BUKIT KAYU HITAM: Indonesia admitted that  the abduction of  five Malaysians by Tentera Nasional Indonesia (TNI) was a mistake.

In stating this tonight, Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Marzuki Yahya said Indonesia would ensure such incidents would not recur in the future because such an act is a violation of Malaysia’s sovereignty.

BH ONLINE quoted Marzuki as saying, “Indonesia admitted their mistake and accepted our reminder gracefully and will make sure such incidents would not happen again in future.”

He was commenting on the incident where five Malaysians were abducted allegedly by TNI in the Wong Rangkai forest near the Serian-Kalimantan border on Dec 11.

The five locals aged between 15 and 64 were kidnapped in the forest located about 400 metres from the Serian-Kalimantan border.
