JAKARTA, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- The Indonesian House of Representatives is considering a formal complaint to the United Nations about recent violent acts against its citizens in Malaysia.

House Speaker Agung Laksono Wednesday alleged that the recent attacks on Indonesian nationals inside Malaysia's borders were intentional and systematic.

Antara said that the National Mandate Party has also suggested that Indonesia cut all diplomatic ties with Malaysia if the country does not react appropriately to the increased violence.

"The insults have been committed systematically. We must fight back. Malaysia has started to demonstrate racialist attitudes," National Mandate Party official Zulkifli Hasan said.
