However, checking for foreign passenger's return ticket is actually standard practice in every airport worldwide. If you didn't get checked, it simply means that you're lucky or the immigration guy is on a good mood - otherwise no matter where you are and where you come from, you will be checked.<br /><br />Some Malaysians question the need to check for their return air ticket on the comments section - it seems that they think that it's common for developed countries to check for return air ticket because they're worried that people who come from less developed country will stay in their country as an illegal immigrant - but nobody wants to be an illegal immigrant in Indonesia so asking for proof of return ticket sounds unreasonable and moot.<br /><br />Indonesia has its fair share of illegal immigrants. HOWEVER, most of these immigrants do NOT wish to stay in Indonesia, they're just using Indonesia as a transit hub to migrate to Australia, New Zealand, etc. Since 2008, the Indonesian authorities have worked closely with the Australian government to PREVENT illegal immigrants going to Australia THROUGH Indonesia. And yes, these illegal immigrants include you, Malaysians.<br /><br />So the reason why international gateways in Indonesia beef up the checks is because we're cooperating with countries like Australia to prevent flow of illegal immigrants to Australia, New Zealand, etc. Not so much to prevent Indonesia itself from illegal immigrants.<br /><br />I do understand your unpleasant experience in Sultan Hasanuddin Airport but you don't have to sound so arrogant as to dismiss that everything bad you experienced in Indonesia is because of some stupid 'hatred' between Indonesian and Malaysian netizens. Or because we kalah bola.<br /><br />And I hope you understand that the Indonesian workforce in Malaysia issue is mutually beneficial - you reap the benefit of cheap labor as much as we benefit earning money from you. Nobody is doing charity to anyone - if Indonesians can speak English proficiently, in all honesty, who's stopping us from moving to greener pastures like Singapore & Hong Kong? They need cheap labor as much as Malaysia do and they treat their foreign workers with more dignity.<br /><br />The fact that a lot of us choose Malaysia as a workplace is because of our love of Malaysia, which is indeed our closest neighbor, which share familiar similarities in religion & culture with Indonesia. If we are so ungrateful, we would never go to Malaysia to work - we would choose Saudi Arabia or UAE instead. God knows the pay is much higher.<br /><br />I once talked to an Indonesian cleaner working at KLCC and asked her why did she choose Malaysia as a workplace? She answered, "daripada kerja di Arab atau Hong Kong, lebih baik kerja buat orang sendiri!" (I'd rather work for family rather than work for foreigners like Hong Kongers or Arabs). Indonesians have heart - we love our brother Malaysia!Erique Fat Owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13121456499055013875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006231465120504538.post-44853829336805829012011-02-10T09:01:59.946+08:002011-02-10T09:01:59.946+08:00hahahaha! ye la tu kot!hahahaha! ye la tu kot!Biqquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01134513259357788966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006231465120504538.post-6328644936851801962011-02-09T21:41:54.650+08:002011-02-09T21:41:54.650+08:00maybe mamat tu kena refused entry ke malaysia kot,...maybe mamat tu kena refused entry ke malaysia kot, tu psl nk revenge haha...biasala provokasi je lebih3plepl8http://sekupang.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006231465120504538.post-87952331962759378242011-02-09T09:00:46.460+08:002011-02-09T09:00:46.460+08:00tu la na, laney, kitorang cam siap eh apehal dtg s...tu la na, laney, kitorang cam siap eh apehal dtg sini tak beli tiket balik, mesti ar ada tiket blk! ingat aku nak tinggal sini ke?! i just nak melengkapkan kepulauan indonesia je!Biqquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01134513259357788966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006231465120504538.post-6282929942532299852011-02-08T20:51:44.777+08:002011-02-08T20:51:44.777+08:00kah kah kah poyo.. tension tgk malaysian sbb aritu...kah kah kah poyo.. tension tgk malaysian sbb aritu kalah bola la tu!!Harlaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148522666233920272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006231465120504538.post-25859812914827831432011-02-08T20:48:26.124+08:002011-02-08T20:48:26.124+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Harlaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148522666233920272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006231465120504538.post-48520752423915907282011-02-08T19:35:36.105+08:002011-02-08T19:35:36.105+08:00hek elehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...poyo punye indon, sape...hek elehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...poyo punye indon, sape tah teringin nk duk saneeeeeeeee...
