KUALA LUMPUR: The incident where five Malaysians were abducted allegedly by Tentera Nasional Indonesia (TNI) in the Wong Rang­kai forest near the Serian-Kaliman­tan border on Dec 11 will not affect military relations between the two countries.

Defence Minister Mohamad Sabu said Malaysia and Indonesia had built strong bilateral relationship in all areas, especially defence, and should there be any problem they would be discussed at the negotia­ting table.
