 Indonesian shot in Malaysia dies after treatment in hospital Protesters from the Confederation of Indonesian Trade Unions (KSPI) and Labor Party hold a banner that reads “Arrest the Malaysian Police who shot dead Indonesian migrant workers“ during a protest at the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta on Jan. 30, 2025. The protesters demanded the Indonesian government protect all migrant workers and push for a thorough investigation on the shooting by the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (APMM) of Indonesian migrant workers in the waters off Selangor state, Malaysia.

An Indonesian national who was shot by the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (APMM) in a recent incident has died in hospital, the Foreign Ministry has announced.

The victim died on Tuesday at Idris Shah Serdang Hospital in Selangor, where he had been treated since Jan. 24 for gunshot wounds, including undergoing surgery on his kidneys. However, his condition continued to deteriorate. The man has not been named as authorities did not find any identification on him.

“Fellow Indonesian nationals treated at the same hospital also claim not to know the victim. The Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur is still trying to identify the deceased, including through biometric data,” the Foreign Ministry wrote in a statement on Tuesday.

The ministry added that another victim, identified only as MH, who had been in a critical condition has improved and he is no longer in intensive care. The ministry has kept his family in Aceh informed about his progress.

The other two Indonesians injured in the incident, identified only as HA and MZ from Riau, have fully recovered from their injuries. The Foreign Ministry said that they were still in Malaysia to undergo further questioning by the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM), although it did not specify whether they had been taken into police custody.
