00:00Malaysia can no longer expect Indonesia to remain silent on the mistreatment of migrant labour

00:07with outspoken President Prabowo Subianto at the helm. Political analyst Bridget Wells said

00:13this was evident when Prabowo spoke on the recent shooting involving the Malaysian

00:17Maritime Enforcement Agency and five Indonesian nationals. She said Prabowo's remarks were not

00:24unexpected as the incident was tied to the systematic poor treatment of migrants.

00:30Wells also warned that the issue could gain traction if it is not handled well.

00:35The incident on January 24 resulted in the death of one man and injuries to the other four.

00:41Another analyst, James Chin, said the incident could reignite long-standing grievances among

00:47Indonesians over Malaysia's treatment of their people. He said Indonesia is a growing economic

00:53and geopolitical power and member of the G20 and expects to be treated with respect.
