Indonesian workers in Singapore

Indonesian workers in Singapore

We were shocked by the report on the torture experienced by
14-year old Hartati, from Banyumas, Central Java, a migrant
worker in Singapore,

Based on our experience in handling the case of the late
Sutarmi Samin from Lampung, who died in Singapore, we would like
to appeal to the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore to show
political will and help the victim's family in its effort to
obtain justice, provide them with accurate information, and
accompany them in court.

The Indonesian Embassy in Singapore should play a role in
handling cases concerning migrant domestic workers in Singapore
by establishing a Maid Matters Service to help solve conflicts
between the migrant workers and their employers or their agents
in Singapore.

Such an active role would enable us to learn from past cases
and protect Indonesian workers abroad.
