"They are hospitalized and receiving medical treatment at Tanjungpindang General Hospital (RSUD) as a result of nerve disorders, bone fractures and lung problems," Problematic TKI Task Force Chief for Tanjungpinang Juramadi Esram said here on Sunday.
He said that the problematic workers were deported from Malaysia on Thursday together with 117 others. Among the deportees were two children under five years old.
Juramadi said that three of them suffered from bone fractures when they had an accident on the boat that carried them from Malaysia. The other one suffered from a lung problem.
"They have to be given medical treatment before they are sent to their respective home towns," he said.
In the meantime, Malaysia again deported 13 overstaying Indonesian migrant workers through the Batam's International Center port in Riau Islands province on Saturday.(IGT)
