Research shows how smugglers 'help' Indonesian migrant workers return home

But our research shows how Indonesian migrants in Malaysia also use smugglers to return home.

Key Points: 
  • But our research shows how Indonesian migrants in Malaysia also use smugglers to return home.
  • These tend to be migrant workers who do not have proper documents or lack legal residence status.
  • But as a consequence, smugglers face heavy penalties of at least five years in prison when sentenced under Indonesian law.

Fair punishments?

    • It can include the captain and his crew who pick up returning migrant workers from the beach in Malaysia.
    • Meanwhile, the returning migrants are usually treated as “victims of people smuggling” and witnesses in criminal proceedings against their “smugglers”.
    • We found there was quite a lot of sympathy among Indonesian law enforcement staff for the smuggled return migrants.

Caught between a rock and hard place

    • But because regular migration to Malaysia is very costly, migrants tend to overstay their permits to recuperate their investments.
    • But those who have lost their valid migration documents or overstayed their visa face criminal punishment under Malaysian law.
    • More worrying are the high numbers of Indonesian deaths in Malaysian detention, where they are kept before being sent home.

Huge demand for return smugglers

    • The World Bank estimates there are around 2 million irregular Indonesian labour migrants in Malaysia, which, we argue, makes the demand for return smugglers very high.
    • At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, even more migrant workers without passports may have turned to smugglers, as they needed to return to Indonesia quickly.

A much-needed bilateral protection effort

    • During a bilateral meeting in Jakarta in January 2023, Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim discussed a number of pressing issues, including the ongoing need for more protection for Indonesian migrants in Malaysia.
    • The high-level meeting showed there was political concern about “safe and orderly” migration on both sides of the border.
    • These have become a cornerstone of their bilateral effort to protect migrant workers.
