Malaysian authorities have reported 37 Indonesian migrant workers – 21 men and 16 women – who arrived at Dumai International Airport on Saturday, according to an Indonesian official.
Jakarta Globe reports that they allegedly entered Malaysia without proper documentation or overstayed their permits.
Upon arrival at Dumai port, the deportees underwent document checks by the immigration office and medical examinations by the port’s quarantine authority.
“They entered Malaysia illegally – some overstayed their permits, most of them lacked proper documents,” said Fanny Wahyu Kurniawan, head of the provincial branch of the Indonesian Migrant Worker Protection and Service Agency.
