Indonesians posing as Malaysians for security measure, says study

PETALING JAYA: A number of Indo­nesians are posing as Malaysians while some Malaysians are transiting Indonesia in attempts to outwit the authorities and fight alongside Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria and Iraq.

A study by the Institute For Policy Analysis and Conflict (Ipac) said that based on Facebook pages it monitored, it was clear that IS supporters in Indonesia and Malaysia were “friending” one another.
