RI waiting for M`sia`s clarification on detention of diplomat`s wife

Speaking to reporters after a meeting with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono here on Tuesday, he said "We sent a letter of protest yesterday and we are now awaiting for a reply."

He said the Indonesian government expressed concern over repeated incidents of maltreatment of Indonesian nationals in that country from brutalization of a sports coach to the latest case of the detention of a diplomat`s wife.

"We are concerned about the cases which, although they were different in nature, generically reflect rude treatment of our citizens," he said.
