Controversy

[edit]

In August 2009, Malaysian claim of the Island as part of Selangor state sparked resentment and protest in the Indonesian community. Jemur Island is part of Rokan Hilir, Indonesia not Malaysia. Pulau Jemur is included as part of a tourist destination in Selangor.[1] However, the claim was based on a travel Website of unidentifiable origin that inaccurately listed Jemur Island as part of Malaysia. Note that there is no plausible link whatsoever between the Website and the Malaysia government or any Malaysian. The news station went on to ask a Riau government official's comment on the “claim.” Misled by the channel, the government official immediately reacted by stating that Malaysia has no right to claim Jemur Island, without pausing to question the accuracy of the news. The news turned out to be another news TV hoax, as later verified by the general counsel of Malaysia and the director of tourism in Medan.[2]
