Uya Kuya Cries To Meet PMI Victims Of Torture: I Wait For You To Recover

JAKARTA - An Indonesian Migrant Worker (PMI) named Ayu became a victim of heinous persecution as well as an attempted murder in Malaysia.

This tragic case immediately caught the attention of the public, including presenter Uya Kuya, who decided to come directly to the hospital where Ayu was being treated. Ironically, the perpetrators of the brutal persecution were not foreigners, but fellow Indonesian citizens (WNI).

In an upload on his personal Instagram account, @king_uyakuya, Uya showed Ayu's condition, which is still lying weakly. With a stuttering voice holding back the pain, Ayu recounted the cruelty she experienced.

"This (right eye) is pryed out, continues to use scissors," said Ayu, quoted by VOI, Wednesday, October 15.

It did not stop there, Ayu also suffered severe injuries to her back due to repeated stabs, as well as cuts to her hands and ears which were cut by the perpetrators.

Hearing this news, Uya Kuya, who is known to be actively helping troubled Indonesian citizens abroad, immediately flew to Kuala Lumpur. He met Ayu and offered assistance, including the administration of hospitals and repatriation to Indonesia.

'I just heard from friends last night. I arrived at 01.30 this morning from Indonesia. Ms. Ayu, how do you want it? What do you want me to do?' Uya asked Ayu.

In the conversation, Ayu expressed her desire to return to her hometown in Blitar, East Java, after the legal process against the perpetrators was completed.

"Yes, after this, it's okay, we want to come back. Wait a little bit, let go of that I want to go to the court first. After all, then take care of the SPLP back, return to the village," explained Ayu.

What was surprising, Ayu emphasized that the perpetrators who abused her were fellow Indonesians.

"Indonesian people. All Indonesians," he said. Until now, the motive behind the sadistic persecution is still unknown with certainty.

Uya Kuya is committed to continuing to accompany Ayu until her condition improves. He even promised not to return to Indonesia before Ayu was discharged from the hospital.

"Anyway, Ms. Ayu is patient. I'm here until waiting for Mbak Ayu's news. If she hasn't been discharged from the hospital, I'm not going home," said Uya.

In addition to providing direct assistance in Malaysia, Uya also coordinates with the Blitar regional government and members of the DPR in East Java to ensure that Ayu gets proper treatment and assistance after returning to her homeland.
