Protesters pelt Malaysian embassy with eggs over Indonesian migrant worker shooting

Dozens of Indonesians, angered over the fatal shooting of an Indonesian migrant worker in neighboring waters, have thrown eggs at the Malaysian embassy in Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta. A 50-year-old migrant worker was shot dead and four others wounded on Jan. 24 after the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, or APMM, opened fire on their boat for alleged trespassing in the waters off Tanjung Rhu Beach in Selangor state. Indonesian authorities in Riau province on Wednesday received the man’s body. The Indonesian foreign ministry has since demanded a thorough investigation, specifically into the possible use of excessive force by the APMM.
