He said the Indonesians should not have protested as Malaysia has a legal system where those responsible for crimes like abuse could not escape punishment.
"Abuse victims will be protected. This is the Malaysian government assurance," he told reporters after representing the prime minister in opening the Asian Development Bank/Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development Anti-Corruption Initiative for Asia and the Pacific 10th Regional Seminar on "Criminalisation of Bribery" here.
Muhyiddin was commenting on the Indonesians protest outside the embassy and residence of ambassador Datuk Syed Munshe Afdzaruddin Syed Hassan against the abuse of a maid in Malaysia.
The People's Bastion for Democracy (Bendera) said it would stop Malaysians from shopping at Senayan City and ask them to leave Indonesia.
Maid Win Faidah,26, was physically and sexually abused by her employer for four months.
A couple had been detained by police on Sept 19 in connection with the case.
Muhyiddin said the government would implement the law so that those responsible would be charged in court.
"I don't endorse such things and condemn acts that can affect others."
He said Malaysia-Indonesia problems should be settled diplomatically to ensure continued good ties between both countries.
