KUALA LUMPUR: Indonesia has threatened to stop sending any workers, including those for the plantation and construction sectors, if Malaysia does not meet its demands to protect maids from the country.

“If we can’t agree on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for our domestic workers, we will we not send our workers to the other sectors too,” said Indonesian Ambassador to Malaysia Hermono.
