Deputy Minister of Manpower Afriansyah Noor ensured that his party immediately coordinated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to repatriate 16 Indonesian citizens from Jambi who were undergoing legal proceedings in Malaysia. "We immediately coordinated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and tried to negotiate to repatriate the 16 Indonesian citizens," said Wamenaker Afriansyah Noor in Jambi, Antara, Friday, May 26. He appealed to the public if they wanted to work abroad to follow the existing procedures, so that later they could get the right job. This incident is a lesson for all parties, especially job seekers, not to believe in the lure of a large salary but the unclear departure and the intended company. People who plan to work abroad must follow the procedures that have been regulated by the state. "Don't let it be non-procedural," he said. From the results of the coordination, the total number of Indonesian prisoners is 30, consisting of 25 men and five women. Indonesian citizens who are currently undergoing the legal process are suspected of being involved in online gambling activities. Of these, 16 people came from Jambi. Based on data and passport checks used by the 16 residents who were born in Jambi, they were passports issued by East Jakarta, not from the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights Jambi.
