"The minister has asked the governor to convince the dead workers` families to accept the result of the autopsy recently conducted on the fatal shooting victims," said Lalu Moh Faozal, a spokesman of the West Nusa Tenggara provincial administration, here on Tuesday.
Marty called the governor on Tuesday after meeting with members of the victims` families who had come to Jakarta to express their grievances regarding the three workers` death.
The governor received the call when he and his staff were on their way to meet around 300 workers who had joined a rally in front of the governor`s office to observe May Day.
Mad Noor (28), a resident of Pengadangan village, Pringgasela sub-district, and Herman (34) and his nephew Abdul Kadir Jaelani (25), both residents of Pancor Kopong village, Pringgasela sub-district, Lotim District, were shot dead by five Malaysian police officers in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, in March 2012.
Malaysia claimed that the three were shot to death because they intended to rob.
However, the victims` families said the victims had no criminal records, so it was doubtful that the three workers wanted to commit a robbery.
The families were also disappointed about the conditions of the three bodies, because it seemed as if some of the organs were removed.
On April 27, however, Marty stated that no organ had been removed.
"According to the results of the second autopsy on the bodies of the three victims, it was proved that the allegations of organ removal were false," he said while announcing the autopsy results in Jakarta last Friday.
The minister was accompanied by the head of the national police`s Health and Medical Centre, Brigadier General Mussadeq Ishaq.
Brigadier General Mussadeq Ishaq confirmed that the victims` bodies still contained all their organs.
