MATARAM, West Nusa Tenggara: Labor supply company PT Amestara
Raya Corp should act responsibly in relation to the recent death
of 27-year-old Saparuddin in Malaysia, said a local official.

Purnomo Rahardjo, an official at the local manpower and
transmigration ministry office, said Amestara, which supplied
Saparuddin, should assume moral and financial responsibility for
the matter, including transporting the victim's body to West
Lombok and the cost of the funeral.

"Amestara should liaise with its partner supply company in
Malaysia and the victim's former employer to process the
insurance claim in the name of the victim and bring the victim's
body home," he said.

Saparuddin, a resident of Sokong Village in West Lombok, died
as a result of an occupational accident at a construction
project. His body is at present in the morgue in a hospital in
Kuala Lumpur. --Antara
