TKI, govt's responsibility

TKI, govt's responsibility

From Media Indonesia

Indonesian migrant workers (TKI) are so unlucky. After being
exploited by unscrupulous brokers and public officials before
departure and on their return, they are also pursued by law
enforcers in their destination countries.

While TKI produce foreign exchange for the nation, the
government has been too slow in dealing with the various cases
they have to face, including their recent expulsion from
Malaysia.

In my view, the government is in a position to do something
about this matter but no serious attempts have been made to
handle TKI affairs. Despite the tsunami disaster in Aceh, there
is no reason for the government to shirk its responsibility.
