They are hospitalized and receiving medical treatment at Tanjungpindang General Hospital (RSUD) as a result of nerve disorders, bone fractures and lung problems,"Tanjungpinang, Riau Islands (ANTARA News) - Four Indonesian workers (TKIs) who were problematic and deported from Malaysia suffered health problems and were admitted to a hospital here, a manpower official said.
"They are hospitalized and receiving medical treatment at Tanjungpindang General Hospital (RSUD) as a result of nerve disorders, bone fractures and lung problems," Problematic TKI Task Force Chief for Tanjungpinang Juramadi Esram said here on Sunday.
He said that the problematic workers were deported from Malaysia on Thursday together with 117 others. Among the deportees were two children under five years old.
Juramadi said that three of them suffered from bone fractures when they had an accident on the boat that carried them from Malaysia. The other one suffered from a lung problem.
"They have to be given medical treatment before they are sent to their respective home towns," he said.
In the meantime, Malaysia again deported 13 overstaying Indonesian migrant workers through the Batam`s International Center port in Riau Islands province on Saturday.
The deported migrant workers group consisted of nine female adults, a man and three babies, said Febriana, an official of the local social affairs office task force dealing with migrant workers.
"Actually they came to Malaysia through a formal procedure, however they failed to extend their working permits, so they were considered illegal migrant workers and were deported through Batam," the official said.
The migrant workers hailing from the provinces of West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, East Java and Central Java were temporarily accommodated in Sekupang pending the arrival of Pelni`s passenger ship that will carry them to Jakarta en route to
their respective regions, Febriana said.
In addition, Febriana said, Malaysia would also deport 15 more Indonesian migrant workers on Monday (Feb 6).
"The 15 workers are now accommodated at the Indonesian consulate general office in Johor," he said.(*)
