The Malaysian government has deported 131 problematic Indonesian migrant workers through Nunukan regency, North Kalimantan.
The head of the local immigration office at Tunon Taka International Port in Nunukan, Nasution, confirmed on Friday that Indonesian workers employed in Sabah had been deported on Thursday.
Your comments:
I originally had mixed feelings about this matter because after all these 'illegals' are our people, Indonesians. Then, while talking to friends, I learned that they do harm to others.
I was told that a 72-year-old illiterate woman was jailed in Singapore for 'harboring' undocumented migrants.
She thought they were Singapore Malays [...] they looked the same, talked the same. She rented them a room in her flat.
What Malaysia should do is send these illegals to jail, let them finish their sentences before sending them back to Indonesia. They do cause hardship to other people.

There is absolutely nothing unfair about deporting illegals. These workers did wrong therefore they have to take what is thrown at them.
