JAKARTA: Authorities expect to fly the remains of medical student Adrian Jay Pereira, who was slashed to death by a would-be motorcycle thief in Jawa Timur, to Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.

Malaysian Embassy education attache in Jakarta Ludinata Misnun was quoted by Bernama as saying Adrian's body would be flown home via MAS at about 10.40am local time from Juanda Airport, Surabaya.

The plane is scheduled to arrive at KL International Airport at 2.15pm Malaysian time.

He said the victim's uncle and a lawyer arrived at the hospital to claim the body on Tuesday.

He said a post-mortem indicated that the 22-year-old student of Universiti Brawijaya in Malang, East Java succumbed to a fatal slash wound on the neck.

In Klang, Adrian's mother appealed to the embassy to expedite sending her son's remains home.

Mary Catherine De Cruz, who could not hold back tears when recalling the tragic death, said she and her family members hoped there would not be any complication in claiming the body.

"I only hope the remains of my son are returned home safely.

"The Malaysian Embassy alerted us about the incident and until now, we are not sure what actually transpired," she told reporters at her residence in Taman Klang Jaya here.

BEIJING: China recognises the presence of natural nitrite in bird's nest and will lift the import ban on the product from Malaysia after determining the allowed level of nitrite, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.

He said the Chinese authorities understood that the presence of nitrite was a natural development occurring during the raising of swiftlets.

Both sides have set up a working commitee of food specialists and experts to determine the permissible level of nitrite in bird's nest products, Liow said after meeting Chinese Health Minister Chen Zhu on Tuesday.

He had earlier discussed the bird's nest issue with Chinese authorities in the wake of the fake Malaysian bird's nest that has affected thousands of Malaysian exporters.

The high levels of nitrite recently caused the Beijing Tongrentang Co., a major retailer of traditional Chinese medicine, to pull all imported-from-Malaysia edible bird's nest products off its shelves.

PUTRAJAYA: Eight Malaysians in Papua New Guinea's (PNG) port city of Lae are reported safe from the ethnic clashes that erupted in the city recently, said Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman.

He said the Malaysians were working at a company in Lae, the second largest city in Papua New Guinea.

"I have been informed about what happened in Papua New Guinea and that all the Malaysians there are safe.

"We advise them to contact the Malaysian embassy and not to go out unnecessarily," he said after receiving a courtesy call from Hungary's Foreign Minister Dr Janos Martonyi at Wisma Putra, here.

AFP reported that violent ethnic clashes in Lae had left up to nine people dead and 1,000 others homeless.

The rioting damaged and destroyed homes, businesses and other properties, forced the closure of many businesses in the vital hub.

It was reported that the rioting began after youths protesting against rising crime started fighting with other groups.

Anifah said Wisma Putra was closely monitoring the situation in Lae.

"If the situation worsens, we will do something to take our citizens out of there." Anifah said adding that he was informed that the rioting was a "localised incident between two ethnic groups" and it would not spread to other parts of Papua New Guinea.
