JAKARTA - The Indonesian Migrant Worker Placement Agency (BP2MI) stated that the moratorium or temporary suspension of the sending of Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) to Malaysia is proof that Indonesia is firm and in favor of workers.
BP2MI appreciates the decision of the Indonesian government, although it is considered late, considering that the Malaysian side's protest against PMI has actually been raised for a long time.
"BP2MI gives full support to the attitude of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the attitude of the Ministry of Manpower even though it is actually late, because our firm stance shows an attitude that does not play with Malaysia has long been voiced by BP2MI," said Head of BP2MI Benny Ramdhani at a press conference in Jakarta , Between, Monday, July 18.
Benny explained that his party has a lot of evidence that Indonesian workers are being treated arbitrarily. In fact, there is an impression that Indonesia is being demeaned due to the treatment of Malaysians towards Indonesian workers.
Besides being suspected of violating the agreement on the treatment of Indonesian workers, the Malaysian side is also considered to have often cheated in the placement of workers. This adds to the list of minor notes received by Indonesian workers while in Malaysia.
Benny told that the workers were abused, their property was confiscated. Workers are also often placed in inappropriate facilities.
"Their assets, money, bracelets, gold necklaces, rings, cellphones, were confiscated at Malaysian depots, not to mention the inadequate or even inadequate infrastructure, which has been used by our workers in depot detention," said Benny.
