Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD suggested that the National Police take advantage of face recognition technology or facial recognition tools to investigate cases of female workers (TKW) from Cianjur who claimed to have received unwearing treatment from their employers.

This technology can be used to further explore the identity of a TKW named Siti Kurmeisah, who in the video clip requests to be helped to return to the country. Because Siti did not mention where the country was working.

"The country where he works is not mentioned so we don't know where to look for it," Mahfud wrote on his Twitter account, @mohmahfudmd, Thursday, January 26.

Mahfud also asked the Ministry of Manpower (Kemenaker) to participate in exploring the case faced by Siti. This effort could be from investigating the company that brought Siti to TKW abroad.

In the video circulating, Siti, called Mahfud, is haunted by fear of naming the company PT Putra Timur Mandiri (PTM).

To add data so that the investigation into the problem of Indonesian immigrants workers (PMI) runs smoothly, Mahfud hopes that the National Police and the Ministry of Manpower will collaborate. Mainly in the use of the technology he has mentioned.

"But the name of PT who mobilizes the workforce is mentioned. The Ministry of Manpower can start from there. The tracking equipment with the face recognition belonging to the @CCICPolri can find the identity of the TKW. cc @PolriBareskrim," said Mahfud.

In the video uploaded by Siti then circulated on social media, he asked the Indonesian government to help her to go home. With a thin voice, Siti admitted that she did not receive arbitrary treatment from her employer and their children. Even related to what Siti ate everyday.

"For the Indonesian government, please help me. I want to return to Indonesia. The one who sent me PT PTM, the East Mandiri Son. I want to go back to Indonesia, please help me. I am here slandered continuously by my employer's children, and I am always blamed with my employer. I always eat this, it is not allowed by my employer. Please help me, go back to Indonesia. I beg you, thank you," said Siti in a video retweeted by Mahfud MD's Twitter account.
