What makes the difference between Indian & Indonesian?

Wrong body sent back to Indonesia

MEDAN: The parents of an Indonesian migrant worker who died in Malaysia say officials have flown the wrong body home.

Friends of Simon Petrus Sitepu, 22, called his parents to say he had died after being hit by heavy machinery while working at an oil palm plantation in Kedah.

The parents went to the airport here yesterday to collect what they thought was his body, but broke down in tears when they saw it was of someone else.

His father Bener Sitepu said it appeared to be that of a 40-year-old man of Indian descent.

P.S. A case of mistaken nationality.

We're a bunch of foolhardy seasoned Malaysian Bloggers/Bogglers who for the past several years had been shouting relentlessly to make our opinions/points heard by the government of the day through blog and other programming. In fact, we practically use our mouth and fingers. Though much had been achieved (we believe so) but we're not resting on our laurels.

We're constantly looking for new ways of delivering, sharing of information and lively discussion to our ranks of more than 25 million Malaysian and others around the planet earth - whether it’s through adoption of cutting-edge technology, the Internet and other channels.

For our readers:
We strive to inform, shape and change the way you live, offering content that inspires, entertains and enlightens. It's not enough for us to provide just information - it's got to be the stuff of water-cooler conversation and dinner discussions. And it's got to make an impact on you. That's our goal.
