Indonesian migrant workers

From Warta Kota

Wiwin bin Marka of Subang, West Java, an Indonesian woman who worked in Saudi Arabia, died at the police hospital in Kramat Jati, allegedly after drinking something that her Saudi Arabian employer said would make her work faster.

The problems involving Indonesian migrant workers in Saudi Arabia and other countries are quite complicated because of the different perceptions of the positions of these workers in foreign lands.

Often employed as maids, Indonesian women migrant workers are often regarded and treated as slaves. Of course, some of them are fortunate enough not to be treated in this way.

The government has made an opportune decision to set up something like a commission to deal with the problems that our migrant workers often face.
