Minister Of Manpower Concerning The #KaburAjaDulu Trend: If You Want To Improve Skills And Return To Indonesia No Problem

JAKARTA - Minister of Manpower (Menaker) Yassierli assessed that the issues on social media summarized in the hashtag #KaburAjaDulu are a challenge for the government to create many jobs for the community.

Yassierli assessed that the hashtag #KaburAjaDulu was also a concern and note for the government.

"This is a challenge for us if it is related to their aspirations. Come on government create better jobs, that will then become our record and concern for us," said the Minister of Manpower in response to reporters' questions about #KaburAjaDulu reported by ANTARA, Monday, February 17.

Yassierli also assessed that the hashtag #KaburAjaDulu does not mean an invitation to run away, but a desire to increase competence (skill) and get better job opportunities abroad.

On the one hand, I see that there is an opportunity to work outside. So, the spirit is not really running away. So, if you really want to increase skills, and there are job opportunities abroad, then return to Indonesia to be able to build the country. Yes, it doesn't matter," said Yassierli.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Presidential Communication Office Hasan Nasbi reminded Indonesian citizens who want to find work abroad must of course prepare themselves well.

He considered the hashtag #KaburAjaDulu no different from the desire to migrate. Hasan Nasbi said monitoring was a good choice of life.

"But, if you want to travel abroad, remember, you have to have skills, because if you don't have skills, you won't be able to have a good job abroad. Second, you have to obey procedures, so you don't become an illegal immigrant. If people want to start, they can't be banned," Hasan Nasbi said in response to reporters' questions when he was met at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Monday.
