According to the The Jakarta Post, the first batch of Indonesian citizens who have been living in Japan for various reasons have recently been rescued and evacuated. The devastating quake that hit Japan last Friday has led to many Indonesians stuck in the country and waiting for their chance to go back home. The 99 initial evacuees who arrived to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten was just the first batch of many Indonesians still awaiting their trip back home. The Indonesian Government is doing all they can to get their citizens back home safely.
As of today, the Indonesian Government has issued a travel advisory to all citizens wishing to travel to Japan after the massive quake. Japan at the moment is fearing nuclear activity and radioactivity and many are fearing the effects of the radioactivity, especially Indonesians currently in Japan and ready to go back home. Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa assures Indonesians that there have been no reports of citizens being exposed to radioactivity in Japan, since they have been screened and checked for any potential threats to the country.
