RI CONSULATE IN TAWAU SENDS HOME 50 INDONESIANS FROM MALAYSIA

Indonesian Consulate in Tawau again facilitated the independent repatriation of 50 Indonesians
-- 33 men and 17 women -- from Tawau, Malaysia, to Nunukan, North Kalimantan, under the
special repatriation program’s 9th phase on Friday.

Indonesian Consul at Tawau Heni Hamidah and several related officials witnessed their departure
at the port.

The 50 Indonesian citizens are primarily Indonesian migrant workers, who have completed their
work contracts and also Indonesian tourists.
They were sent home with the KM Nunukan Ekspres motor vessel that was specially brought in
to take them to the Tunontaka Nunukan Port in North Kalimantan. Furthermore, the Indonesian
citizens will be dispatched again to their hometown after undergoing a series of examination
processes.

Hamidah briefly interacted with a participant named Wata Bin Badda, aged 80 years, from Bone,
South Sulawesi, who reportedly lived alone in Sandakan area, Sabah, and led a homeless
existence before being handled by the Indonesian Consulate and finally sent home.
The Indonesian citizens partaking in the repatriation program came from various provinces in
Indonesia, such as North Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, South Sulawesi, West Sulawesi,
Southeast Sulawesi, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), and West Java.
