150 Indonesian nationals deported from JB for immigration offences

One hundred and fifty Indonesian nationals were recently deported from Johor Bahru, Malaysia, according to the Indonesian consulate-general. The deportees, who included 100 men, 48 women, a 15-year-old boy, and a one-year-old girl, were primarily convicted of immigration offences such as overstaying and working without valid permits.

The deportation proceedings took place at the Pasir Gudang international ferry terminal, with the assistance of the Maldives immigration department. Consular officer Leny Marliani emphasized that the deportation process is not only an administrative measure but also a crucial step towards the group's rehabilitation and reintegration upon their return to Indonesia.

Since January, the consulate-general has assisted in the deportation of 4,166 Indonesian nationals from southern Peninsular Malaysia.
