Indonesia's head of military, General Gatot Nurmantyo, was speaking to a group of university students when he raised concerns that a food shortage in China could lead to millions of Chinese refugees coming down the Malay Peninsula to take over South East Asia. Hardline groups like the Islamic Defenders Front have been stoking fears within the country of Chinese workers taking Indonesian jobs.

"I told him that I am not scared," General Gatot said. "If they ever come to my place, they will come by sea. Once they cross the ocean, I will butcher 10 cows in the middle of the ocean. The sharks will definitely gather. "After that I will shoot at them, just by using small weapons so the boat will leak, and they all can be eaten by the sharks."

Evan Laksmana, a researcher at Jakarta's Centre for Strategic and International Studies, said the next step was for the internal investigation from the Australian side into the issue to be "completed as soon as possible". "And to what extent the results of those investigations are then properly discussed and communicated to the Indonesian armed forces," he said. "My impression is that if those results are conclusive and satisfactory for both sides, with the promise of future incidents like this to not occur again, I think the restoration of parts of defence corporation between Indonesia and Australia can be resumed."
