JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Manpower (Wamenaker) Immanuel Ebenezer appreciated the Police, through the Tanjung Perak Port Surabaya Police which had sealed Jan Hwa Diana's company, UD Sentosa Seal, which allegedly detained at least 31 employee diplomas.

"The Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) really appreciates the Surabaya Police and City Government (Pemkot), which are responsive in dismantling the detention of employee diplomas," he said in a statement to the media, Tuesday, April 22.

Noel also thanked the responsive steps from the Resort Police and City Government for working quickly to seal it.

"This is very good cooperation. Hopefully the Resort Police and the government in all provinces will imitate the steps taken by the Police and the Surabaya City Government," he said.

He believes that the Tanjung Perak Surabaya KP3 Police will definitely be able to return the diplomas of former employees. Previously, last Thursday, he had carried out a sudden inspection (sidak) of the company in the Surya Mulia Permai H-14 warehousing area, Margamulyo, Surabaya.

However, in a meeting facilitated by the Deputy Mayor of Surabaya, Armuji, Jan Hwa Diana always denied that she had detained her diploma. When met with a number of former employees whose diplomas are still in the company, Diana still denied it.

When the voice recording of a former employee's conversation with Diana was played, where Diana stated that she would return the diploma, she did not deny that it was her own voice.

However, then he still denied holding back his diploma.

"I didn't hold back the diploma," he said repeatedly, every time Wamenaker Noel asked for the employee's diploma to be returned. In a dialogue for almost two hours with Wamenaker, Diana always denies it.

After the company trading onderdil was sealed, Wamenaker Noel hoped that Diana would cooperate with the officers, by returning the diplomas of former employees. Because with that diploma they can find the next job.

"There is no perfect crime. So we believe the East Java Regional Police can dismantle the detention of diplomas. Regarding the next legal process, we entrust it to the Police," he said.

Wamenaker hopes that all acts against Diana's law should be brought to court.

"The detention of diplomas and other crimes is not justified," he said.
