JAKARTA - The atmosphere of emotion enveloped the Shelter of the Manpower Attache (Atnaker) of the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, when the Minister of Protection for Indonesian Migrant Workers (P2MI), Abdul Kadir Karding, visited one of the migrant workers who was being treated for illness.
In the corner of a simple shelter, Maimunah, a migrant worker from Surabaya, was unable to hold back tears when welcoming the arrival of Minister Karding, Thursday, May 22.
The woman, who has worked as a caregiver for two years, has now stopped due to diabetes and has not been able to return to her hometown.
"Why are you crying? Haven't you come back for a long time?" asked Minister Karding in a soft tone, quoted from an electronic message from the Ministry of P2MI quoted on Thursday, May 21.
Maimunah just nodded slowly. In the midst of declining physical conditions and distance from family in the country, feelings of sadness and longing seem unbearable.
Seeing this condition, Minister Karding immediately provided moral support.
He ensured that the government would assist in Maimunah's repatriation process and ensure proper service while in the shelter.
