YUDHOYONO, NAJIB NEED TO DISCUSS SHOOTING OF INDONESIAN WORKERS
Kuala Lumpur, April 18 (ANTARA) - The shooting of three Indonesian migrant workers by Malaysian police must be discussed by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak when they meet here on May 17 and 18, an activist said.
"While discussing the shooting of the three Indonesian migrant workers, the Indonesian government also needs to summon the Malaysian ambassador in Jakarta to question and lodge a protest against the shootings," Executive Director of Migrant Care Alex Ong who is also chairman of Javanese Solidarity Group Society (Pasomaja), said here on Sunday.
He said that should the three Indonesian workers be proved guilty, they need to be brought to justice, not shot at will.
Alex Ong said that Malaysian police had shot dead many Indonesian migrant workers suspected of involvement in crimes.
In the shooting of the three Indonesians, who hailed from Sampang, Madura, East Java, there were witnesses who saw that the three were picked up by the police from an Internet cafe, not in a way as told by the Malaysian side.
The Malaysian side reported that the three Indonesian workers were shot dead after trying to attack Malaysian police with a home assembled pistol and machetes following a car accident involving their proton saga car and a police patrol car.
The Indonesian workers' car (proton car) and the police patrol car collided. The proton car tried to flee but hit a tree in the Danau Kota Putri area.
The proton car's passengers got off and tried to attack the police.
Selangor Police Chief Khalid Abu Bakar said that the three were members of the "Gondol Rubbers Ring" which was involved in a rubbery at 19 houses in a number of Malaysian states.
But witnesses told the Indonesian embassy that the three men had been picked up by the police at an Internet cafe in the Damansar area.
The Indonesian embassy is now examining the case. The bodies of the tree Indonesians have been sent home.
