hospitals in Selangor, Malaysia.

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 Strengthening Agency.
