TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesian Embassy Kuala Lumpur Police Attaché Senior Commissioner Juliarman Eka Putra Pasaribu said that one Indonesian citizen who was a victim of the shooting in Malaysia is still in critical condition. The victim is still being treated at the Sultan Idris Shah Serdang Hospital, Selangor.
"One person is still critical and two other Indonesian citizens have been discharged from the hospital," said Juliarman in a written statement, Sunday, February 2, 2025.
Juliarman said that there were three shooting victims who were being treated separately in Selangor. Last Friday, two Indonesian citizens were allowed to return to Indonesia.
However, he said that the survivors who had returned were still being questioned by the Malaysian police. However, he said, currently the investigation process is still focused on the security forces who shot the Indonesian citizen.
He said that the shooting case was being handled by the Selangor Police Department or a police unit at the resort police level. "The local police are committed to investigating this case transparently," he said.
Previously, five Indonesian citizens were reportedly shot by the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (APMM) in the waters of Tanjung Rhu, Selangor, on Friday morning, January 24, 2025. The shooting resulted in one Indonesian citizen being killed and four others being injured.
Juliarman said that before the shooting occurred, the APMM patrol team asked the ship carrying the Indonesian citizens to stop and provide identification. However, the ship carrying the Indonesian citizens ignored the order and fled at high speed.
He said that there was a chase. However, the APMM patrol team was unable to stop the ship because it was traveling at high speed. "The ship used three engines, because they could not be caught up, they fired 10 shots at the target and ended up injuring the passengers on board," said Juliarman.
In response to this incident, the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a diplomatic note to Malaysia to encourage a thorough investigation, including highlighting the possibility of excessive use of force.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur will continue to monitor the development of this case and provide consular and legal assistance to ensure that the rights of Indonesian citizens are fulfilled in the legal system in Malaysia," said the Director of Protection of Indonesian Citizens at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Judha Nugraha.
The Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also sent a diplomatic note to Malaysia to encourage a thorough investigation, including highlighting the possibility of excessive use of force.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur will continue to monitor the development of this case and provide consular and legal assistance to ensure that the rights of Indonesian citizens are fulfilled in the legal system in Malaysia," said Judha.
