The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Kuala Lumpur (

Serawak), and Penang, and a consulate in Tawau.[1]

History

Before Malaysia became an independent state, Indonesia had already established a diplomatic mission in the form of a consulate in 1953. The head of the mission was Consul Mohammad Rasyid Manan (1953–1956). He became consul general when the mission became a consulate general as Malaysia neared its independence (1956–1957). After the establishment of Malaysia as a sovereign state, the Indonesian diplomatic mission became an embassy with Muhamad Razif (1957–1963) as the first Indonesian Ambassador to Malaysia.[2]

Diplomatic relations ceased on 17 September 1963 due to the

Benny Moerdani. Initially, the embassy was located in U-Thant Road, but it was relocated to an 8-story building at Tun Razak road, its present location, in 1977.[3]

The embassy has been a site for demonstrations, including ones related to the arrests of several Malaysian fishermen.[4][5]

Services

Aside from routine services, the embassy also has dedicated shelters for Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia who encountered difficulties.[6] It also works with the Malaysian government to register otherwise illegal migrant workers.[7] In 2017, under ambassador Rusdi Kirana, the embassy began offering 24-hour services.[8]
