Stop treating TKI inhumanly

I would like to bring to attention the unprofessional and inhuman treatment of returning migrant workers (TKI) at the airport, which the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration is in charge of organizing.

It is saddening to observe the poor treatment and fees that they are subjected to -- payment of which enables them to exit the terminal and go home.

My hope is that our new minister will put an end to this situation immediately, as they (the migrant workers) are human beings and have the same rights as any other Indonesian national, regardless of social status or occupation.
