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.
