Indonesian Ambassador to Malaysia, Hermono, said Malaysian employers who are abusive to their Indonesian workers will be barred from entering Indonesia. The first Malaysians set to be barred were actually acquitted by a Malaysian court in a recent employment abuse case.

There are nearly 700,000 documented Indonesian workers in Malaysia and hundreds of thousands more undocumented, but the Ambassador said the prohibition will apply regardless of the status of the worker or whether the employer has been convicted.

The ban will apply to any Malaysian employer judged as being abusive to Indonesian workers by the Indonesian government. There’s no word yet whether the ban will be temporary, permanent, or if it can be revoked.
