Malaysian fishermen who could not Violate Territory Arrested

Indonesia patrol officers may no longer capture the Malaysian fishermen who violate the territory and into the territorial waters of Indonesia. That's because there is no clear boundary between the waters of both countries, both eastern border, middle, and west.
If by chance spotted the officers, fishermen Malaysia definitely sent home to his country. But, what about the fishermen are not out patrolling Malaysia and dredge the fish in our waters?

Based on the Indonesia-Malaysia memorandum of understanding regarding the handling of the Fisherman by the General Guidelines for Law Enforcement Agency Malaysia and Indonesia on January 27, 2012, both countries agreed not to will catch fishermen who enter the territory of another country's borders. Penalties for violations of fishing territory boundaries quite expelled.

According to the Director General of Marine Resources and Fisheries Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Syahrin Abdurahman, the provision was actually detrimental to Indonesia.

That's because most fishermen who go into the waters of Malaysia Indonesia using harmful fishing gear types trawling (trawling) which dredge fishery resources and damaging coral reefs.

"If by chance spotted the officers, fishermen Malaysia definitely sent home to his country. But, what about the Malaysian fishermen are not out patrolling and dredge the fish in our waters?" Syahrin said in a press conference in Jakarta, Thursday (04/19/2012).

According Syahrin, according to the search in some waters, such as the Tanjung Pinang, Batam and Belawan, Malaysia fishermen often go into the waters of Indonesia. Currently there are 300 fishing boats from Vietnam and Thailand in Kuching, looking for fish in the waters of Malaysia until close to the border with Indonesia.

This condition is quite ironic associated with the capture of 88 fishermen of Juwana, Central Java, a patrol officer arrested on 8 April 2012 for violating the boundary region when caught entering the territorial waters of East Kalimantan.

Some 88 fishermen who use the six ships were eventually released on 19 April 2012 after experiencing fraud money of Rp 90 million on behalf of workers by unscrupulous Bakorkamla and local agencies and marine fisheries.
