M'sia is racist, says Indon party leader

JAKARTA — Tension between Malaysia and Indonesia could escalate after an Indonesian political party urging its government yesterday to take stern action against Kuala Lumpur, either by issuing a travel warning or even severing its diplomatic relations, if Malaysia fails to stop treating Indonesians badly.
The call from the National Mandate Party (PAN) faction in the House of Representatives came after the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur said a Malaysian volunteer force called Rela had detained the wife of a diplomat during a raid.
The embassy — which has sent a protest note to the Malaysian government — said that during the raid, the diplomat's wife duly produced her diplomatic passport which was not recognised by the Rela members. She was then taken into custody, said the embassy.
However, Malaysia has denied detaining her. Rela director-general Datuk Zaidon Asmuni said Ms Muslianah Nurdin produced an identification card but was released after officers found out she was the wife of a diplomat.
But the chairman of the PAN faction said the incident proved that the Malaysians and their security agencies had deliberately intended to humiliate Indonesians.
"They have done it systematically. We have to fight them. Malaysia has started to become racist," said Mr Zulkifli Hasan.
"If we remain silent, they will look down on us, consider us weak and later humiliate us even more rudely," he added.
