INDONESIA, July 28 (The Jakarta Post/ANN): The North Sumatra Police intercepted an attempt to smuggle 91 Indonesian migrant workers to Selangor, Malaysia, as the government temporarily stopped sending its citizens to work in the neighbouring country.

Indonesia has temporarily stopped sending its citizens to work in Malaysia, including thousands recruited for the plantation sector, citing a breach in a worker-recruitment deal signed between the two countries.
