SHOCK-THERAPY OVER AMBALAT NEEDED
Jakarta, June 2 (ANTARA) - Indonesia needs to give a diplomatic shock-therapy to Malaysia which is once again doing provocative acts in the Ambalat Block in both countries' border areas, a researcher said.
Director of the Nation Institute Research Viktus Murin said the shock-therapy could be taken in the form of summons of the Malaysian ambassador to Indonesia for a briefing on the Malaysian Navy's violations in the border areas.
If need be, the Indonesian Foreign Ministry should issue a warning and threaten to expel the Malaysian ambassador to Indonesia.
The second shock-therapy, namely the threat to expel the Malaysian ambassador, will certainly be supported by the Indonesian people who loved the sovereignty of their country, he said.
"It has to be realized that the Malaysian provocative actions indicated that Malaysia is not a good neighbor. Therefore, Indonesia should take a firm action. We should not let ourselves be made an object of game," Viktus Murin said.
Murin said that indeed Indonesia had a very dynamic history with Malaysia. "It has been a normal thing for them take advantage of every loophole from us for their benefit. That was why Bung Karno (Soekarno, Indonesia's first president) made a call on the Indonesian people to attack Malaysia in an effort to ward off the infiltration of henchmen of the 'Nekolim' (neocolonialism, colonialism and imperialism) in the country," he said.
On the legal avenue that the Indonesian government should take, Viktus Murin said that he supported the statement made by National Defense Institute (Lemhanas) Governor Muladi who suggested that Indonesia formed a strong team of lawyers to face Malaysia over the Ambalat issue if Malaysia took the conflict to the International Court of Justice.
Indonesia's KRI Untung Surapati-872 warship on Sunday managed to drive away a Malaysian warship, the KD Yu-3500, which had tried to trespass Indonesian waters in the Ambalat Block.
A day earlier, the Indonesian Navy's KRI Hasanudin-366 also drove away KD Baung-3509, a helicopter of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, and a Malaysian Beachraft which tried to enter the Ambalat Block.***5***
