Home is where the job is

Home is where the job is

Indonesian contract workers facing uncertainty condition in
their camps in Nunukan, East Kalimantan, have been given
assistance to return to their respective home towns.

Some of the workers however said they prefer to return to
Malaysia to work, despite their bitter experience, especially
after the imposition of a tighter immigration act.

We should strongly criticize the government for its failure to
provide adequate job opportunities, considering that Indonesia is
actually richer than other countries in terms of natural
resources. For now the workers prefer to return to Malaysia
rather than their home towns -- they must feed their families.
