Indonesian Ambassador Hermono speaks to Malaysiakini on health and forced labour.

Indonesian Ambassador to Malaysia Hermono says his country extended the temporary freeze on its workers entering Malaysia following soaring death rates in July and August.The temporary freeze on the movement of its labour force into Malaysia was initially announced by Indonesia’s Ministry of Manpower when the country closed its borders last year due to the global pandemic.

“There were 408 deaths in July and 700 deaths in August and most of them died in their dwellings because they were too afraid to go to government hospitals,” he said, in an exclusive interview.
