Malaysia repeatedly ignored RI protests over Ambalat

Indonesia has sent 35 notes of protests to Malaysia over Ambalat since 1980 but they have not stopped the provocation by the neighboring country, the Foreign Ministry said Friday.The government sent the latest note of protest on Thursday following the recent encroachment by Malaysian vessels into Ambalat areas over which Indonesia claims sovereignty.
"We sent the note of protest to reiterate our claim over Ambalat and to remind them that we need to go back to the discussion table," Teuku Faizasyah, the ministry's spokesperson, told reporters.
Malaysia has denied violating Indonesia's sovereignty, saying Ambalat is a disputed area. The issue has again raised tensions between the two countries whose relations have already been marred by cynicism and stereotypes.

Why are the Indonesian so sensitive about Ambalat,what about the Indonesian illegal immigrant in Malaysia which now stand by the million,what about those indonesian doing business by the thousand illegaly in Malaysia.These are the unwanted Indonesian which we Malaysian need to deport.So Indonesian must understand and rationale about any idea of attacking Malaheoiysia.We Malaysian will not attack u but deport back all Indoesian who stays illegally in Malaysia and imagine the setback to their families in indonesia.
