Ignore Bendera, says embassy official

KUALA LUMPUR: Indonesian nationalist group Bendera’s warning that it will shave the heads of Malaysians and deport them is an empty one, said Indonesian Minister Counsellor for Information, Social and Culture to Malaysia Widyarka Ryananta.

Brushing off the claims as another one of Bendera’s attention-seeking tactics, the embassy official said he had full confidence that Malaysians were safe in his home country.
