REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Indonesia and Malaysia agreed to stop Indonesian illegal workers in Malaysia or illegal immigrants. Indonesia's Minister of Manpower Muh Hanif Dhakiri met with Malaysia's Minister of Interior Affairs Dato Seri DR Ahmad Zahid in Kuala Lumpur to discuss the matter.

"Indonesia and Malaysia will take serious efforts to combat Indonesian illegal workers in Malaysia," Dhakiri said on Thursday, December 18. Both governments also agreed to conduct legality for illegal workers who completed requirements.

Until November 2014, the number of Indonesian legal workers in Malaysia reaches 826,226 people, or 39.7 percent of foreig workers in Malaysia. Indonesia hopes that Malaysia can cooperate in term of repatriation of illegal workers as well as take firm action toward agency employing illegal workers.

۞ وَلَقَدْ اَخَذَ اللّٰهُ مِيْثَاقَ بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَۚ وَبَعَثْنَا مِنْهُمُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ نَقِيْبًاۗ وَقَالَ اللّٰهُ اِنِّيْ مَعَكُمْ ۗ لَىِٕنْ اَقَمْتُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَيْتُمُ الزَّكٰوةَ وَاٰمَنْتُمْ بِرُسُلِيْ وَعَزَّرْتُمُوْهُمْ وَاَقْرَضْتُمُ اللّٰهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا لَّاُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّاٰتِكُمْ وَلَاُدْخِلَنَّكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُۚ فَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَاۤءَ السَّبِيْلِ
Dan sungguh, Allah telah mengambil perjanjian dari Bani Israil dan Kami telah mengangkat dua belas orang pemimpin di antara mereka. Dan Allah berfirman, “Aku bersamamu.” Sungguh, jika kamu melaksanakan salat dan menunaikan zakat serta beriman kepada rasul-rasul-Ku dan kamu bantu mereka dan kamu pinjamkan kepada Allah pinjaman yang baik, pasti akan Aku hapus kesalahan-kesalahanmu, dan pasti akan Aku masukkan ke dalam surga yang mengalir di bawahnya sungai-sungai. Tetapi barangsiapa kafir di antaramu setelah itu, maka sesungguhnya dia telah tersesat dari jalan yang lurus.”

(QS. Al-Ma'idah ayat 12)
