Several passengers who traveled from Batam to Tanjung Pengelih in Malaysia are suspected of being non-procedural Indonesian migrant workers. Authorities did not do much to stop them.

Kapal feri rute Batam, Kepulauan Riau, ke Tanjung Pengelih, Malaysia, diduga setiap hari digunakan untuk mengirimkan ratusan pekerja migran tanpa dokumen. Aktivis migran yang juga seorang imam Katolik membuktikannya.
