        "content": "<p>Coordinating Minister for Community Empowerment (Menko PM), Abdul\nMuhaimin Iskandar, has urged prospective Indonesian migrant workers\n(PMI) to use official, legal, and procedural channels to ensure\nprotection and improve their chances of success while working abroad.\n\u201cUnderstand the protection system from the preparation stage before\ndeparture. Do not be deceived, from training preparation to returning\nhome, it is a unified placement system that is well protected. Those of\nyou who will work overseas must truly understand your basic needs,\nnamely being official, procedural, and having adequate skills,\u201d said\nMenko PM Muhaimin Iskandar in a statement in Jakarta on Friday. The\ngovernment is currently building an integrated global talent placement\necosystem, covering education, skills training, financing, and\nprotection for PMI. President Prabowo Subianto has given full support to\nthe global talent preparation programme for senior high school and\nvocational school graduates interested in working abroad. The programme,\ninitiated by the Coordinating Ministry for Community Empowerment through\nthe Ministry of Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (P2MI),\nincludes capacity building, skills training tailored to global labour\nmarket demands, and various financing schemes to facilitate prospective\nmigrant workers. To support the programme, the government has allocated\nsignificant funding. This year, it is estimated that more than Rp3\ntrillion will be absorbed for global talent development. Meanwhile, up\nto 2029, the government has prepared support totalling Rp30 trillion.\nHowever, Menko PM Muhaimin Iskandar stressed that the vast opportunities\nfor overseas employment must be accompanied by compliance with\napplicable procedures. He noted that many migrant workers still face\nproblems because they depart illegally without adequate preparation. \u201cWe\ndo not want any more migrant workers departing without following proper\nprocedures. Many have become victims because they left illegally, thus\nfailing to receive the protection, services, or assistance they are\nentitled to,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
