Migrant Workers Clash Erupts

Dozens of Indonesians, angered over the fatal shooting of an Indonesian migrant worker in neighboring waters, threw eggs at the Malaysian Embassy in Indonesia’s capital. A 50-year-old migrant worker was shot dead and four others wounded on January 24 after the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency opened fire on their boat for alleged trespassing in the waters off Tanjung Rhu Beach in Selangor state. The incident has caused anger among Indonesians, leading to the protest at the Malaysian Embassy. The fatal shooting is likely to increase tension between the two countries, with many Indonesians demanding justice for the migrant worker who was killed. The Malaysian authorities have not yet commented on the shooting, which has sparked widespread outrage in Indonesia.
