Firms advised not to hire Chandra

JAKARTA: Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Jacob Nuwa Wea warned labor export companies on Tuesday against hiring Jimmy Chandra, the owner of PT Adi Santa Kencana Mas.

Jacob said Jimmy Chandra had violated business standards, including deceiving migrant workers.

"Business relations with Jimmy must be put to an end," Jacob told hundreds of labor export companies in Jakarta on Tuesday.

The minister said Jimmy had once left 30 migrant workers stranded in a Mideast country.

The Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration has frozen PT Adi Santa Kencana Mas' license as a labor export company. --Antara
