JAKARTA - Minister of Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers/Head of the Indonesian Migrant Worker Protection Agency (BP2MI), Abdul Kadir Karding opened his voice about the hashtag #KaburajaDulu which was viral on social media.
Karding considered that the emergence of the hashtag #KaburAjaDulu which was viral on social media should be seen as input for the government to work better.
"The government must see this as input, then aspirations that should spur us, motivate us to work better to build better," he said at the office of the Ministry of P2MI, Jakarta, Wednesday, February 19.
Even so, Karding reminded people who want to work or 'go away' abroad to equip themselves with language and work skills. Because, he said workers abroad are not as easy as imagined.
"I hope friends who want to escape abroad are better off equip themselves with good skills, good language mastery. Then mentally strong, the last one going abroad must be with existing procedures," he said.
Furthermore, Karding said that compliance with procedures for foreign workers from Indonesia needs to be done to ensure national protection.
"So when he comes out, we hope that everything is recorded properly. So that we know his position and what he is working on and so on," said Karding.

Karding also encouraged the hashtag #KaburAjaDulu, which was going viral, to be changed to #AyoBekerjaDi luar Negeri. He said, in 2024, there was a fairly large demand for workers in Indonesia.
In fact, continued Karding, the total demand for workers reached 1.3 million. However, Karding admitted that Indonesia was only able to meet around 297,000 workers.
"In Japan, demand for 100,000 to 200,000 this year. If we open this, God willing, we ask for 200,000 to 300,000. Not to mention Hong Kong, Taiwan, not to mention Europe. Many Europeans have also started asking us," he said.
