JAKARTA - Gerindra Party politician Fadli Zon assesses that local workers or Indonesian citizens (WNI) are still not considered in their own country.
According to him, regarding the rights obtained, local workers are not as special as foreign workers or foreign nationals (WNA) who work in Indonesia.
"Foreign buildings are privileged, local workers are anaktirized," said Fadli Zon on his Twitter account, @fadlizon, Monday, January 16.
It is not known what Fadli Zon's tweet alluded to the welfare of the workers or laborers. The DPR member did not explain further.
However, most recently, a clash occurred between mining workers at PT Gunbutter Nickel Industri (GNI) in Bunta Village, North Morowali, Central Sulawesi (Central Sulawesi).
The chaos involved local workers and foreign workers who started with small quarrels to spread into major clashes on Saturday, January 14 evening. The aftermath of the clashes 2 workers died.
Previously, the Regent of North Morowali (Morut) Delis Julkasson Hehi suspected that the clash was triggered by provocateurs from outside the interests of the welfare of employees and the sustainability of the nickel industry. According to him, the provocateurs of the clashes at PT GNI brought their own agendas.
"We do not want the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere that has been maintained in Morut, to be damaged by provocateurs. We want the presence of investors to manage regional potential for the welfare of the community," he said, quoted by Antara.
Delis also denied the rumors circulating related to the clashes triggered by the abuse of foreign workers or foreigners against local workers or Indonesian citizens.
"Please straighten out the information, yes. The foreign workers who were attacked first, then clashed. In the midst of these clashes, there were people who took advantage of the opportunity to destroy and looting in the migrant workers' employees' dormitories," he said.
